Beach Day!

The title of my post is kind of wishful thinking.  The weather is nice enough that we could have gone to the beach this afternoon.  The problem was that I had 2 appointments for Talia, one at the doctor to check out her ear and another at the optometrist to check out her eyes.  I also had a sick Keren.  Keren is not exactly sick, I am not sure what is wrong with her.  She has a very horse voice and she was in a lousy mood all day.  No fever or anything else, though.  So we didn’t go to the beach, again!  Maybe Friday…

This morning I did my shopping and the came home and gave Keren breakfast.  Eric went to ulpan, he only has about 3 classes left, and then I thought I would take Keren to the park.  We lasted about 5 minutes at the park.  She cried the whole time.  In the end i took her home and we watched The Wiggles and then i put her to sleep.

This afternoon, after getting 2 calls from Talia that she wanted to come home b/c her ear hurt her, I took Talia to the doctor to have him check out her ear.  It turns out that he didn’t see anything wrong with it.  So he told me to give her a decongestant and come back on Sunday if it’s no better.

Talia went to play at a friend’s house and Ben, Keren and I hung out at home playing outside and making challot and dinner.  At 5:30 I took the kids to get Talia’s eyes checked out b/c her maniac teacher thought she might need glasses.  After 2 seconds we saw that her eyes are fine.  She was able to read the whole chart easily.  So, I’ll have to write a note to her teacher letting her know she is a moron.  I wonder how to say moron in Hebrew…

Eric is off to the gym as I write this for his night time workout and I am headed to do the dishes and to bed.
