A blog about what daily life was really like in the Middle East and the daily ramblings of an ex-pat mum. That's how I started the blog. We are now home, so I'm just going to continue with life here. I am a deeply committed Christian. I love to teach about and share my faith so you'll see some of that on the blog as well. Got a comment? Please feel to comment at the end of a post. May our Creator's peace be upon you.

And summer winds down to the end


Ah summer. Time for playing, friends, ice cream, and kicking back and enjoying life.

Now, it's time to begin the sweat over school uniforms. Uniforms should be a 'cheap' option, but I spent about $300 U.S. just to replace a few out grown bits. And, that doesn't even include the specific color shoes (which have been a NIGHTMARE to find even with shopping back in the home country). But, will administration listen or care even though all of us parents pay THEIR salaries? Frustrating.......
I found an article about a school dress code in the United States. The students who suffer the most through this kind of thing are the kids who would dress appropriately, but now have to shift their closets around:
My heart goes out to the teachers who are having to spend time focusing on clothes rather than teaching.
Peace.
