New post!

-We had a three days weekend. Monday was President Day. It was a quite and relaxing weekend for us. Saturday was 25 C and so nice, Sunday was partly cloudy about 18 C and Monday was rainy about 12 C. isn’t that a various climate??

-Saturday was exactly one year since I started my current job. Probation for my position was one year and I passed it on Friday with an excellent evaluation from my boss.
I cannot believe that it is already one year! I learned a lot during the passed year at my work and I have accomplished a lot. I can say that this is the best job I have ever had (knock on the wood!). I hope that I retire at this job or win the lottery!!
No one knows what happens in life! May be I retire at this job, may be not!

-There is a Video store close to our house that has a very good deal for renting movies recently. 10$ a month and you rent as many movies as you want; you just need to return movies at fifth day! So we have been renting movies a lot recently. Most of the movies are OK but nothing extra ordinary. I don’t know why most of movies are not really worth watching these days. I and my husband both like going to movie theaters or rent movies at home a lot. I can say that in last two years I have not seen any movie that I say Wow, this movie should get lots of Oscars or become the best picture! May be film producers are really going out of subject!!
Any way these are the movies that I have recently seen and are Ok or good:
-Cinema Paradiso (this was an old movies made in early 70’s but was very nice and touching movie, I know it is a famous one)
-Lost city (this is especially good for Iranian immigrants! It is about Cuba revolution. We canrelate to it a lot!).
-Break up
-Inside man


-And finally today is my husband’s Birthday. I have got him IPOD, which he wanted for a while. I got a very good one! And I have reserved for dinner in a nice restaurant, he loves good food!! Who doesn’t?? We usually don’t take my son to formal restaurants but I though tonight is his dad’s Birthday and we should take him. I hope he behaves well!

Better now!

-I am a lot better now. The storm is passed!
We had couple of fights and now my husband is more helpful. It seems that we go through this phase every now and then, he gets lazy and careless and I become impatient and mad, we fight and then we go back to normal mood and he becomes more helpful!! I guess this is what most of marriage are all about! Going through phases!
Thanks for all the warm and nice comments. I am so happy to have my blog and my virtual friends, this really a blessing for me!

hese days, there are lots of rumors around that there is a big possibility that US attacks Iran!
It more hit me when I saw that the title of Economist magazine of last week was: "Iran is next stop". It does not sound very realistic especially with situation that US has in Iraq now but Bush has one more year to go and may be like to give Iran's government a lesson, and most probably Israel is pushing because they are afraid of nuclear attacks!! I really hope it won't be another war
I truly pray for that. War is not solution to anything and just destroys cities and innocent people in it, no one gets any lesson and if they get, it will be a very high price for civilians!
There are lots of better ways to stop dictators instead of attacking their countries, like supporting their enemies and making them weak from inside!
I am sorry that I am part of both sides now; here is my current home and other side my original home where my roots belong! I know lots of people feel what I feel these days! God makes us human beings more realistic, loving and peaceful! Amen!

Sick and upset!!

I have been very sick since Friday, My son got it first and then he passed all the germs to me. I can tell that I have not been this sick for a long time. Any way I still don’t feel very well and have soar throat and cough.
On top of sickness I am sad and frustrated too which can be related to my sickness as well.
-I am sad because today is my father’s memorial. It is 15 years now that he is not with us!
I always miss him but what can I do! This is life and we all have moved on with our daily lives!

-I am very frustrated by my husband these days I feel that he is getting lazier every day. I work as hard as him out of the home and most of the house work is on my shoulder, although he does not admit it and he thinks he is very helpful but I know that he tries to get away with house work as much as he can and pass things to me! He was not like that when we got married first, he was very helpful but since my mom moved to US he changed, because my mom always helps and I believe that he thinks to himself that her mom is here and helps why should I bother! Anyway I know every marriage has up and downs, mine is in down time for sure now!
Every thing related to him makes me frustrated. I cannot stand his mom and his family either! They are takers, stingy and very annoying! Last night I was so upset that I wished I could just walk out the door and never come back! At the moment I could understand people that just walk out on every thing and leave! They reach to the edge that they cannot go forward, but I am not that brave and not that selfish either. May be if it was not because of my son I would walk out but I don’t want to destroy his little world! God, I know I am bitter and frustrated but I feel trapped. I wish it was like girl friend, boy friend time, you could break up any time and you go back together again. But when you are married and especially have kid things are very complicated!! I remember that my brother in Iran used to tell me that marriage is like a mysterious castle, whoever is inside wants to get out and the ones that are outside want to get in! It did not make any sense to me when he said it but now I understand what he really meant!!

I don’t like myself when I am negative like this but there is nowhere else that I could just explode like this! At least I can be honest and say what I feel here! I hope I can get over myself and go back to normal mood soon!
