Together

We are no longer celebrating Hanukkah. I'm pretty glad it's over... It's been too long of a party. 8 nights of partying, never getting enough sleep and eating way too much!
The last night of Hanukkah is always the nicest, since all the candles are lit and it's such a pretty sight. For the last night we had our friends over, it was so much fun! I love having friends and family members over, it's so much fun to be with people you love and feel good with. To celebrate together, to eat together, drink together, play together, share conversations/feelings/emotions/theories/opinions, sometimes even cry together.




When I think about my life, It makes me feel so happy and safe knowing I have my precious family with me. Mikey, Lia, and Maya are the biggest loves of my life!
I was thinking about it today, and suddenly thought how scary could be waking up one morning finding out nothing of this ever really happened to me. I know, I probably sound crazy... Well I guess I'm not far from that. but man, I'm one fortunate crazy woman to have these three in my life!


Lia today showed some pretty amazing knowledge in the Hebrew Aleph Bet. She looked at a book with pictures of objects and each object had its word written underneath it. She asked me: אמא, כדור וכסא מתחילים בשני כ?
She was asking me if these 2 words started with the same letter that's called "kaf" (k/c sound), and she was right!!!! I was shocked! and so excited! That wasn't all, then she asked:
במה מתחילה מכונית? I replied: מ . So she asked: כמו מאיה?
She basically asked me in which letter this one word started with. The word means a car and it starts with the letter that is M in English, so she asked: Like Maya?

The girls are now so much into art projects, so we made here last night dreidel boxes that came out so cute!


Well, I'm exhausted. I have to stop eating so much, and thinking about it doesn't help...!
I still have a committee to go to tonight from the girls' school and I don't really feel like it. i eat too much, that gets me fat, which leads to not feeling comfortable enough wearing the clothes I have, which leads to not wanting to get out of the house...
Oh, I did something for my self today! I bought earrings! I haven't been wearing earrings since Lia was a baby because I felt it wasn't safe holding her, nursing her with them in my ears, so I took them off. Well, the girls are old enough now and they're getting so into the pretty princess thing that I thought it would make them happy to see me getting one step closer to being what they like so much ;)
Have a wonderful weekend!
Shabbat Shalom!
