I have been married to my Muslim, Egyptian husband for ten years.  For nine of those years I have been Muslim.  When my husband first explained the basics of the religion to me, I thought it was some thing I could get behind.  Saying "there is no God but God" in front of a witness, praying five times a day, fasting during the month of Ramadan, giving to charity, and making Haj in your lifetime if

Ayman lost his third tooth tonight.  (Well, actually I pulled it.)  The tooth Fairy personally told me that te third tooth and every tooth there after only gets one dollar. Happy Mothers Day every one! For my mom, I love you very much.  You are my best friend.  Happy Mothers Day.

My brother left me a comment saying my blog was old, so here is a post. I am no longer the best blogger but this site isn't going anywhere.  I am giving up on apologizing.  Here are a couple of pics that sum things up right now.  Above:  Jennah biffed it hard on her face and had to get both front teeth removed.  In addition, the week before, she gave herself a wicked awesome haircut.  So she's

I was in the San Diego airport on Veterans Day. My mom and I were waiting to fly back up to Sacramento. I happened to notice a very old gentleman, sitting in a wheelchair. This really isn't a big deal, but I noticed he wasn't in the preboard area. I was wondering if he knew this or if he needed assistance. Anywho, while I was scoping him out, I noticed that he was wearing the Congressional

Blogger has this nifty thing called "stats" that i never much noticed before. It has only been tracking my stats since last May and since then i have only had 1k+ hits. Before I changed the design over, I had a counter (which, stopped working, but was around 30K+) I liked. Anyhoo, now i like to look at the stats. I can see from them that I get random and bizarre traffic. A lot of the

I had no idea when my mom gave me the newspaper clipping about this new fangled "Mommy Blog" thing that I would be typing this six years later.I started the blog when my son Ayman was about 10 months old. I wanted to basically bitch about things and share stories of my children. I totally have. Ayman is now almost 7, and he has a sister Jennah who is about four and a half now. I am glad I

Ayman and Jennah wearing thier new Eid clothes.Crazy face pic, always fun.What a nice picture of Jennah, Amr and Ayman. Maybe I can get someone to take a picture of all of us today. We are going to the mosque picnic for Eid over at Nelson Park. I am sure a fun time will be had by all.

So I am talking to my mom today, about how I am trying to save for an IPhone. She tells me that my dad really wants one.OMG.Ok, my Dad has a retarded tiny little Sony Ericsson phone right now. He barely knows how to use it. He has had it for a year. Before that he had a Nokia flip phone. He had that flip phone for like, 5 years. Seriously. By the time he went to upgrade, he could only call the

Jennah and Ayman both go to school early now, so they wake up at o715. Ayman snaps to immediately. Jennah on the other hand, doesn't. I went in the room to wake them the other day. Jennah immediately asked me:"Mom, when I get home from school can I take a nap?"Yes, my daughter is planning her naps, even as she just wakes up for the day. Thats my girl. My reply: "Of course you can,

And we have HD video this time! Thanks Alex, this is great! And here is the final result:Last night we had corn on the cob for dinner. He bit into it with the wiggly tooth and it started bleeding all over his corn. I told him, "That's it, Uncle Alex needs to take that thing out." So tonight my dad took them to a minor league baseball game with my brother, SIL, and my niece and nephew. I sent

I went to tuck Ayman in tonight. He had his covers over his head, "hiding" as usual. Like I always do, I asked Jennah: "Where did your brother go?" He ripped the cover off real fast and yelled "RAWR!" I grabbed my heart and said, "OOOH! you scared me!" Apparently, my acting wasn't quite good enough, because he replied: "No I didn't." "Oh yeah? " I said, "Why is that?" He looked up at me and said,

Today, My sister-in-law and I did some running around while my dear brother watched the four children we have between our two families. While we were gone he posted this picture captioned: "All four kids while Facebooking....mediocre parenting at best."How many kids do you see there? I love you , Bro!

I took this picture on August 7th, 2004 of my baby boy's first tooth. I have to say it is one of my favorite pictures of him. Yesterday, August 14th, 2010 That tooth went bye bye. It had been loose for months. I kept telling him, "You better pull that thing. The tooth fairy doesn't give you money if you eat it!" He would not wiggle it. Well, he wouldn't do any aggressive wiggling. I

On Wednesday, June 2nd, at 1332, my brother Alex and his wife Renee welcomed their second child into the world. Sanderson Alexander Smedley was 8 pounds 2 ounces and 20 inches long. I am so happy for them! Ayman and Jennah are quite happy to have another little cousin and can't wait to be able to really play with him.Congratulations you two! Enjoy your new addition.

So when Ayman was learning to ride a bike, the kid next door, Nicholas and his mom Deb were watching. She was telling me about how she couldn't get Nicholas to ride without training wheels. (that is his bike in the foreground) She said she had a bike the perfect size for Jennah, that her son had grown out of. SCORE! So without any further adieu, Jennah and her debut on a bike with two wheels.

ok, so today I started getting Ayman thinking of learning to ride his bike. I talked to my hairdresser about it (thanks Rim!) and she said the best advice she got was to look in the distance when pedaling. I took Ayman's training wheels off, steadied him and ran behind him. I told him if he felt like crashing, to do it on the grass. Well, as you can see, he was successful! Way to go big boy!

I did some more cupcakes, this time for Miss Sonia's Mary Kay launch party. i accented them with sweet peas, lavender and sword fern from my parents yard. The cupcakes themselves are again Red Velvet with cream cheese frosting (a very popular cupcake.) they turned out nice, and I got a lot of compliments. I think though, it is about time i get some cards printed up.

So I made some cupcakes for a bridal shower my sister in law was hosting. I baked and decorated the cupcakes, which were Red Velvet, with cream cheese frosting. The decor on top is comprised of two silver wedding rings tied with a garnet colored organza bow. We filled in with an assortment of fresh flowers and , Voile! Yummy and Pretty.

Last night I watched a documentary called The Union: The Business of Getting High(it was about the British Columbia pot trade and misinformation about mary jane) Tonight it was Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past- not the greatest movie, but entertaining.

They had a blast, and I took plenty of pictures for her mom to see. The awesome thing is that Lilyith gets along great with Jennah too- she has little sisters so she is just wonderful with her.

Tonight was the series finale of Nip/Tuck. OK, first i have to say that i love this show. The last few seasons have been pretty crappy, but I have stuck with it. I stuck with it because the first few seasons were really awesome. They had interesting medical stories. Were they outrageous at times? yes, but i loved how they went into it with the patients.

We saw silly pumpkin scenes, the kids walked through tunnels, made from bales of hay, Mommy spent quality time looking at their chickens and roosters (why do i love chickens so much? Weird) We then rounded it out by purchasing pumpkins. Jennah of course got a "teeny-tiny pumpkin" and

So, Jennahs preschool class went on a field trip today, to the pumpkin patch. It was alot of fun. She was in a group with her BFF, Rana. Here they are when they just got off of the bus.There was also a hayride. Since there was a big rain the other day, they didnt take us out to the orchard, becuse they were afraind to get stuck in the mud. We did a couple laps around the parking lot and

So Jennah biffed it at the coffee shop with Amr and Ayman, and apparently bruised a bone. I took her to the Dr. for xrays and it isnt broken. That is good. However, she is milking the injury. I expect no less from a daughter of mine.In other Jennah news: she put a leash on the step stool and said it is a puppy. She has named it Shatawny.She calles Scooby Doo "Scooby Dude", and handstands are

Okay so yeah, i have been a terrible blogger. Real quick before i go in to all these pictures let me update you on me. I took my CRT exam and passed with flying colors and am now Cassandra Smedley-Nasr, CRT. Yay me! I also went to my 20 year class reunion in August and it was a wonderful time, however i forgot my camera so no pics. Like you care, right? So that is it for me. Lets talk

I went into the kid's room to check on Jennah, and found this. 1.29.09 Ayman had a picture he drew featured at The Haggin Musseum That is Daddy, Mommy, Ayman and Jennah.- 2.7.09 In his preschool play, Ayman played the role of the King, in Humpty Dumpty.- 3.12.09Of course Jennah had to get in the act too; she held a star in "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" -3.12.09Ok, yes, it has been quite a while

Jennah turned three on the 18th of March,we had her birthday at Grandma and Grandpas house, and it was a princessy good time.-3.22.09Jennah let her brother help her open presents, she is a super good sharer. It is possible that this trait will develop in to a trait of mine: oversharing.Seriously? Would you look at this cake? Totally cute, and Grandma and Grandpa bought it for her. By the way

Ok, so, since Monday, I have been spending my evenings studying. Ugh. Snore. I hate to study. I have been kicking it in Starbucks for the last 3 nights, because at home i would be "Mommed" to death.. Yikes. I hope i get confirmation soon to take that test. Of course, i am not ready for it yet, but you know- just to get it over with. I am punchy, sorry.Dig my awesome Obama campaign poster

So, we took a trip to San Francisco on bart. Ayman loves trains right now, so we rocked it on Saturday. The pictures are in order from the one directly above, to the top of the post.We started our Odyssey at the Dublin/Pleasanton bart station. Ayman really dug on that, especially when I told him that we were going to ride in a loooong tunnel under the San Francisico bay. We disembarked at the

I don't have the time to elaborate now, (rest assured I will in the future!) So, lots of things have happened sinceI last posted,I will try to recap it now.Ummmmm....lemme see.

Barack Obmama will be the next President of the United States. It is now 2020, and John McCain is giving his concession speech. I think he is doing the "Sad Grandpa" (thanks SNL), and i almost feel bad for him. Almost.This is awesome. Now it is time to glue myself to the tv, to watch our propositions. 8 better not pass.... to be continued....Thanks Jezebel.com for the awesome pic. I had to use

Okay, i am horrible at blogging now. So sue me. Lets just hit the highlights shall we?I am about to start my fourth clinical rotation at a hospital not far away. i worked there last time, and loved it. I finish school on December 16th, no telling when the graduation ceremony is.This past weekend, Amr and the kids returned from their five week trip to Egypt. my children now speak arabic. They

ok, so here i am almost at the end of August. My sister in law just had her baby shower, and is about ready to pop. My Mom and Dad moved into Dad's new house, We are getting ready to move, I am in clinicals at a local hospital. I work nights on thursday, friday and saturdays. Ayman starts preschool on wednesday (Yes!) I am feeling a little overwhelmed. A little. I am super excited to get

I woke up angry at Amr this moring at 4 am, because I had a dream he was lining up another wife, right in front of me. In the dream he was talking on the phone, to my friend Diane from my old job. He was talking to her about her daughter, and would not get off the phone to say goodbye to me. I was leaving our house (not our house, you know how dreams go like that.) He was on the phone, I

Ayman at soccer pratice....It is kinda funny to watch the kids are interested; kinda.Jennah shows us her tortilla chip. Look closely in her mouth. Jennah, showing her Daddy an absolutely fascinating leaf. Jennah and Ayman love to play in the hose in front of the house. They are supposed to be watering the plants, but it doesn't really end up that way. They get way more water then than the plants.

OK, i am begging the moms out there to help me by giving me some ideas on how to potty train my son. Daytime is great. No problems there. It is the night-time that i can't seem to do anything about and it is pissing me off. How did you get your kids out of that last overnight diaper?The frustration is unbelievable.Help!

So what happens when you don't hear or see Jennah for about 5 minutes? She climbs up on to the kitchen counter and helps herself to dry chocolate milk mix. I picked up the camera, to take this picture and what did she say? "CHEESE Mommy!" Not to be outdone, Ayman also had to say cheese. I think this is one of the cuter pictures of him I have taken lately. Did I mention that he was in the

So a little background here- the kids got 9 cheap ass goldfish at a party on January 28th. Three survived, in my largest pyrex bowl. Then, one of the three commited suicide by jumping out of the bowl, and another went belly up for no apparent reason (perhaps his time had come) so for the last guy, my dad bought a fishbowl starter set at Walmart, complete with gravel and plant. We also got a

Oh my. School is killing me. I am so bored and burnt out by it now. I know I am not done learning- I still have a few classes left. But the classes are BORR-IIIING. I took last Thursday and Friday off because of it. Tonight we the megacode for ACLS, (Advance cardiovascular life support, I think) Which is basically CPR with medications and defibrillation.

My refrigerator is taking a crap on me. I mean, not literally but, you get it. I woke up today- and it was sinisterly quiet in the kitchen. I noticed the fridge wasn't cooling. This is bad because it doesn't get cold enough as it is- so it really can't take a break on the cooling. I guess most of them cycle, but this one really can't. Just recently, it stopped making ice- I think the reason

It has been quite a while since I had anything to post. I mean, I have had stuff to post, but Ihave been to lazy to do so. My last post was in late April, and it is almost late May, so I guess it is time. I am back in class, for the next twelve weeks. No offense to my teachers, but I am straight up struggling to stay awake in the classes. Ugh, I dont wanna drink the nasty coffee they have there

So, two weeks ago I got the braces off. I have just been too lazy to post a pic. Everyone knows it involves getting pretty and taking oodles of pictures of yourself. So tonight, I finaly did it. Of course, I should be studying or writing a paper, but this is way more important, huh Dad?Oh yeah, I am trying to potty train Jennah. As you can see by the picture, it is going GREAT. (NOT)Hope

So here are some gems from Easter- As you can probably see, Jennah has learned to make a face. This is the only one she does. It is adorable of course. These pictures were taken at Genes house on Sunday. I just finished a module at school, and as of Monday, I am on clinical at a hospital here in Stockton. Lemme see, what has been going down? Jennah and Ayman went to the dentist and Yay!

So today my daughter turned 2. It is just amazing how time flies. She got her very own princess tricycle. We did a party for her at Ayman's preschool, where the kids enjoyed cupcakes with marshmallow peeps on them, made by me of course, and gender specific goody bags. Oh yeah, I was awake until 3 am the night before, but it was so worth it. Of course, no post would be complete with out a

So, my father and I took the kids to a place in Lathrop called "Go Bananas" basically, it is a large warehouse in an industrial park, that has several inflatable bounce house things in it. It was pretty cool. Ayman and Jennah were loving it. Unfortunately, Jennahs favorite thing was this really high slide. She is a short little thing, so it took her a long time to make it up the steps to the

Jennah is a drama queen. I believe I have said this before. Here are some good examples.When I left with my mom to go to the spa on saturday morning, she was standing on the driveway with Amr, pointing at my mom and I in mom's car, crying. Then she threw herself on the ground, (so carefully.) She was on her side, with her upper body propped up, like she should be laying a cross a piano in a

So, as I mentioned before, I am on clinical right now. I was sent to a hospital in a town 45 minutes away (did I mention where before? I dont know, and I am too lazy to go back and look.) Anyhoo, I tried to get switched to the hospital close to me, but they said no. (see earlier posts, I was pretty heated.) Well, they called me this Monday and asked if I would switch with the girl working at

I am sure, from the lack of posts, you can tell that school is back in. I am on clinicals at a hospital about 45 minutes away from my house. I am doing Wednesday nights and Saturday and Sunday days. It is going pretty well. The boy went back to school, my mom is off vacay, and it is all business as usual. I have started the diet, again; right now, I really don't want to get on the scale to

I was just watching a repeat of The Daily Show from Memorial Day Weekend. Al Gore was on, and he did two segments. It was awesome. I really wish that guy would run for President. He totally kicks ass. I think he could win if he ran. Too bad he isnt going to. I wish Draft Gore actually worked. Plus, he is hunky. I wanna see some more of him with the facial hair working. That was awesome. If you

So my life revolves around TV and the internets. When not in school, that is. Obviously this bunch of posts is happening because I have some more time. Normally I would be in school at this time, but not now, as I have said, I am on vacay.Now on to the reason for my post....JAMIE LYNN SPEARS, 16, IS PREGNANT!Why am I so disturbed by this? Is it because she has a show on Nickelodeon? Is it

WOO HOOO! It's Nip/Tuck Tuesday! Yes, my life revolves around tv. You should have seen me when i still had my DVR. Man, I miss that thing. Last week was the first really good show of the season. I can't wait to see tonight. I will be very bummed when they run out of shows, which I am guessing will be really soon. I wish the writers were off of strike already. Crap.

I am sleepy. I actually didn't have school tonight. I am on vacay. The downside, when i usually get to make my escape, at the time of day when my kids are most irritating, there is no escaping. I am stuck. Ayman is very close to nodding off right now, it is his sheer determination to finish the episode of The Backyardigans that Amr cued up for him, that is preventing him from falling asleep.OK

I am going to fricking Maric College because of the evening classes, and flexible schedule. They have me going somewhere far away for a clinical rotation. When i found out someone didnt pass the class required to go on clinical, thereby opening up a position, 15 minutes from where i live, I called to ask for that positon. The powertripper I talked to straightup said "no" because it would be

I am tired. I took my comprehensive lab final last night, and really felt that I tanked it. There were several questions I actually didnt answer and questions i straight up guessed at. I got an 85%. One of the top two scores in the class if not the best in the class. I was shocked. i mean, really shocked. I was thinking if i got a C on that test it would be a total miracle. Hopefully I am

Today was a very good day.I didn't know it was going to be a good day, and I didn't try to make it one. It just was.First, my son woke up all on his own, with out any bullying, tickling or harrassment. Jennah and I slept until noon. I got up, and let the chicken outside. Then i made frosting for a cake i made for a classmates surprise baby shower, that I organized. The cake was a white cake, with

The top picture is Ayman, totally enjoying the frosting of the Funfetti cupcakes, i painstakingly made for Aymans party at preschool. The second picture shows the excited kids when they sat down to enjoy said cupcakes. The bottom picture is Jennah getting in on some cupcake action. When she goes to Aymans school, she owns it.

Next stop on the Halloween tour- Uncle Jim and Aunt Cindy's house.They did really good and got some fun toys.However, they were done with the driving around and ready to trick or treat.The next day, i used child labor to clean the Halloween mess.I am telling you, she likes to squat when you take her picture.

Jennah and her famous pose- squatting down. Don't ask....I doctored Aymans store bought costume.That reflective tape is awesome!He even had his name on the back.First stop- Uncle Alex and Auntie NayNay's house.Sometimes, it is really hard to get everyone to look at the camera at the same time.

After showing his breasts, Mr. Peepers goes for his well earned beads.Ok, we dont know if it is a boy or a girl yet, and I am not gonna go all Mike Rowe and squeeze out its poop to try and sex it.The top picture is me and the kids in one of my awesome self portraits. It isn't that Amr wouldn't take the picture, I just like to take self portraits.

Jennah with a Jennah size pumpkin.Amr takes a call on the princess phone.Ayman is a swinger.So my dad grew pumpkins in his yard this year, and we went over to pick them about a week and a half ago. While we were in the backyard we kept hearing a loud peeping noise, like a baby bird. That was weird because it is October and all. Then about a half hour later, Petie, my Dad's terrier started

I have too much stuff going on. Anyone who knows me knows this. Now add to this a total addiction for the show nip/tuck, and the fact that i have downloaded seasons one thru three onto my computer, and school is getting harder, you can figure out something will suffer somewhere. I can promise you now that i will post awesome pictures of the kids from Halloween, and probably the Eid celebration,

She is is too much.Ayman, having a great time at the playground.Playing nice together for once.....Ayman, got to ride in the fire truck, for about 20 feet.They gave out "helmets"after the tour.So on Monday, I took the kids to the park for a bit. They played like crazy for about 40 minutes. Then unbeknownst to Ayman, we walked over to the nearby fire station for a Storytime sponsored my the

So, I got on the bus to buckle Ayman in this morning. The little boy that is in his class, Dante, wasn't in the seat he usually sits in. I was about to buckle Ayman in, and noticed Dante was sitting in the seat behind. I said "There you are, Dante" Ayman looked at me, and immediately stood up, and moved to sit next to Dante. It appears he has made a friend at school. Last time I took him to the

So, some folks know I had Ayman evaluated for speech delay, and he was found to have one, so he is in a special pre-k class. In this class he gets to do regular preschool stuff, plus work with speech therapists, and stuff like that. Every year, we will meet in June and discuss his progress. This past June was our first such meeting. The team of wonderful teachers at XXXXXXXX XXXXXXX Elementary

And of course i am copping out an just putting up some pics from this weekend on the boat-Dad cleaned it up, changed the oil and put it in the water for the first time this summer. We went out and had a nice picnic. A good time was had by all. Of course i totally ate it getting of the boat- didn't have my sea legs or something....so i have a beatiful keepsake in the form of a huge bruise on my

So this is what his hair ended up looking like. Much more even than yesterday. Like the look on his face? He is trying not to poop in the tub, actually he is just trying not to poop.I told him he would have to be shaved as bald as Uncle Alex, but it isn't quite that short.Despite his cold, he seems to be pretty chipper. And after this picture, he went poop, so all in all it was a pretty

Notice anything in this picture? Anything yet? How about that gap in Aymans bangs? If you look at the top picture, you also notice some divits on top. You guessed it, Ayman gave himself a haircut.Thank goodness he didn't cut Jennahs hair.Stay tuned tomorrow for Ayman's buzzcut.

Gene gave Ayman a piggy bank in the shape of a Cintas truck yesterday. Complete with about 300 pennies. for fun we emptied them out and let the kids play. What choking hazard? So what if Jennah is pooping out pennies like a change machine for two days, she had fun.It kept Jennah so occupied that i was able to put pincurls in her hair. She looked so cute with her hair all pinned up....Then

Jennah went to her second 4th of July fireworks this year. While the display sucked this year for reasons not worth going into, the kids had a good time.Auntie Renee bought some cinnamon bears, and the kids couldn't get enough of them.here is Jennah rolling aound on a blanket before she eats ANOTHER cinnamon bear.Almost dark, time for another cinnamon bear.Jennah enjoys her water and cookie right

Amr got Jennah some sunglasses at the 99 cent store. She loves them. She has this little clear purse. She carries beads, a cell phone, and an assortment of little trinkets. Animals letters Diego figures. She is a real kick. She is loving the Backyardigans right now. She actually dances when the theme song plays. It is really too cute.Then she has this crazy smile.
