Sunday

This morning Eric took Keren to the doctor to get the stuff that she STILL needs in order to get the immunization that she needs.  It’s still in the works but the doctor is being really helpful and if I don’t hear from him by Tuesday, I am supposed to call and see what’s going on.

School was good all around.  Talia didn’t have much to say about school and Ben came home saying “eizeh kef ba gan sheli”  how much fun is my gan.  It was so cute.

After school I went food shopping.  I’ve discovered that going on a Sunday is the best day b/c it is not crowded.  There is no pressure at the chicken and meat counter to remember all the hebrew words and spit them out in a hurry.  I was actually the only one at the counter at the time.  I had to buy a lot of new things that I’ve never bought in Israel and I had to call my cousin Avivit to help me.  For instance, I wanted to buy pastry puff dough, like the Pepperidge Farm stuff and I had no clue what I was looking for.  She talked me through it.  I also had to find some really frum hashgacha for certain things b/c I am having my grandmother’s brother and his wife over and they are Chabad and only eat a certain hechsher.  So that made it even more challenging. 

So I got through that and then came home.  Eric had picked Ben up from school and Talia had come home by herself (as usual) and they were eating their lunch already.

We left a little while later on a family trip to Ikea.  We were semi successful there.  They didn’t have a lot of the things that we needed for our closet and they didn’t have the drawers that we wanted to buy for Talia but now we have the model numbers and we are going to call them in a week and we are hoping there is some sort of mail order where they can just deliver it to us instead of us going to get it.  The kids had a GREAT time there.  We dropped them off in a big play area that they have there and they played for the hour.  They wanted to stay for longer but I am pretty sure that the woman told me that I had to come back in an hour for them.  It was also getting late and we had to get dinner there too.  We ate a yummy dinne and then hopped back into the car where we all fell asleep on the way home.  Well, Eric didn’t fall asleep, that would have been really bad since he was the driver.

I am zonked because last night I didn’t go to sleep until after midnight when I fed Keren.  They she woke up at 2 and again at 6.  It was like she was a newborn again.  It was horrible.  Eric is packing up  now to leave to the airport and I am going to go straight to sleep!!  No ulpan tomorrow so I can come straight home after I take the kids to school and maybe even rest a little.
