Happy Day 51

Since I am starting my second half of the challenge I will be reflecting a lot more on my life and my week. I have been through so much this week all the ups and downs and all the other challenges in my life. I decided to do a reflective post every Friday to give me a bit of a peace of mind to be able to start my week in a better mood.

Today is Friday; August 19th

I woke up very early today since I am used to waking up at 5:30am on a daily basis. The day started very good, I did most of my work and was able to organize a lot of my work which should be handed in on September 4th. I was also trying to get my head around all the private lessons I took on and decide which ones I should drop after all.

The biggest challenge I faced today is to decide whether I should continue homeschooling my lil one or should I take him to a unilingual school (although he is capable of speaking both English and Arabic fluently). When I had a conversation with the Deputy Head at school, she clarified that knowing whether to take him to school or home-school him all depends on his capabilities of continuing university and being able to graduate from university. I strongly am aware that my lil one can do it and can make it through both school and uni but how is the biggest question.

I was advised to try an interesting series called Fuzzbuzz to help my little one read English. I have been searching left, right and centre for this series online but I haven't come across the full series.

Knowing my lil ones strengths and weaknesses is not enough, being here in Sudan with a child with disability is extremely difficult. A lot of places are not trained to deal with different students who have different needs and different learning abilities. My struggle is to find the school that will take him the way he is and help him develop as a great human being who will be able to complete university and continue with his education if he desires to do so.

Although I was extremely drained and tired, I went out with my sister, her husband and the lil ones. We ended up driving along the Nile and getting a bite at the mall's food court.

Have a great morning Lovelies (^_^)

Happy Day 32

Today was the day I broke my friend's heart I guess. Anywho, it was a long tough day with nothing going according to my plans. I had to shout more of the evening, crashed down and some great things happened too.

Today is Sunday, July 31st

I am extremely happy that July is coming to an end, I get paid today and I will also pay MANY of my ENDLESS BILLS. The morning started fairly good. I wake up at 7am now because my lil one started a semi course where he needs to be there at 7:30 in the morning (I thought this was absurd but I did it and my lil one felt very energetic). Unfortunately, after getting to the centre and my lil one's shadow teacher getting there, the centre was closed due to some preparation work. It was great meeting the shadow teacher and she was surprised at how big my lil one had become.

After finding out we had a day off, I decided to go home for a bit then head to my friend's school after dropping my lil one off at his physio session. At school, I finally confronted my principal friend with leaving the school but being around fro help. She was ok with it and didn't react badly to what I thought was a devastating news.

The afternoon was filled with endless private lessons, from Bahri, Amarat then back to Amarat and then home. I quickly rushed to the radio to collect m pay and started t he show which I couldn't do on my own. But amidst all the hustle and bustle, my manager and boss were extremely sweet towards me, my sister got a promotion and I got to eat pizza because my sister was celebrating.

A busy day finished with a massive crash and burn to get up early for my lil man's centre session.

Have a great afternoon Lovelies. 

Happy Day 24

So the weekend is finally coming to an end, which I always feel very confused about whether I should be happy or sad I honestly don't know. Today I had a day filled with surprises from beginning to end.

Today is Saturday; July 23rd

What started as the most boring day turned into a crazy day. My lil one wasn't feeling well and so I decided to cancel all my lessons to stay with him. I actually just postponed them to later so I can find out what is wrong with my lil one. My lil one also skipped physio and stayed at home and played all day. The lesson was a DISASTER and my students were tired, lethargic and tired. But it went on very quickly and I was able to keep my composure throughout (where normally I would be screaming at them :P).

The interesting part of the day was when I visited a couple of other students at their houses. They were a cute primary students whose father was a diplomat..!!! A REAL DIPLOMAT..!! I think I was more intrigued by the father than them and so I took the job. I am just waiting for them to get back to me to confirm all the details. The people were so courteous to the extend that I got a lift home for free.

I was so pumped with that job and the end of the day was even greater as my brother in law got us food from a Syrian Place nearby.

with a full stomach, I want to saay Good Night Lovelies  

Happy Day 23

The weekend is unfolding very nicely, and I started off with screaming my lungs out because my lil one lost his balance and spilled the milk all over the place.. GOOD MORNING WORLD!! The Joys of Having a son with C.P.

Today is Friday; July 24th...

After my long day, I spent a couple of hours reading and catching up with the book I started ages ago but it is actually getting a lot better and more interesting. I also had a couple of minutes of relaxation before my lil one and my nephew decided to bombard me with screams and shouts and questions.

The evening was the best part and so I will just talk about that. I was about to finish a couple of pages on my book and I was thinking of taking my mum and my lil one to eat out somewhere, but to my surprise my mum came to my room and asked me if I would like to go out with her.

It was such a  difficult decision to decide where to go, we went from just around the corner to a bit far and then we settled to somewhere further away from where we live in.We decided to go to Ozone a restaurant located in Khartoum 2 which approximately 15 to 20 minutes away from where we live. It was exciting because I knew exactly what to order.

When we got there, the restaurant kitchen was getting reconstructed and so my mum was not able to order anything of her liking, instead she settled for a Caesar Salad (which she complained about non stop and the order made her hate the place for ever). I ordered a red velvet waffle which was SCRUMPTIOUS..!!

Although my mum was in a bit of a bad mood because of her order, I refused for that to ruin our day together. And so I started to chat to her about all the things we did and the people around us. We laughed. We took pictures. We enjoyed our meals. And that is how my day turned to be the greatest day with my mum and lil one.

It was truly enjoyable and I love the time I spent with my dearest my mum (The fact is that I work day and night and I hardly spend time with my mum or talk to her). Have a great evening Lovelies and enjoy your families (^_^)
