A weekend.... full of fun and organization!  Lunch with a Muslim was part of interfaith week and I was one of 'em that attended and met with others.  It felt GREAT and reminded me that I'm missing the spiritual side of my life (and the basics).  Saturday I cleaned and organized the house, including the girls' room.  I even took out too small clothes or ugly clothes I don't want Gabriella to have later from sister's closet.  I did laundry. I attended a pot luck with the girls and managed to have a conversation with a gal I met from Friday who attened.  I cleaned the whole house and put away laundry by Sunday.  I even hosted a pink-pancake breakfast at my house which was one of the most lovely times I can remember, even with Gabriella like super glue on me.  Also, I went to mom's house per Julianna for a couple of hours, ate pizza, and watched some of the super bowl.  Mahmoud came home, watched Madonna at half time, and gave Julianna chocolate.  I ended up falling asleep in my clothes with Jules in my bed.  Woke at 2:30 to put Jules in her bed when Moud came to bed, put on pjs, prayed, back to sleep til 4:30am, Gabi woke sometime in the night, too- and then up at 7:30 when Jules came in LOUDLY.  Nevertheless, I am committed to working out at the YMCA today.  If Gabi doesn't cooperate, I'll work out during her nap today.

I'll also start on Tuesday, a five day diet.  Will require me to work out each day.

Groceries this afternoon, and then gymnastics.

Tonight, time for some Islamic reading for myself.  Plus, look up the study books I mentioned to the girls.
