Laundry day..Just for my little girl's camp ♥

SubhanaAllah we have had a nice weather lately! InshaAllah it will stay next week!
On Monday Donjana is going on a camp for one week. it's for Arabic speaking kids, for keeping up with the language and culture. MashaAllah!

Today I have made 3 loads of laundry (the basket is empty now mashaAllah ). I want to make sure alllll her thousands of clothes are clean when I pack her things tomorrow. Gotta goo and empty the machine one more time soooonish..



I'm afraid I will pack too much stuff.. You just never know the weather here. It could be one week hot or one week cold and rain.. So I need to put for her clothes for every weather for 7 days.. She needs a rain coat, wellies, sandals, sport shoes, t-shirts, long sleeved shirts, jacket and pants for windy weather, cardigan or such, shorts, dresses, skirts.. One pair of party clothes for camp party.. sheets and sleeping bag.. OMG stresssssssss!

From my town 15 kids are going (and another 15 from other towns). I was planning to get her together with some older girl who could help her with stuff. This is her first time out from home over night . It woild be good if some older girl would keep her company.. i'm sure I will know one of the girls who go from here, or at least someone's mom inshaAllah!

Two teachers go from here too. One is the one that was teaching donjana Arabic language at school. He is palestinian and knows dh too. dh doesn't remember him though.. They haven't met through school yet. The other teacher was teaching Islam for Nenna at school and he used to teach our Finnish sisters group years ago at the masjid. He was a witness when nenna and her dh got married islamically. I know his wife too, she used to teach us Arabic at the masjid. And he has been with dh on a dawah weekend trip.. Alhamdulilah I know I can trust both of the teachers.

The camp is over 200km from here, they go with a train and busses. Donjana has motion sickness sometimes on long drives. I got her medicine for that. InshaAllah she won't be sick.

SubhanaAllah I'm worried about so many things.. The trip.. How she can manage with her clothing..? Will she know how to take care of herself, her phone, her pocket money..? (I think I will give her phone to one of the teachers and she can ask to use it when she needs it). Will she like the food (alhamdulilah, all halal!). Will she miss us too much..? Will she know how to sleep there..? . I know she makes new friends easily, so I'm pretty sure she will have a good time if she can just adjust to the situation..

She is such a big girl already, I can't believe how time flies.. She is my baby anyway..

Sisters, please make dua that she will have a safe trip and a good time!

May Allah bless and protect my little girl! Ameen

Like I live in a big city!

I was planning to write about something else today, but looks like i have no energy.. SubhanaAllah i spent almost two hours in a bus today! It's like we live in a large city lol.. Everything started when i got letter that they give me 10 times physiotherapy in a place on the other side of town.. It's about 15-16 km to go there. so, i've been there a couple of times. It's good mashaAllah. I'm happy that i get to go and may get some help for the pain.

So, in the same area there's a pharmacy, which is right next to the bus stop and inside. So I decided as i will be going there all the time, I will my paper for free medicine in that pharmancy. Then, a few days ago nader had his ears checked because he had infection in them a few weeks ago. He had a new infection and needed antibiotics. Alhamdulildh he didb't have pain.

So i was planning to take the medicine from the pharmacy the next day when I was supposed to have my next physiotherapy appointment. Then I was called that it was canceled.. so i thought that i'll take it on friday when my next appointment is.

One day before, today, i got a phone call. it was canceled again. so, now i had to go and get nader's medicine from a place which is 15 km away and it takes 50 min to get there. i had Ali here too, so i took the double stroller and let Ali and Deena sit. Nader said he can manage walking, and he was really brave and nice boy all day.

So we took a bus from the nearest bus stop and drove allll the way to the other side of the town. it took about 50 minutes :P . because it was so far i wanted to see what else there is. we got there and i decided to use the shops there too.. we usually never go in that area, so it was a good chance to check it out. On the way we saw a place where the people from church were giving out free food bags. We were offered to have some, but I didn't feel that I needed so I didn't wanna take from someone who needed it more. since this happened Deena was complaining that she needs cookies or she will die (the free food bags had cookies ) :P

I bought 3 full bags of food ;P subhanaAllah they were heavy.. It's good I had that double stroller. Ali was sitting on the other side and the other side was full of food :))) . We had also some potato chips, juice, chocolate, candy etc.. donjana has some party at school tomorrow so I needed to get her some goodies. Then we got nader's medicine and headed home. subhanaAllah, another 50 mins in a bus!. all the kids were quite nicely today! Alhamdulilah. Now i really need to rest! I feel like a truck that has been driving over me.

It's so funny. This town is not large, but still it takes like 100 mins to get to the other side of the town. standing in the bus, holding the heavy stroller really took all the juices outta me :P . i can't keep my eyes open and it's barely midnight..
