monday september 20, 2010

so easy..even a child could do it...unless they are sitting on the couch watching football....


the jewish holidays are the most wonderful time of year...we get together with family and friends(or friends that we like more than our family)..we eat good food(noodles and chicken nuggets)...we go to synagogue for meaningful prayer services and enlightening speeches(or hear the latest non-gossip from our neighbor, because gossiping would be bad....)...we joyously spend lots of time, energy and money at various supermarkets, butchers, fruit stores and etc....it really is a special time.

especially the whole hut/sukkah building thing. there have been times when i make fun of husband #1, but this time of year...well, this time of year is when we do our best non-communicating. god has blessed me with three sons...all of whom seem to take after their father...my fault, i know, but hopefully we will work on changing that. thank god for our friend, our friend with four daughters, who comes to our house every year to put up our sukkah. one year, husband #1 thought he would "woo" me by actually PAYING some kids to do it...that was a nightmare. more than a nightmare...and then our friend had to come anyway to fix the mess.....but, i won't be getting into the building part anymore...

yesterday's weather was beautiful. it is supposed to be like that all week. this might only be a problem because while trying to decorate the sukkah, it was soo hot in there that either i was having the greatest hottest hot flash of all time, or, i am going to be serving my company ice cream, ices and just plain ice HOLY COW WAS IT HOT IN THERE!!!!!!!!! i had to stop decorating, which was a good thing because, frankly, my sukkah decorating totally sucks...i thought i would be clever and use the leftover animals from son #1's bar mitza..but it ended up looking like a slaughterhouse in there....painfully horrible...i will not be winning any decorating awards this year(or any year, for that matter) but son #2 promised me we would make chains this week.....and i have fond memories of staying up late with my brother and making those same chains because our parents would let us watch tv that night....good times...

no more babbling...enjoy the holidays

happy monday...
