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.

Starbucks and Feeling Mental


You know how there are lovely little cafes all over Europe? Well, here we have loads of lovely little cafes. Except, they are all inside shopping malls. Really, having them in malls is nice since you're out of the heat and the dust.

One of our faves here is Starbucks. There are several around that we like. This afternoon, Munchkin #1 and I flopped down at one to work on homework and 'take home' work for me. Both the Munchkins love to sit with a cool drink and a snack at a cafe and do their homework. Today's snap is of Munchkin #2 outside a cafe pretending to be a ghost using her napkin. Personally, I love the tongue sticking out! Good fun stuff....
I have days that I feel just mental. Not that I'm nuts, mind you, just that lately, I have gotten so little down time. The husband I and looked at each other the other day as we just sat on the sofa and said, "Wow. When was the last time we just sat together? When was the last time we had time to do this?" I'm looking forward to our winter holiday so I have time to sleep, and sit and just 'be'.
Peace.
