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.

Summer Dreaming and Happy Father's Day!

First, Happy Father's Day to those who celebrate it today.  See you in a few days, Dad!

Second, What I'm day-dreaming about:

1. A great new pediatric rheumatologist in town - appointment is set for early this week.

2. crisp evening air

3. bunny rabbits nibbling on clover outside my bedroom window

4. shopping malls where I can actually afford to buy stuff

5.  wearing shorts, scummy t-shirt and hiking boots to run errands

6. other women not thinking I'm some kind of freak for wearing shorts, scummy t-shirt and hiking boots to run errands

7. Mountains of breakfast foods that are familiar AND made at my fave breakfast restaurant

8. basic courtesies like holding a door open for a complete stranger AND saying 'Good morning'

9. no dust

10. sleeping for three days straight unless I'm out roaming around in the woods

I do enjoy living in this exotic environment, but lately the little things that put me on edge have really been piling up. It has been a hard year to enjoy the good stuff about being out here in the sand.  I'm hoping a few days/weeks back in the home country will help give me a much needed attitude readjustment. 

Peace.
