Can’t Think of a Title Here…

My eldest is on school holidays and while it’s only been ONE day (both of fasting and of the holidays) we seem to be doing well alhamdulillah. I’m not doing any formal lesson plans but I do notice if I have something arranged for the day, the boys are not so bored and destructive. That’s the key to keeping my boys out of trouble – keep them busy so they don’t have time to think up myriad ways of destroying, annoying and hitting. Plus now we own the house, I’ve been sticking things on walls all over the place. Next I’m going to write on the wall with permanent marker..just because I can.

Wednesday I will be heading over to the Southbank for my workshop. My ego has taking a severe battering when I was told only THREE children (out of a possible TWENTY allocated places) have booked for my workshop.

*cries*

On a brighter note, it means I won’t have to do too many templates and I will have plenty of time to help the kiddos.

Ramadan Mubarak

First fast on Monday for most of us Australians (though a few had started on Saturday if I am not mistaken – taking Saudi’s moonsighting I suspect). I pray everyone’s Ramadan goes well and that Allah accepts all our good deeds. I hope those who are using this month to lose weight, lose it and NOT PUT IT BACK ON TWO WEEKS AFTER EID!

I’ve been preoccupied with all things dunya(yi?) (We’ve bought a house – the house we’ve been renting for 5 years- don’t fret people, it’s a Shariah compliant home loan!) and haven’t prepared myself physically or spiritually for Ramadan. All I’ve done in the way of physical preparation has been preempting my first-of-Ramadan headache and taking a couple of panadol (tylenol) at sehri time. Spiritually I’ve done naught.

But it’s no problemo! It’s never too late. I’m not going to go on a complete “blog fast” like sister UmIbrahim – I do find blogging relaxing and while I probably won’t be posting all that often I don’t want to give up blogging completely this month.

I guess my goals this month are pretty much the same as everyone else’s so no need for me to go on. Just make dua we all get to fulfill our goals and that Allah The Merciful accepts our ibadah.
