I am back

Hi
I am back to my weblog. I was too busy to write anything here.
I went to Iran on October 1st and I came back to Canada on November 19th. I wnet to stay in Iran but I came back for the citizenship. To become the citizen of the country that I am leaving ...
Maryam is in Iran and she enjoyed staying there a lot. Amin is with me. We miss her a lot these days.
I go shopping some days and try to find something nice for her.
I also watch tv a lot and read a lot.
We went to the movie Australia, it was OK.

I like iran much more than here and I am counting the days to go back again.

IRAN

I am going back to Iran, in two weeks.
To be honest I cant believe it myself. It is similar to when I was coming to Canada. I had strange feelings. Now again I have different feelings, mostly happy, hopefull,...
I dont have a lot of things to loose in Canada. If I had, maybe I was depressed.
But when I think I realise as I did not work for the last two years and I was concerned mostly about my family, so what do I loose? nothing really.
I had five interviews during last year and I could not get one damn job out of these five. I have started to seriously believe that my hijab is keeping me unsuccessfull for hunting a job. I dont like this fact but it is a reality. Although it is supposedly a free society and everything should be the same for different people and and different cultures, but you will see that this is not exactly true.

I have a short time to prepare for my BIG move.

Words

Oh, It is a long time I have not written anything. I guess because my mother in law came to Canada for 50 days and I was busy and didnt feel up to write something.

We went to a few trips that was very fun. Niagara falls, Toronto and Ottawa.
Summer is really beautiful in Canada.

Amin is walking properly now and he also speaks a few words like maman baba bah bah ,Amin (his own name).
He immitates Maryam a lot and he is much more happy when Maryam is around him to paly,
although Maryam loves to go to daycare, her Teddy Bear Classroom.

Not a very good week

It is 20th of May.
There was a lot of bad news last week, a tornado in Burme, an earthquake in China
in Burme 78000 people died and in China 50000 till now.

Amin had a horrible cold last week too.
Ear infection, Eye infection, nonstop Fever.
Thank God I am alive and I dont work and I could keep on nursing him.

Maryam is going to Daycare and she is talking a lot with me and her father. She is very reasonable and she remembers every single sentence that I tell her at this age. So I have to be carefull. I say something to her and tomorrow she is telling me the same thing.
If I talk about fishing she wants to go fishing, If I talk about Iran she wants to go to Iran although she does not know exactly where is Iran.

And another funny thing, She likes the stuff that is advertised on the tv too.
like chocolates, potato chips and other junk foods.

Maryam and Flowers


I am reading a book about Parenting and it really helped me. It is very amazing how much sometimes a book can help.

It is very beautiful now in Montreal after those months of snow.


This is a photo I got from Maryam in a street that is very close to our house.
Look how cute she is with these flowers that she loves. When 'I look at this photo I think God you are so generous to us and we still want more..!

walk

I went for a long walk today. I went to the library to get some new books for Maryam. I also searched Jean Coutou, Pharmaprix and Maxi to see if there is anything on sale that we need and so I came back home with Amin's stroller full of stuff.
I bought Lysol disinfecting tissues from Maxi. It is called Lysol 4 in 1. It is really 4 in 1. It is the best name for it. I recommend it strongly.

sun and son

Happy New Year
Happy 13 be dar
I did not write sooner because it was so cold here that it blew away all of my feelings for spring. Now, It is better. It is not snowing anymore, It is more rain and wind and sun, sun.
Amin is getting bigger and bigger, my big little son, son. :)
Amin started to go to daycare from this week. He was not very comfortable the first day, he is attached to me, but I am sure he will get used to it. This year we had a very good and new surprise from our families, something from my Parents and Keyvans parents for all of us.Guess what?
So I am happy and I think this year would be a very nice year hopefully.

Black, White

In the morning, I was fast sleeping. I heard a lot of noise. I got up and saw many birds on the tree behind my room. The tree has no leaves on it, it is winter time. just the tree and the black crows ,many of them maybe 50, or 60, all shouting in the silence of the dawn.
I got scared. So scared and so black. I loved that tree, I think thats my tree, and I did not want those crew on it.

In the afternoon I looked at the same tree, no crow anymore, there is just white snow now ,a tender and beautiful snow. I feel better now.
Here I am in Maryams room behind the compuetr , trying to write a code in VXML.
It is pretty hard for me to work at home these days. There were days that I could spend whole day writing codes and testing them at home but not anymore. It seems that the atmosphere of our home is changed. Our rooms were once full of papers and books and disks and …
Now it is full of toys and children’s puzzles and story books and …

I went to a job interview last week and I ended up writing a game for them. A game which is called Bulls and Cows

Fog in Montreal, snow in Iran

Today I understood what a real Fog is, and I have to say It is beautiful in its own strange way.
K1 found his wallet in our car and thats a good news.
My parents are back from hajj and they say that they miss us a lot and they wish we were there these days. Do you know if you want to go hajj from Iran you have to register and then you have to wait for 15 years?!

I collected Amin's old clothes today and I realized how much he has grown, I dont know what to do with these clothes as I dont want to have any more children at least for the next 10 years and after that I am sure I would be too old to get pregnant again. I am happy that I have two kids, they are real friends and they love each other.

I was listening to the news podcast from BBC today and there was a report from Iran about the snow in different cities and I got upset from the fact that people could not express themselves and their feellings to the interviewer well, although they were speaking in Farsi their mother tongue. Is it because they are shy or maybe not very educated or maybe they are used to censur themselves.

2008

Today is Tuesday and the first day of year 2008.
Actually I got have very depressed these days because you see all people are celebrating christmas and new year and ... it is not your christmas and your new year.
And it is cold now, we can not go out very much. The best was if I could go to Iran for a month or so. we will see,... maybe I go aftre all.

Amin has got 2 teeth now and he is eating well. He loves papers.
Maryam is talking farsi more now that she does not go to daycare. K1 lost his wallet last night. I hope someone returns it to him. It costs a lot with all the credit cards and driver license in it.
