i was sooooo happy about 1 hour ago. i'm ready for christmas...ready to go home and spend the next 2 days with my husband, son and mother.
i work at stanford hospital....and my husband had both of his bone marrow transplants here...so i basically live here. my husband had a doctor appointment today with his lymphoma doctor. ....and i was sick last week....and marcel got sick from me....now he has pnemonia. im so upset. this is the first year since 2005 that marcel has had a cancer free christmas....and this happens.
i know....it could be worse. i'm grateful to god that hes alive and otherwise healthy.
so all of my superficial plans are to the side...i dont care about anything but him getting better.
the only thing that sucks is...im stuck in my office for another hour and half...and i just wish i could be with him to find out exactly whats going on....

Arabic daily newspapers or magazines in California?
The only arabic newspapers that I've found in our area, are just advertisment papers.
Anyone know of any arabic magazines or daily newspapers in print that deliver to California residences? I tried google to see if anything came up.....but i just got a bunch of out of date websites.
(lebanese papers preffered...but any will do)

its sucks!
i took the H1N1 (swine flu) shot last friday...i felt a little under the weather the following day...but as of wednesday night i have not been myself. by not being myself..i mean i fell asleep wednesday night..and woke up this morning (satruday) ...i only woke up because i had to come to work. ....
and i've been a baby all day. seriously! its so bad..i need to just go to sleep. i dont remember driving to work (that cant be good). my husband had to blow dry my hair because my arm muscles were so sore.
i wonder if i got the swine flu from the swine flu vaccine.
i dont know ....
i just hate being sick!!!!

THE BEST THING ABOUT MARRIAGE IS
there is another person (aside from your children) who you are a part of. you become less selfish when you have someone else's life to consider.
my husband drives me crazy, often. but he thinks of me and my son before himself. since we've arrived in the states my husband has bought only 2 pairs of tennis shoes for himself...but every 4 months he takes my son to footlocker to get new ones for himself. he will give me and my son money so we can buy lunch for work/school...and make sandwiches for himself.
sometimes i dont let him know how much i appreciate him...but i really do.
today was my office holiday potluck. last night at 5 pm...i called him and told him i needed a ham from the honeybaked ham store, and a nice gift for a co-worker(my husband hates shopping)....but he did everything for me...and today wasnt as stressful as it would of been, because of him.

yuck!
one of my yonug male cousins spent the night on thrusday. he's like 20 i think.
friday comes, my husband, my son, and me leave for work and school for my son(my mom isnt home because she is at her sisters for the evening).
first...i dont really know this cousin well. he called on thrusday (he lives at school) and said he had no school the following day..and had no where to go....could we pick him up. so we did. NEVER AGAIN!
why????? because after i dropped him off friday night...i was about to watch a movie with my husband and son...when we came accross a memo on our tv that we still hadnt finished watching a movie..and had like12 hours till it expired ....it was a porn movie.
i spent the rest of the evening sanitizing everything.

lebanese nomads
we talk to our families in Lebanon at least once a week...my husband usually calls his parents every other day.
but we dont realize how much we miss our families untill certain holidays come around. like christmas.
life happens, and sometimes we forget how grateful we are to have a good life..and even though our families in Lebanon are doing fine....we dont help them out finacially the way we could and should. so at times like holidays we send them a cash gift to make up for not being there (pathetic right?)
i wonder how many others do this? theres more Lebanese outside of Lebanon than inside of Lebanon..
about 5 years ago me and my husband used to post messages in a Lebanese msn group...and everyone on the site was Lebanese...but only about 10 percent of the members actually lived in Lebanon. besides Lebanon...majority of my husbands family lives in Australia or Canada....and for me, my family outside of Lebanon are mostly here in the States...but also in France and Egypt
it sucks knowing that all of your family will never be in the same room at the same time.
