Pre-school

My son started his new pr-school today. He seems to like the school and his teacher.
In this new school, they don?t provide lunch and kids should bring their own little lunch boxes. I went to buy a nice lunch box for him last week. There were so many options.
Very cute lunch boxes for kids, they were all sort of them in the shape of cars, Fire Truck, etc. He picked the fire truck! Any way today I put lunch, fruit and drink for him and took him to the new school. I stayed for half hour there and then he let me go to work. I called two times to make sure that he is fine and the teacher said that he has been doing very well. A funny story happened there too, in pervious day care, since it was a home daycare they would take off their shoes inside and would take nap without shoes obviously, but here kids have shoes on all day along and the school?s reasoning is that if there is a fire drill or emergency they can take kids out right away! Any way when my son wanted to take a nap today, he wanted to take off his shoes but the teacher asked him to have it on! He told the teacher: ? how come we sleep with shoes here? That will make my sheet dirty! I never sleep with shoes at home!!?. The teacher explained the school?s rule and he listened to her and slept with shoes, but teacher said the way he looked at her while he was questioning the situation was very funny!
Kids are so adorable. They have their own world. I wish they could remain that innocent as a grown up too!
I wish all kids all over the world were safe and had a happy life!

Barberian War!!

Whenever I watch the news these days and I see what is happening to innocent people and kids in war between Israel and Lebanon I get really upset.
This recent war is a big shame! They started it over a stupid excuse. Couldn’t they negotiate and talk things out with stupid Hezbollah, both side are idiots, barbarians who do not realize that this is not the time for war, we should all become united to resolve bigger issues on earth, like pollution, try to have a green and peaceful world, try to divide resources and money so poverty and hunger disappears! I know I sound very idealistic but if all governments decide to have plan to cover these things it is possible! I am sure that it is possible, just if everyone limits his greed and ambitious!!!!!!

Rather than being upset about war, every thing else is fine. me and my husbad talked the Lemon issue out. The good thing is that we both forget our arguments fast and don't stretch things out!

Very stupid argument

I am very angry at my husband at this moment. We have guests for dinner and they are all his friends. I have been working hard all day and it is very hot summer this year the hotest that I have ever seen here. He just started a very stupid argument over lemon!! can you believe it, why I have bought lemon while we have some in the garden at the tree which to me is not ready yet and it is too firm. He just yells that why I don't listen to him and bought it!! I am sure this is one of the most stupid arguments that you have ever heard. The point is not the lemon! the point is even if some one makes mistakes you should not rub it in to her face that bad or yell over a stupid thing. Does not he realize that I have spent all my Saturday with a little boy to make every thing perfect for his friends and he just make such a stupid argument! and when I become angry, he says why are you angry now!!! men, men , men!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a new post!!

I have been on training all week along this week. It is a good one but funny thing is that it was just two of us in the class. It shows how much money they make on these trainings that even with two students, it is still worth it to perform the class. The thing is the other student did not show up yesterday and today so it is a one to one class for me. It reminds me of when I was back in Iran and had a private teacher for English !! Any way I am learning new things and it is all paid through my work, which is very good.

The things that is all over the news these days is war between Hezbollah and Israeli. I really don't get it why these idiots are not stopped (I mean both side), the innocent people get killed and no one really cares. After thousands of years that human beings have been involved with wars, in 21st century don't they get it that war is wrong. Of course they know it is wrong but if they stop war, how they can remain powerful and how they sell guns and war equipment! and how they take control of other countries resources?? this is a very sad fact that they look for excuses to start war and kill innocent people just to cover their own benefits, politically and economically!! I wish UN was more powerdul and could stop all these crab!!

The other thing that was my in mind and I wanted to talk about is that I am more sensitive these days withought any specific reason. I get easily angry, although in general I become angry fast but I am worse these days, any little thing can make me explode. I feel bad and i want to stop myself from being angry. I should become more calm and more patient. may be read some books about this subject will help me. I need to relax more. I have a very busy life and not enough time for myself!! OK, enough nagging, I will work on myself and will get better!!

Belief

I had an email from my ex-coworker about the outsourcing issue. I have already written about my last job and the issue that they want to outsource the IT group to contractors. One of the reasons that I got my current job was avoiding that outsourcing. Any body that has government job here does not want to go to private again! Any way my friend said that the procedure has started and they will get job by contractor which is not clear yet or they will have no job soon. I felt bad for them and I thought to myself that I have been so lucky to be able to transfer to my current job. Although no job is reallly secure these days and we are all living in an unstable world! but at least I am not worry about it now!

You know sometimes I feel that god is with me and help me in my up and downs in life. I have dealt with lots of challenges in my life like any body else but I believe that god never left me alone. He always has led me to the right path although some times did not look right to me in the beginning but at the end I realized that was the best ting that could happen to me. I believe we all go through god?s tests and we all face challenges and pains, the more we try to resolve issues and challenges the more he helps us. I am happy that I have strong belief in god. That definitely helps me a lot in my life.
I think having some sort of beliefs can always be useful in life. But as I said before I respect other people point of views in regard with gad, religions, etc. There are lots of atheist people that may be are very strong and happy in life as well. It really depends on you, and how you think and what is your perspective of life. The only thing that I am sure about is that your beliefs what ever it is should be real and deep. You should not believe in god or some sort of religion just because you are scared of not believing in a religion or you are scared to go to hell!! You must be able to feel god in your life and be able to connect with him then believe him!
Ok, I am preaching again. Sorry about that. I am just talking about my own ideas and opinions!!! Not advising!

Click

Yesterday was Independence Day for US and was a holiday. I and my husband both took Monday off to make it 4 days weekend. My main reason to take off was working more on my son’s potty training and thank god, I am finally successful after two long stressful weeks. It was a big challenge for me and for my son too. I tried to make these four days fun for him as well. We took him to the beach, Sea world and parks so he had fun along with potty training!!

I and my husband went to Movie Theater on Sunday night and watched Click. It was a good movie, although it looked like an average comedy in the beginning but it turned to a meaningful movie at the end. It was a bout a workaholic guy that obtains a magic remote control which let him rewind or fast-forward the moments of his life (I always have though of this!!). Any way he keeps fast forwarding the moments that he does not like, like sickness, argument with wife, big projects at work, etc and at the end he realizes that he has missed so much of hiss life because of all these fast forwards!! I myself recommend this movie to every one.
Holly wood movies usually are entertaining and commercial but I have noticed that recently some film makers are focusing on valuable subjects like spending more time with family or stuff like that which is great, in today life we all definitely need some sort of warnings like this every now and then. May be it can shake us a little bit up and bring us back to our senses. The other comedy that I just saw few months a go and was focusing on family values was RV. So this is a good change in movie industry if they keep producing movies like this.
I and my husband had a conversation on our way back home in the car. That we should really remember to enjoy our moments, be patient and deal with challenges as wise as we can. Like these past two weeks that I was dealing with my son’s potty training I was so nervous, over worry and some times unbearable! I should keep remembering to be cool, calm and wise!! God, sometimes it is hard to remember that but we should try our best.
Life is too short to waste on unnecessary fusses. Good and bad moments pass and we should learn to remember that we need painful moments too, to become stronger and wiser and also remember that they would pass fast and the rainbow comes up soon!!

Wish every one a big rain bow in their lives soon!!!!!!!!!!!
