Here I am, reporting from the *other side*. Heh heh. I really haven't updated in a long time, have I? It's a new year, a new chance to fall behind on blog posts, sleep and housework.
It's funny how I blame my lack of blogging and sleep on sweeping, laundry, and dishes... but those things remain neglected as well. So where does the time go? Parks, crafts, phone calls to doctors and specialists. I guess.
Adi is getting new braces for her feet. It's almost her birthday, and we have a genetics appointment coming up. She is aging out of Early Intervention and will be going to school soon. We need to have a meeting in order to continue services, and that meeting has to take place in the ten available days before her birthday. Yikes.
Talk about birthdays, I had mine recently. Yay! The boys drew presents for me. Adi's present was bedtime weaning. Notice I said "BEDTIME" weaning, not night weaning. She still nurses when she wakes up at night, but now she falls asleep without nursing. But now she is sick. So she screamed for over an hour at bedtime.
Everyone in the family is sick, actually. The boys missed a day of school. I think Gedalya might be well enough to go tomorrow, but I myself am not well enough to judge his state of health.
A bunch of people I know started cooking for Rosh Hashana a week or so before it began. I thought they were nuts. I was planning to do the cooking Wednesday, erev Rosh Hashana, and some on R"H itself. But those friends of mine really got to me, and I just couldn't help but start cooking Tuesday night. And I didn't even have to cook on Rosh Hashana at all! (Except rubya, black eyes peas, which I totally forgot about.)
Karsi: leek
I left some fried leek to accompany gefilte fish, and the rest I made into a kugel.
It was really yum!
Silka: spinach patties
Some steamed veggies:
I made kreplach (no photo- meat in dough to put in soup) and had so much extra ground beef that I had defrosted. So I had to use it up. Hamburgers. Oh, were they delicious!
Um, a meat kugel? I had extra dough and extra meat. I was desperate! But the kids really liked it.
There was a lot more... salmon, soup, gefilte fish, FISH HEAD.
We recently found two snakes in our yard, bringing the summer's total to three.
It's officially fall...
Adi just came out of bed, so I leave you with a day in the park...
