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.

Really should be cleaning house


Well, here I am still in my night clothes listening to the munchkins slowly turn into guacamole in front of cartoons. We did manage to get backpacks ready for school. I think we are all just enjoyed down time before the craziness of school begins.
I had to pull another snap from our summer holiday. I really need to get out in the water soon with my camera for some more 'region specific' shots. Clearly, today's snap is not from the region where I sit typing at the moment!
I spent a bit of time this morning reading the news (as usual). I came across an article that I felt did a readable job of 'summing' up some global happenings:
Now, a bit on the mundane side....
I'm sitting at my dining table as I work on this. The husband set up a lovely wi-fi network for us thus freeing us from our desks. The rest of the table is covered with jigsaw puzzle, junk mail, and well, just junk. I can look up and see out the windows which have several layers of dust on the outside. My patio plants have survived the summer; they add a touch of green to my dusty little outside sitting area. The high rise buildings beyond look to be in a bit of fog which is actually a dusty haze hanging over the area. But, the sun is shining, and it's only 98F out currently (according to my little thermometer). And, I am watching my sea stars slowly progress up the side of the aquarium in search of sustenance.
Ok. Now I really need to go clean house. Just felt like rambling on a bit about nothing.
Peace.
