1. I had an asthma attack at work. Alhamdulillah I am OK now -’twas very frightening, enough to force me to regularly take my preventative medicine now. Ventolin is friends with Symbicort you see and they love each other so if you want to be friends with Ventolin then you need to make friends with Symbicort (even though he is terribly cumbersome and annoying and hassles one TWICE daily – in the morning and the evening and rinse the mouth out or one will get a fungal infection).
2. I spent a lovely weekend catching up with old friends and making new ones. My children have a hard time coming to terms with me actually having a life outside of them. I don’t mean that in a bad way as such. I mean, they are MY children of course. It’s just that any time I leave the house to do a bit of shopping on my own or go visit a friend, there are always tears and sadness. Husband however can walk out the door and they aren’t fussed in the least. It heartens me so to think they love me so much but then it annoys me at the same time.
3. I have reconnected with my oldest (not as in 90 years old, but you get my meaning) and dearest friend. She is one person I have known my whole life and with whom I can speak about anything and everything and know that there will always be understanding, respect and deep love. Thank God for the internet! She is thinking of doing some “guest posts” here on my blog. Perhaps she can be our resident Agony Aunt or she may decide to whinge and complain, much like I use the blog. Please welcome her if and when she arrives.
4. That is all.

1. Ah yes, asthma. We have 2 kids on puffers, and our second feels a little left out. But getting them to take them can be quite the struggle! Glad you are ok.
2. I know what you mean. Being “husband” its rare, but our youngest has this unbelievable attachment to me. At times he won’t let me leave his site, follows me around like a puppy dog. It does get annoying, especially when you’re in the kitchen and don’t want him there! Thank God for highchairs…hehe.
BTW, you missed my inaugural Tribond Tuesday!
alhamdolillah, i’m so glad you’re okay too
glad you’re ok Tasmiya. I don’t know what asthma feels like, but I can imagine that it must be pretty scary. be well. and thanks!
nice to see u bak
Alhamdulillah, that you are ok. Please take care of your asthma, dear Sister, and I will dua for you.
Ya Haqq!
Hope you are well. Asthma is very scary. Aly had it. Praying for you.
Mousehunter – InshaAllah your boys grow out of their asthma. I know what you mean about trying to coax children to take their medicine. Sometimes it’s a battle!
Oh and you must meet my mother – she too is a fan of highchairs. My little one doesn’t mind sitting in a highchair at Naani’s house but HATES it at home.
Mona – thanks!
Shaz – it’s very scary. My nephew had an attack after me and the poor boy was crying (which is the worst thing while you’re having an attack because you just can’t get ANY air in). Alhamdulillah he is ok now but it’s frightening how quickly it can come on.
Umarah – thanks for missing me
Irving – jazakallah
Suroor – InshaAllah Aly is all ok now. Thanks for your prayers.
Salam Tasmiya, alhamdulillah you’re ok. May Allah protect you. Take care dear.
