I have this weird system when I'm home alone. The first thing I do is fool around for a while and just chill for like half an hour or so. If there is nothing to do then I'll clean the kitchen because I like that the best. If there is still nothing to do then I'll clean the rest of the house. And after that I'll usually cook or make something sweet and then if I'm still home alone and still bored I'll do schoolwork. Well, today I was home alone with absolutly nothing to do.

My parents and sister didn't get up till I woke them up around 11. By the time they got up I had made my mom tea, my dad coffee, and made breakfast. They ate fast and then they were going to leave untill my brother came. When he finally left they left. My dad calls me when hes close to Salem and is like "so what exit do I take", I was like " I thought I told you to take jefferson exit?" and hes like "but I passed that".. and then I got blamed for his carelessness :P.

I've had an ok time alone I guess. I cleaned the kitchen, prayed dhuhr, cleaned the house, cooked kebsah and cake and kunnafah, and was planning on taking a nap when I get a call telling me that my brother (Adam) is coming from portland and wants to have dinner with us. I'm like aightt this is what I've made what do you want? he's like "I want indian food". I told him to go to evergreens he laughed and was like "come on man I'm not down there a lot anymore, please?" So now I'm supposed to be frying onions and stuff but I dont feel like it..

I usually like being home alone but today I just dont feel like it :(. I don't feel like being alone.. I've been really weird the past week or so, I keep having these really intense mood swings. I'll get really hyper sometimes, reallly tired others, really sad sometimes, super happy other times, its just too weird.. I've been a bit over stressed so maybe thats whats doing it to me.

I took today off of teaching too, well actually I told khala I couldnt make it wendsday and she said take thurs off too u can start again on Sunday. This morning the phone rang and it was Imams number and I didnt get to it fast enough so I called back and he answered so I got too shy to ask for khala and was like "is khadija there amu?" and he goes "shes asleep" and then I was like "oh, maybe it was khala that called?" and he goes "whos number is this?" (it sounds right in arabi :S) and I go "Ibrahim Ibrahim" and hes tone totally changes and hes like "ahhh that was me who called, is your dad there?" and I was like "hes asleep" and hes like "jazaakillah khair for the call Maryam, have him call me when he gets up" and I was like "haadir inshaAllah" and he goes "baarakAllahu feeki, assalamu 'alaikum".  I sat there going "why in the world did I call back???".. usualy I wouldnt have done that but I thought khala wanted me today couse UmmAQ has an appointment and cant teach..

anyways, my parents will be home soon.. I better go start on stuff.
