Friends (or Lack Thereof *SOB*!) and Family
Thursday, August 23rd, 2007 | Life and stuff
I’ve joined Facebook but I still don’t really get it! I did so well by not joining Myspace even though all the cool kids were doing it. Facebook looks so much neater but it’s hard work trying to find friends. *wail*It’s like being in a room crowded with people and checking each one out, then walking up to them one at a time and asking if they want to be friends. And then waiting while they eye you up and down, checking out what you are wearing (MODEST DRESS if you have to know) and then decide whether you are worthy enough to talk to. Brings back memories of school. *sob*
In other news, nothing much to report. 6 year old has finally managed to make the farting noise with his armpit and yes, we are proud parents. I didn’t learn to do that until I was 11 years old and husband? Well he never learnt it at all. Children nowadays, so advanced aren’t they?
Nearly 4 year old and nearly 2 year old are fighting with each other CONSTANTLY and I mean continuous, neverstopping, like a freight-train. The youngest purposely looks at his brother and we all know LOOKING is heinous offence which should be punished with screaming, yelling and pushing. Of course, nearly 2 year old appeals the decision by screaming, yelling and pushing back. And so it goes.
Husband was ill yesterday and I really wonder if he managed to recuperate at all what with all the racket here at home. I dare say he would have had more respite if he went to work. Needless to say, despite his continued headache and mild fever, he has trundled off to work today.
Tonight is pizza night which means I can start panicking about not cooking only 20 minutes before dinner is scheduled instead of the usually 2 hours before.
Oy, I really need to get into a routine again.

Hey! I have Facebook too, though not many friends sadly. 
I agree.. I do feel a lot like I’m back in high school there.
Mmm. Pizza. Am hungry now at 9.39am, and I’m blaming you.
P.S. I never did learn the underarm farting technique. Boo!
Add me! Add me! Look for “Lisa Ahé.”

Aly and Editor - found both of you! MUAHAHAH!
You can always get one of your students to teach you the farting thing. It’s actually an artform. Apparently one of 6 year old’s friends can do it with his leg (!)
add me too, mona siddiqui
I joined facebook too, but not a junkie. I mostly use it as a glorified address book, and to send quick messages, why I don’t use email…no idea!
Ahh..the armpit farts, oh how I do remember those…haha. His friend can do it with his leg?!? That’s talent! Where’s Star Search when you need it…haha.

Ha! here i was thinking i was cool and you really liked me cos you added me to your ‘friends’ list, and now i get the distinct impression i’ve just been put on the list to pump up your numbers 
ahh, whatchagunnado?
PS give me tips on doing KL with small children. please.
Facebook- LOL, I agree with you. I don’t ask to be friends with people often. Which would probably explain my low numbers, lol.
Dinner- So I’m not the only one that panics when it is time to cook.
I really want to get a routine going as well. I’ll probably wait a couple of weeks, until my kids are in school.

My two do the same thing, only the offense apparently is “you are *BREATHING* *MY* *AIR*”. Children…ahh…a delight. In fact, I wished today that I had a million five year olds as I physically wrestled him into the car, hahahaaha.
Salams, i have facebook too. i think it’s good when you want to put some pics or write something that you only want close friends/family to see, which you can’t do in a public blog.
My kids fight too, especially when i tell them to go and play. Nap time - they suddenly become angels and play nicely just to escape their nap/quiet time, meanwhile i am dead asleep on their beds after failing in my forced attempt to get them to rest a little so i can breathe.
Yah i’m working on getting into a daily schedule. Reading this book: Managers of their Homes (http://www.titus2.com/ecommerce/products/prod_listing.php/1100) it’s really nice.
Hey, I am on Facebook too as Irving Karchmar I would be honored to have you as a friend, O Dervish
