Basically because I CAN @esh7ayaati - Tumblr Blog

Lamb. Lamb calms my soul.

Made kabsa, fucked up the rice, but it's still damn delicious

Honestly I just want to be appreciated.

I feel like it's not that big of an ask.

I’m going to a catholic sanctuary to visit the Sorrowful Mother, Mary Mother of Jesus.

One of the things I love being about being Shia, is that I can be unashamed of finding peace at the feet of Mary no matter where she is being venerated.

Parenting is laying in your own bed after bed time and eating nutella

Happy birthday!!

Thank you!

It's my birthday today and I'm baby free. I won't see her until tomorrow after work and I have so much guilt. I know I should enjoy myself but fuck. I fee like I'm abandoning her just to have fun.

Parenting alone is so hard but I love her so much.

She's such. a goofball even when she's throwing a tantrum or refusing to eat.

The internet being shut off in Baghdad is infuriating. I just want to talk to my husband dammit.

My kid needs to hear her dad

How do I survive 3 weeks alone while my husband is gone?

I just googled how to use linked in because I need an adultier adult

I left this platform because I felt like I didn’t belong anymore as a mom.

but fuck that. I deserve to be where I feel comfortable.

My family has come a long way. I’m so proud of them.

Apparently cheerios go in the sheep basket.

i’m glad i know.

I’m trying to find my way again. I need a stepping stone back onto the path. It’s covered in moss and I keep slipping.

People close to me are so critical. Like, if you did something nice, don’t make it into a criticism of me.

A year into motherhood, I’ve learned that only my daughter’s life is more important than my mental health, but also that I can’t be a mother to her if I don’t take care of myself.

I’ve learned that I need to forgive myself and demand forgiveness from those around me when I don’t live up to their standards. I am not perfect, and I don’t keep a perfect house, but we are fed, clean, and happy.

Religious practice is where I’ve really fallen. I want to so badly, but I don’t know how to balance all of these obligations.

Hi friends, how’s it been, who’s still on here?
