..because points is all my brain will allow me. There is much happening in the Tasmiya & family’s household.
- I am an Auntie once again. Beautiful baby girl!
- My certification letter was apparently ok as I have been granted a phone interview with the director of Hand in Hand on Thursday! Wish me luck.
- School sux eggs.
- I can’t really say I’m happy about this new economic stimulus package. It’s always nice to get things for nothing but I really wonder how this is going to stimulate anything since I think all we will be doing will be saving any money we get. How will you Australian citizens spend your money? Why can’t the government build stuff with it..you know like HOSPITALS, spend money on public transport and SCHOOLS. I wish someone would just give me the job of being boss of the world – I’d sort them all out.
- Work has started up a book club! Am very excited to join up. I had forgotten all about the joys of reading until I attended the Lifeline Bookfest earlier in the year. I have loved reading George Orwell’s 1984 (why didn’t anyone tell me how good this book is??) and the classic Animal Farm and now I’m onto White Teeth by Zadie Smith. I can’t say I am loving this one but it’s an easy read and quite funny in parts. We are deciding on our book club book next week. Excited!!
- My boys are doing well – 5 year old has started prep and has taken to it like a duck to water. 3 year old is LOVING special time with mother. 8 year old is blossoming with our semi-relaxed approach to learning this year (he had a very difficult year in 2008.) I miss my boys when they are at school and I really hate having to leave them.
- I have a big pimple on my chin.
- Fin
you guys have an economic stimulus package too?!
we got one and fat lot of good is it doing, except putting us all in debt!!
Congratulations on becoming an auntie again.
The book club sounds like fun. My sister had been telling for years to read Watership Down, I’m half way through it and really enjoying it!
MashAllah your boys have grown.
Put some antibacterial cream on that big pimple.

Haleem – the worst part about the package is that it seems the people who need it the most are the ones who miss out – pensioners and self funded retirees. And they take all the money we have, give it back to us and then say that we now have a deficit. Well DUH!!
Taiba – thanks!. The book club was last night and it was great. We did resort to talking “shop” though which was a bit of downer for those not working at the clinic. We have chosen a book – The Book Thief. I hope it’s good. And the pimple is gone alhamdulillah
beyond – thank you
