I Am Ok

One of my dearest friends wrote me wondering if I was ok because there wasn't a blog for two days :)  I really love all of my friends and readers for enjoying it and looking forward to it daily.  On Friday I had written it in advance knowing my day would be nuts, but didn't publish it because I wanted to put a specific picture that I had to scan and insert once I got home.  The getting home was for minutes, and before my final class of the day I literally passed out. My daughter was super fussy, I handed her to my brother in law and told him I needed to sleep.  We were invited for the first night of Shavuot, and knew we would not get home before midnight, and we got home exactly at midnight.  I told my kids it was important to sleep, my oldest had a very long nap, my baby slept with me.  I told my husband to wake me up half hour before 6pm class, he passed out too, so luckily I woke up ten to six, my work is 5 minutes away.  I couldn't find my car keys, later I learned my brother in law borrowed the car and took my daughter with him, who slept in the car for half an hour.  Thank God I made it to class only 5 minutes late with the other car which was low on gas.  I walked into the class with a sleepy face and told them I just woke up, and everybody laughed :)  I thought it was more important for me to be there than have a sub and do the class anyway even though our holiday started around 7:45pm, and I would get home around 7:10pm.   It has been wonderful, all of the Jewish people all over the world gather to hear the reading of the ten commandments, and celebrate with everything dairy, my kids loved the ice cream and everyone loves the cheesecake.

Today I stayed home and slept with the baby and my husband took the kids to the final day of the holiday to the synagogue.

We are planning our big summer trip, have family coming to visit all of next week.  I am working on a new website and a bio for my recurring topic of "Taking Care of Mama."  I am excited for so much amazingness going on, but see the clock ticking.  The kids school ends mid June and we are off to our cross country adventure.  So excited to visit friends and family and just be on the road for a while away from it all, the kids loved it last summer, and now that they are older, they will remember it for life.

I sincerely apologize for missing a blog day, and in that blog I was explaining how I would not blog for a day due to the holiday.  I miss it as much as you do, trust me :)  Thank you for all of your comments and for all of your love.

I kept on trying to get them to smile at the same time, these are their "I don't want to" faces :)
