Freeeezing!

Wow, it went from about 80 degrees to 46 degrees in 1 day!!  Eric and I went into Jerusalem today and we froze our tushies off.  We went to breakfast and then to pick up a gift we had ordered and then we left!  I kind of thought we would make it to the shuk like Eric wanted or at least to the Kotel but neither of us really wanted to stick around. 

I fell asleep in the car, I am zonked, and we came home and brought the cleaning man to the bus and then ran to Home Center to pick up some things we needed and then went to pick up Ben from school.

This afternoon I had to run to the doctor.  The way the kids’ shots work here is that they get their shots at school!  So they had sent something home to me telling me that they were going to give Talia her shots and that I had to sign off on it.  I remembered the doctor telling me that she wouldn’t need any shots here when we first got here and I first took her to the doctor so I wanted to make sure that I was correct.  So he looked at the info that I gave him and agreed that she wasn’t going to need any.

The next stop was to Talia’s school to sign Ben up for kindergarten next year!!  What a big boy!!  I signed him up and what a difference 6 months makes!  This time I knew what she was talking about and we could have an actual conversation and I wasn’t all nervous that I would miss something in translation.  I didn’t need Eric to come with me.  It was great.  The woman that I sign him up with kind of takes care of all the office stuff in Talia’s school.  She is wonderful and she was very helpful when we first moved here and Talia was having a hard time and hated school.  So now that Talia is doing great in school she felt she could tell me a story about how one day she felt so bad for Talia that she wanted to go home and cry!!!!!  I felt the same way in those days but I can’t believe she felt that way too.  I am SOOO glad that that part is over and done with and the kids are happy and Talia has figured things out.

After I finished there I dropped Talia off at home and Ben and I went to the makolet to pick up some things for dinner.

Then we came home and had dinner and we played a little and the kids are now all tucked in and Eric is at his rent-a-cop class or Mishmar Ezrachi class, as he likes to call it and then he is leaving to America tonight

I am in bed already at 8:30 and I am really hoping to get a good night of sleep in.  Last night Keren decided to sleep through the night for the first time since I can remember but UNFORTUNATELY, Ben peed in his bed and woke me up and I had to change him, his linens and calm him down since he was so upset about it.  Then his foot was hurting him and he asked me to get him the hot water bottle.  By the time I got back into bed I was wide awake and couldn’t fall asleep for a while.  So I am going to read a little and then hope that I fall asleep quickly and don’t get woken up too many times tonight.
