It’s getting real

The good news first:  Keren slept from 11 to 7 last night!!

The bad news second:  She was so tired and such a disaster today that I had to leave ulpan today 45 minutes early!  Oh well.

Today Ben had his cooking chug so I had a nice long afternoon until Talia came home at 2:45.  When she came home I gave her a snack and we did some homework and then I took her to her English chug.  After English she gets picked up by a friend and she goes to their house and then they go to art together.  So I don’t see her again until 5:30 on Tuesdays after I drop her off at 3:00.

This afternoon after Ben came home from his art chug (luckily he got a ride with someone since the people that were supposed to take him home forgot to take him home!) I took him to a show here on the yishuv.  He had a great time and really enjoyed it.  I asked him if he liked it and he said yes.  I asked him if he thought it was funny and he said yes.  Then I asked him if he understood it and said no!!  So funny.

Today I got a notice from Talia’s school that made the war seem very close.  They talked about the programs that they are doing in school, such as accepting the new students that came to school here b/c their schools are closed due to the war, the fact that they are saying  Tehillim for the soldiers who are at war and then they said that they are going to be practicing taking the kids into the bomb shelters.  Ahhhh!!!  So that was pretty scary.  My cousin said that when she comes home and talks about it that I shouldn’t make too much of it and I shouldn’t freak out.  I am glad that they sent the note home so that I could prepare myself for just that situation!  Now I can be calm when she comes home and asks me about it.  Yikes.  I also want to ask Ben’s school where their safe rooms are since I don’t know that they have them.  I am sure they do and I just haven’t noticed.  Chances are good that his school is a big safe room since it’s not all that big.

Anyway, made more cookies while the kids were in school today and Keren was sleeping.  Going to bring them to someone tomorrow who is then going to bring them to someone else who will take them to the soldiers.
