Life in points, again

1) So, I am reading this book by James Patterson, which I just happened to come across quite accidentally and surprisingly because I normally associate the author with murder and mystery and other things that I tend to avoid like the plague do not particularly enjoy reading about. Anyways, apparently at the time his son was 4 year old, Patterson was leaving on a business trip and his son said that he wasn’t going to be missed because “love means you can never be apart”. I thought, wow, pretty profound, and from a 4 year old!

2) By this time next year, I am thinking, I may possibly have no hair – no, not because of anything bad – just that it seems like I have literally half the amount of hair on my head now than I did a year ago (the other half is in my bedroom carpet, and other various places around the house). Slightly distressing.

3) I have to say again time really doesn’t heal anything! You know, just putting that out there. Does it seem to make things worse? Is that just me?

4) I spent the entire weekend doing no work. It was weird! I actually did have work planned, but after months of seemingly non-stop working and child rearing, I took a break and just felt so, umm, I don’t know, relaxed maybe, that I could not focus on doing anything that was even remotely tiring! I did play soccer for like 5 minutes with my 6 year old. I think I won. Really.

How are you guys? Reading anything good?

Thoughts from Specs

You won? Pfft, who’s kidding who?

Thoughts from Mezba

Reading nothing good except Time Traveller’s Wife. It’s boring so far.

Need some good reading suggestions myself.

PS. Everyone knows you won at soccer. Isn’t cricket more of your kids’ sport?

i am reading the god of small things for the 6th time and loving it.but the end is so depressing i am actually deciding not to read it;)

Thoughts from shaz

specs - listen girl, i WON ok! right.

Mezba - i don’t subject myself to boring books! good luck. well, #1 and #3 are quite frankly fans of any sport. #2 is not a fan of anything too physical.

beyond - wow, 6th time? i’ll have to check it out, altho books that end depressingly may not be my thing. that may actually throw me over the edge!

Thoughts from sf

Haven’t read a good book for a while, maybe summer inshallah. I got a bunch of *cheesy* romance books so when I’m bored, I would read one.
About hairloss, have your thyroid and Iron checked out. I lost alot of hair after having N and haven’t *recovered* all of it :(

Thoughts from Dahlia

I just read the last book from the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.  I am a big fan of Young Adult Fantasy (if you like Harry Potter, you’ll like this series), and it was a great ending to a really cool series! 

As for the hair loss, that can be caused by stress, I had the same thing happen to me when I was in a super stressful situation.

I agree with your time doesn’t heal anything. You have to make the “decision” to heal in order for the process to begin. You have to make a conscious decision to let the bad stuff go so you have room for new good stuff.  At least that’s my opinion.
