The Imam’s Daughter

Salams to my gals :)

Sorry i haven’t had a chance to write lately. Things are crazy around here. We’re all fine alhamdulillah just so much going on. Mainly the same stuff as i mentioned in a previous post - but add to that a whole week of my husband being away on a business trip, my mom sending me an 18 page paper at 9pm to edit, my sister coming back from a visit to Lebanon, another sister’s in-laws visiting, Mohamad’s circumcision stuff, a friend of mine that is really sick, people to invite and cake to order for my mom’s grad party, and it’s just way over my head.

Two and a half weeks to go before we leave for Jordan on May 22 inshaAllah. So i’ve been doubling Sumayyah’s Reading/Spelling/Writing/Arabic lessons so we can finish them before we leave. That way i only have to take Math/Qur’an/Asmaaul Husnaa/Ad’iyah with us to Jordan. We’ll be back June 29, so i’ll have July and August to get everything planned and ready for the next school year.

And i plan to do Science/Social Studies/Computer/Qur’an ‘fun summer school’ about 1 1/2 hours every morning just to keep the kids occupied with something during the summer. You know, when they get bored they destroy the house and drive me crazy. Those are the subjects that were optional (not tested) in the calvert curriculum first grade and i didn’t have time to do them during the school year because of all the additional subjects i have to teach (Qur’an, religion, arabic) so i decided to do them in the summer.

Well, i have to make dinner now. My to-do list for these next few weeks is really long.
In any case, i’m sure you gals are not online much these days, with all the nice weather and all. If not - go out and enjoy nature :)
