As I sit here listening to the birds...I feel the yearnings in my heart...my walk in faith, has been full of pitfalls the last years...there has been no gracefulness ...more like drunken stumbles...no I don't drink...but my walk is full of bruises. I want to pick my self up and to walk with grace, wisdom, and strength....and more importantly faith and hope. I have learned much in my stumbles and wish now to turn them into grace...Oh God grant me the serenity to change that which I can...and to accept that which I can't...and the wisdom to know the difference...<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">To Believe </span> <br />
To believe is to know that every<br />
day is a new beginning.<br />
It is to trust that miracles happen,<br />
and dreams really do come true. <br />
To believe is to see angels<br />
dancing among the clouds<br />
To know the wonder of a stardust sky<br />
and the wisdom of the man in the moon. <br />
To believe is to know the value<br />
of a nurturing heart,<br />
The innocence of a child's eyes and the<br />
beauty of an aging hand,<br />
for it is through their teachings we learn to love. <br />
To believe is to find the strength and<br />
courage that lies within us.<br />
When it is time to pick up<br />
the pieces and begin again. <br />
To believe is to know we are not alone,<br />
That life is a gift and this is our<br />
time to cherish it. <br />
To believe is to know that wonderful<br />
surprises are just waiting to happen,<br />
And all our hopes and dreams<br />
are within reach. <br />
If only we believe. <br />

To be honest, I believe my husband and I are completely on overload...with the move, business, and not knowing what will come next year for "J". She is only four and I can see that its going to be a interesting journey with the schools. I want to make everything perfect...you know like in "Leave it to Beaver"...or "Ozzy and Harriet" the shows are before my time, but they are so lovely...life seems so out of control now...I long for peace and quiet...a simple life...I'm not sure why this eludes me...I no I haven't always made the right or best decisions...but despite all my childhood dysfunctions...I do so try...did you know that approx. 90% of marriages involving special needs children, end in divorce, in the USA...Jasmine's case manager for school shared this bit of info...when I look at this number...WOW inspite of everything, my husband and I are holding on...some days aren't as good as others, but I figure this to be true with all marriages...and hey we have alot of extra stress. Please understand I don't mean "J" is extra stress...we want to take good care of her and provide for her...plan for her future...we worry about when we aren't here...I try to take one day at a time, but I don't know how. How does one walk in faith? What if you are making the wrong decisions, by faith? Not meaning to...you just don't know what to do....How do you walk by faith? What do you do about the decisions you have to make?<br />
<br />
Some words of advice needed...guidance wanted...Proud Mumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16408088916311065931noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276909919131316983.post-488735889063030082012-02-08T08:26:00.000-08:002012-02-08T08:26:35.516-08:00Hassouneh Going OnsSo how are you guys doing? Moi, well ....besides feeling cheated from winter and ogling other peoples snow :)...in our home we are moving, birthday"g" it up, losing weight, making business decisions, and praying all the above turns out good. <br />
<br />
"J" turned 4 recently...hard to believe my little baby is so big..."M" turns 2 soon...she to is growing up...we celebrated with "gannie" and "pawpaw" this past weekend. We had a wonderful time with my parents...we were able to enjoy the park...since winter has never arrived here...I know many of you might think I'm mad...but I really enjoy the snow, cold, and rain...I love the changes in seasons...all four bring such glorious feelings...<br />
<br />
As far as weight loss, well I'm embarrassed to say that after four years of two children, many changes, and lot of stress my weight had plummeted out of control. I'm not obese, but could become so. I have joined Weight Watchers and I'm learning to control my "SUGAR" cravings...really I believe the more stressed I am...the more sugar I want...so I switched to Stevia...and portion control...planning....lots of veggies and fruits...and now I'm 7lbs lighter...you heard me 7 lbs in one week....actually I'm feeling alot better and don't seem to be having sugar cravings...I do need all of your prayers and good karma sent my way...I love food. Not processed junk...I like good wholesome foods...portion control though...portion control...<br />
<br />
On to business...well....I don't want to go to much in to detail...but pray and send lots of good karma this adventure works out for our family. Please:)<br />
<br />
Now on to moving...yes again we find ourselves changing places..."J" needs a school that can meet her needs...ie...hearing and vision impairment, alot of development delays...so we have to change counties...we decide to rent for now, as there are know schools for the blind here, so we will see what comes next...breath...patience...<br />
<br />
Anyway I hope you all have a lovely day...and many good blessings are being sent your way..<br />
<br />

Honestly the winter average temp...65 degrees F. Have I ever told you ...I adore the snow...and actually love the rain, as well. Its lovely and gives you this sense of comfort...you have an excuse to linger in your PJ's...to take the day slowly...playing out ever second...I say this all "choked Up" I want some snow...please...big flakes...full of nothing but happiness...Oh Lord, if you could so find time ....of course I know you are busy with the Middle East Crisis, Elections , sickness, death, disease and destruction....in between there though....I would really appreciate some of the cold, white, fluffy drops from heaven...Proud Mumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16408088916311065931noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276909919131316983.post-3423595647212169542012-02-02T17:39:00.000-08:002012-02-02T17:39:41.431-08:00Holding Ones Breath...I haven't been blogging lately...many changes, possible opportunites, motherhood, wife, and housekeeper are keeping me busy...my family and I have a wonderful opportunity to bring alot of stablility to our life...requesting all prayers, good thoughts, good karma, and all around good vibes, please send our way...this would go along way to making life breathable, after the last 4 years we really need this...short post I know...but so important!!! <br />
<br />
ThanksProud Mumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16408088916311065931noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276909919131316983.post-4884041136934201182012-01-23T18:16:00.000-08:002012-01-23T18:21:28.349-08:00Approaching "4" day twoI have been reminiscing today...looking at pictures...thinking...feeling... remembering the good, bad, and ugly...When I think back to everything...I really don't know how we made it through...it is nothing short of a miracle...I believe in miracles...always have...sometimes the unexpected happens for no reason at all...and life is never the same, again. When I think back to all the impossible situations, we have found ourselves in...it is surreal. So much has been lost over the last years... So where do we go from here...right now...I can't tell you...I don't know.<br />
<br />
I can tell you this...<br />
<br />
I had an epiphany, today...I was talking with "M" and watching "J" try to climb onto the table for the 100th time...and it dawned on me ...that when I'm in the moment...really in the moment...or present...I'm happy...really happy...it is when I venture out and try to put the puzzle of our future together...that I'm sad...because we don't have all the pieces...no fault, no blame, no pity...just all the pieces aren't available, right now. <br />
<br />
So here is to living in the moment, placing no blame, and feeling no pity...accepting this is where we are right now...and I choose to be happy ...right now...<br />
<br />
Happy "early" Birthday "J"<br />

She will soon be four years old. Sometimes it feels like yesterday and other times like a century ago...as I have said before..."J" was born at 23 to 25 weeks weighing 420grams...she was a biggin:) My baby and I spent a year and a half in various NICUs...she wanted to try out as many as she could...she was trying to find the most comfortable beds...all joking aside though...we were fighting for her life. The trach was the turning point for "J"...my baby hated the ventilator...after she got her trach, "J" really started to improve...much to the doctors dismay...the trach was only for palliative care...meaning she would die...but I had told them at the beginning "I"M NOT LEAVING HERE WITHOUT MY BABY"...I know they were thinking..."Oh God...we have a live wire...call the patty wagon"...<br />
<br />
I could pretend and say everything turned out GREAT...well I don't know about great...but life is good and sometimes painful. This is an honest blog...okay...I'm grateful for my "J"...I wished though life wasn't so hard for her....I wish she could talk...I wish she could eat like everyone else...I wish... I understood... what she sees and hears...(hearing has been an ongoing debate) I wish... I knew what she understood....I wish... I was always patient...I wish... are your ready....I wish, want, and need to make everything okay...I want to fix everything...I want to make her all better and I don't know how to accept that there is a limit to all better...how am I going to keep her safe?...how is she going to learn?...who is going to take care of her when, my husband and I are gone?...who is going to love her, like we do? I pray so hard for a long...long...long life...so I can take care of my "J"...she's my perfect baby...<br />
<br />
I don't have the answers to these questions...and I pray that guidance comes each and every day...you know in the hospital ....I saw such wonderful parents ...praying so hard for their little ones to survive...many didn't...many...actually alot...do I believe GOD hears prayers...If I say yes...then was GOD not listening to these wonderful people?...If I say no...why is my "J" here?...so I think maybe there might be something to destiny...we are heard, but everyone has a road map already...or at least a guide...that doesn't mean we become lazy and not participate...it just means ....there is something to this destiny thing...because I will tell you this...I'm not anymore deserving of having my "J" than those wonderful people were...and "J" is precious, but so was everyone of those little ones...I'm grateful "Js" road map included us being here ....and when I get down...I do remember that her road map could have read something totally different...or it could have read nothing at all...<br />
<br />
Namaste<br />
<br />
Happy Birthday (one week ahead of time) "J"...you are loved, adored, and cherished!!!!!<br />

I'm really enjoying and feeling better from my new favorite exercise...I'm now up to 24 minutes...anyone new to meditation knows, learning to control ones thoughts, is very challenging at first....<br />
<br />
I'm continuing to craft, when my little darlings allow:) I hope all is good, in your area of the world...<br />

Strolling...the weather here has been fantastic. We have really been soaking up some Vitamin D:) Yesterday "M" and I strolled to the park for some sun...("J" was at school) she loves playing about on the slides...when it was time to leave...OMG she proceeded to lay down on the ground and cry/ scream...let me say, horrified I was...but I sat down and waited for her to finish "expressing"herself....in the hopes she would be able to collect herself, in time for us to pick up "J"...have I mentioned she is "almost" two...<br />
<br />
Today is drizzly here, so we are going to relax. I love rainy days, I feel justifiable in laying about...truly I have been feeling quite poorly today...sniff, cough, blow...tis the order of my day:)<br />

How are you doing? I hope all is well, in your corner of the world. Life is good here in the lowcountry...an abundance of sunshine and nice temperatures~(maybe next week, we will have a Arctic blast...the weather is unpredictable of late...)<br />
<br />
<br />
"M" and I spent Friday mucking about at the "NEW" park...this is one of my favorite areas...dolphins swim right up to the boats, undeterred by people...We ate lunch enjoying the beautiful weather, watching the shrimpers...and inhaling the lovely sea air...The more time outside I spend, the less stressed and frustrated I feel.<br />
<br />
Saturday was my first Crocheting class...we met at a lovely - quaint cafe...enjoying tea and partaking of all crocheting knowledge...I definitely was all thumbs at first...assured by "this is normal for first timers"...I pressed on...I'm starting to feel at ease, now...and I love it...there is so much I want to learn...knitting, embroidery, needlepoint...time...I need lots of time...<br />
<br />
<br />
Today (Sunday) is our lazy day...brunch was served...potatoes and onions with eggs, Lebna with EVOO ( extra virgin Olive oil), Chicken sausage with apples and maple, Bread with cream cheese and honey, and as always OLIVES!!!! You can never have to many olives. Our plans for the remainder of today...enjoy the weather, smell fresh flowers, and coupon...save save save... and of course Crocheting, if my little ones allow:)<br />

<br />
I hope your day has been good...filled with warmth and laughter. We have had a terrific day...filled with Pulmonary Doctors, lunch with dad, and the park....it is a beautiful day here in the lowcountry...sunny and cool...mild blistery...The low country isn't my home by birth...more by marriage...but I have really grown to love my hometown!!! Lots of parks, sunshine, beach, and history...my goodness where else would one want to be? For all of you who know me...finding home has been a little bit of a challenge...my parents swore that I had gypsy blood...well I do so love to travel...I love me some Europe...but here is my home...<br />
<br />
<br />
Okay first Pulmonary...a little history..."J" was born between 23 to 25 weeks...she weighted less than a pound...like 420 grams...lost down to 360grams...we spent a year and half in the NICU...this was primarily because of lung development...let me specify lack of lung development... and the Vent is life saving, however it remodels the lungs...so almost 4 years later...minus trachs, oxygen, lung meds, and vents...we are doing alright kid. "J" is no longer on any meds!!!! Yea...let me tell you when we first brought her home...I swear the house look like a ICU dept...my husband looked at me and said, "we can't do this..." we did though...thanks to many people and the good Lord! Todays follow up excellent...we will see them again in 6 months!!! Yippee!<br />
<br />
After the success of the doctor...we went and had lunch with daddy...aka BABA...the girls love spending time with there father...which is a rarety from working all the time...but you do what you have to, right?<br />
<br />
After lunch we decided with such a beautiful day...the park was in order...so playtime on!!!!<br />

Some days I love the fresh crisp morning air and other days I just want to lay about in bed snuggled in my blankets...especially right now with temperatures at 19F in the am. The rest of the day is filled with business, cleaning, cooking, and school runs. I try to squeak out some me time...but that doesn't happen very often...by 7:30pm I'm ready for bed...does that mean I'm old?<br />
<br />
Lately I have been a little stressed too...my soon to be 2 year old...doesn't listen at all. And "J" ( my SNC...AKA Special Needs Child) has started hitting???? I don't know why...maybe she is frustrated because at almost 4 years old ...she can't talk...she just started walking this year...and "M" imitates "J" alot these days...which can become tiresome...however we will work our way through these tough times...please God give me patience...<br />
<br />
I'm looking forward to Saturday...this will be some me time...(first in oh I don't know ...4 years) I'm going to take a crochet class...let me tell you how excited I am...there are some really great blogs about crocheting...talented ladies ...so I want to give it a go...wish me luck.<br />
<br />
Here are a couple of pics of our day...I hope you enjoy...after taking"J" to school ...me and "M" started the day with a walk...<br />

Goodnight and sleep tight...my your dreams be filled with sweets:)Proud Mumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16408088916311065931noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276909919131316983.post-77504003662556408112012-01-03T16:17:00.000-08:002012-01-03T16:17:19.726-08:00Red Tuesday-Red YearI believe my theme for this year is....RED...I love the color red...Don't you? Inspiring, rich, and festive...red...and it is the color of LOVE! So I have decided to accent my kitchen and living room with red...really the colors of autumn are breathtaking...in the past I haven't exactly been a "color" person...I would say more blah...one of my "aspirations" this year, is to be more fashion forward...I, nor my home, want to look frumpy anymore...COLOR is good!!!<br />
<br />
Another "aspiration" this year (two of many) is to eat at home...beside the occasionally dinner out...and I do mean occasional...it is healthier and much more pocket friendly...managing expenses closely another 2012 aspiration (third is a charm)...honestly I like keeping track of money!!! It is exciting to see where you can cut cost...<br />
<br />
So Red, healthy, and expense tracking...2012 sure may prove to be exciting...I hope!<br />

we enjoyed the feel of the sun, the smell of the flowers, and laughing with one another!!! I hope and pray all your days of 2012 are filled with warmth, flowers, and laughter...Proud Mumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16408088916311065931noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276909919131316983.post-63274458442914458242011-12-30T16:12:00.000-08:002011-12-30T18:12:50.640-08:00QuietSo yesterday..mm...rough day. Today has been a quiet day, meaning a good day. Quietness is sorely underrated in our modern world...I appreciate technology, but I do so love to hear the birds singing and watching the squirrels play...free therapy!<br />
<br />
So the agenda at the Hassouneh house > changes!!! and I mean CHANGES!!! Changes to help alleviate some tedious frustrations. (Please any help where this is concerned no matter how tedious is appreciated) Schedules, organization, and simplicity really are this moms best friend. I'm a true believer in schedules, organization, and minimal!!! Why oh why would you want so many items to clean? Not me...No hoarding allowed here...go a few houses over, please. But the BIGGEST change...are you ready...LESS TV. One of the first things I did in the am, was turn on the BOOB tube...yes I said BOOB tube...it was on all day I mean ALL DAY! I don't know how ...but it sucks you in...your memorised into the land of nothingness. While, I will admit that there are times, this is necessary...12 plus hours though...extreme...please don't misunderstand I did mange to do other things ...but the TV was always there...lurking in the background...calling my name...come...come....waste away in my vortex of craziness, your own house obviously isn't crazy enough....come. So now I've been successful this week in not turning the TV on until 6:30pm or 7pm...What do think? will it last? Yes I say YES! We can do this...we really aren't couch potatoes in this family...(in a small voice) are we? No!<br />
<br />
So today we watched the squirrels for real, not on telly. We colored, crafted, and assembled our tax deductions for 2011..."J" and "M" was so excited about the taxes:) and ate...that is another issue for another day! <br />

I could tell you I don't know why, but truth be told I at least know part of the reason. Did I ever tell you about my "J"? She is the best little lady...happy no matter what is going on with her health, or her development. I have never met anyone as strong, as her. I love her so much...many times lately my patience have been short...this isn't fair to her...I love her...my heart breaks into sometimes...little pieces scattered everywhere. I don't know what she understands...do you know how hard that is? I don't know what the future holds, much less tomorrow...I'm scared...scared...<br />
<br />
School has been one recent challenge. We don't know if she will need to attend a school for the deaf and blind later...that requires us to move, again. Waiting is our game plan...we have become use to this...well not really, but what else can you do? <br />
<br />
Anyway I read a blog post yesterday, by a fab lady named Dana at Uncommon Sense...great blog...she talked about raising a special needs child...what it takes personally, emotionally, and financially...the worry over insurance...the strain of being a mom, therapist organizer, advocate...and whatever role else is required at that moment...and then your emotions...WOW...some days I'm okay...others days find sadness, confusion, stress...you may be sad one second...then maybe she made a new noise and your ecstatic...hanging onto any hope that exists...<br />
<br />
Please don't think I'm feeling sorry for myself...we will EXCEL..."J" is the best...this I know without a single doubt....<br />

Today we started our morning with a brisk walk. The chilly air, the sun peeking through the clouds, and the whispers of the leaves...oh sweet heaven on earth. Nature...what a gift to be shared...<br />

As the rain pitter patters outside...I'm filled with sadness that already Christmas 2011 has come and is leaving...As we enter 2012 may all your dreams, wishes, and needs be fulfilled. Hold those you love close and make each day a blessing. <br />
