I’m not talking about Feline Influenza (although I must say – vaccinate your cats!), Equine Influenza or even Avian Influenza. I’m talking about the HUMAN kind. Currently we have 2 out of 5 of the family suffering and it’s not a pretty sight. Tissues strewn all over bedrooms and the kids are suffering from coughing, chills and shivering and fever.
Surprisingly everyone is still in pretty good spirits. Nothing like a virus to keep us all happy. 7 year old is staying home today (this is his third day of it – he should be back to school tomorrow inshaAllah). 4 year old just started with his symptoms yesterday afternoon and thankfully the youngest, husband and I have been spared ……….

In other Tasmiya news, we have been throwing out a lot of junk and giving away the not so junk things from our home. Since moving in to this house we have accumulated so much rubbish I hardly know where to start! I have stuffed ELEVEN garbage bags full of clothing that nobody is wearing. Can we just stop here and ponder this – ELEVEN GARBAGE BAGS FULL OF CLOTHING THAT NOBODY IS WEARING. Such a huge sin. Hoarding! And for what? No wonder nothing fitted in any cupboard. And I STILL have more clothes I need to give away.
I have kept notes from university. IT’S BEEN THIRTEEN YEARS SINCE I GRADUATED.
We have wedding gifts we haven’t even touched. I HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR TEN YEARS.

Please remember to leave your questions here. I will get around to answering them soon, God willing.
Salam,
10 year has been feverish and headachey for a week now. Snot and tissues everywhere from the other kids too! The joy!
Flu here too.
I seriously need to clean out too and am certain 11 bags full would be only the tip of the iceberg. In the UK they make it easy for you and charities will come and collect clothing from you; I don’t know where to take it here in KSA though so it’s accumulating and accumulating.
Oh, get well soon, the flu-ed people!
hope everyone feels better soon inshaAllah.
i give away stuff all the time – i HATE to keep stuff, i am a purger. altho, the basement is a bit of a disaster, hopefully getting to that this weekend.
oh no, sorry to hear of all this illness. hope you guys don’t catch it and the kids get better soon
and clothes, and shoes, i give away once a month. sometimes i regret it but atleast we’re never short of space or a reason to shop.
Umm Ibrahim – inshaAllah your littlies are feeling better. It does make it easier when someone can collect the stuff – the only drawback is that they are mostly Christian charities (not that is a bad thing – just sad that Muslim charities are so few)
Spec – thanks! We are well now alhamdulillah!
shaz – I know I should be throwing stuff out and I always thought I was a purger. That whole weekend taught me I was a hoarder to the nth degree.
Mona – We are ok mashaAllah. Nobody else picked up the flu and the boys are doing well.
