A Day in Bnei Brak

.
Hi all,

I have been away. I had to go into a neighborhood called Bnei Brak for a wedding. Its one hour away from Jerusalem, where I live.

Though I tried to plan and pack as best I can, with children life is just soooo sooo different. There is no choice but to stop and smell the roses or ......suffocate! lol.

What I had hoped to be a rush to get to the wedding on time, turned into a wonderful scenic trip across Israel. In order for me not to lose my temper on them, we packed slowly, they would get to the bags and somehow find a way to lose them. Or open them up and grab and run with something. I'd repack. Dress the kids up. Convince little Abraham that he doesn't need a dress even though his sisters have one. Haul them all to the bus station. Thank God my sister came with us. Try to find the hotel (cause there was no way I was going to haul them all back on the same day- too tiring!).

*whew!* It was a job.

But the fun part began once we were at the hotel. Everyone took showers, smelled great, decked ourselves out for the wedding and went out and put our best foot forward. Fun times!

Anyway, that's why I had been away for a day.
