Holidays at an end!
Well, I am finally coming to the end of my school holiday. Sadly I only get to spend a few days with the girls.
For the last few days I have felt like a Balebuste (Yiddish expression meaning excellent homemaker!) I have cleaned the house many times a day (because I can). I have cooked and prepared the Seder meal (passover meal) and cared for my husband, children and grandaughter. (I even managed some minor sewing repairs).
I love the traditions of the Jewish festivals and enjoyed celebrating Seder night with the family. The only thing that clouded the evening was the fact that my dear mother-in-law was not with us. Thursday week ago she fell and broke her hip and is now in Barnett General Hospital. She was not good tonight when we visited and this makes me feel very sad.
