It has been a busy week

Wow. Has this week been busy. The husband has been in and out of Saudi, in and out of Oman and I've been busy with my work. The munchkins have been busy with their activities (and Mum with all the driving!). Plus, I thought I'd finished all my 'extra work', but this week I picked up a bit more extra! My skills have been in demand!

I keep trying to get into town to an area called Satwa to go buy an aquarium. But, after getting home from our place of prayer today, the husband and I both crashed out asleep for almost 4 hours. Like I said, it's been a busy week.

Last weekend, Munchkin #1 and I went and explored some new territory. The husband was in Saudi, and Munchkin #2 had a birthday party to go to on the edge of a really big city here. Munchkin #1 and I had loads of fun roaming around. And I'm definitely more confident driving here. But, having the husband's big new SUV helped. I love my 'vehicle of choice,' but the A.C. is currently out in my car making driving more a challenge (it's 8:30pm and it's still 95F outside).

I've been pricing plane tickets for travel in my home country once I get there this summer. I am so ready to see my friends and my family. But, wow. What a year it has been. I can't believe I've been out of the country for a year now. And, we just don't know how many more years we'll be here.

I'm planning on only working part time when we return from our extended summer holiday (filling in where I'm needed). I'll actually make about the same amount of money, I think it will be a better use of my skills, and I can still do my extra work 'after work' that I take on as I'm needed. Plus, when the husband travels, I'll be more available to cook meals and clean. Right now, the husband and I really split the work that needs to be done here at our home - it's the only way we all stay fed with our busy work schedules.

And, on a totally different subject....the video posted is of the munchkins swimming/chasing schools of little fish. Great fun.

Peace.
