As another Hijri unfolds itself...

asalam alaikum
          This month saw the start of the new Hijri 1432. Alhamdolillah.
          On the personal front, it has been rather hectic (and lazy). We are due to move in the new house inshaAllah in the next few days. There are so many things that need to be done, moving phone, internet, disconnecting water and electricity from this house and getting a new connection in the other house. Getting the paperwork together for these to happen and getting more paperwork to get that paperwork. ARGH!
          Yes, then there is packing and unpacking, and sorting and shelving and throwing out of the house (and then deciding not to throw it out because the kids have already decided that it was their prized possession or me thinking back to the memories associated with that piece) more ARGH!
          When things like these happen, my husband quietly and surely grabs hold of the item, puts it in a bag, puts a knot on the bag and gets it to be dumped in trash. I need that at times, but not all the time ;)
          He will also go out and get the paperwork, for the paperwork which is needed to get the Utilities moved from here to there. ( I hope he is reading this)
         Meanwhile, my kids will go messing up all the different piles I have made of the things to be sorted, things to be packed, things to be thrown away, things to be taken back with us on vacation, and soon enough, all will be all over ... and the cycle will repeat itself.
         Before I know it, we will be there and there will be home, inshaAllah. Pray for us. ma asalamaa.
