Just Breathe

Eric has started work ,the kids are in school and reality is starting to set in ,Don't get me wrong I am enjoying this new experience so much ,Everyday life how now become an adventure ! And that is fine with me ,I am up for it...

But their has been some small annoyances' : ( I can't figure out how to use my phone ,the voice mail instructions are in Hebrew ! My oven temp. is in celsius , all the driving distances are in kilometers ,the clocks are in military time - I have no Idea what the temperature is (weather temp.) because it to is in celsius ,

I have no idea what I have been eating because everything at the grocery stores is in Hebrew !!! I can't even figure out how to start my dish washer because the button symbols don't make any since.

Did you know you read Hebrew right to left ? I had forgotten- I don't think I was prepared for the language barrier ,or all the writing in hebrew Ex. Business cards,Business signs ,Grocery ads (Luckily all street signs are in Hebrew,Arabic and English)

You should have seen my reaction when I registered the boys for school : ) Here fill this out - I was handed a packet of paper for each child - Yes, all in Hebrew and No ,they do not have any english copies - OY VAY !
