'took me a couple of days to update my blog once again - sorry.
In return there're gonna be a lot of pictures for you guys! ;-)

Wednesday, which was my 44th day in the US now, was the day I got in to a car crash for the first time (or at least - me being involved in a car accident and even driving the involved car). You don't have to worry, there was nothing serious 'bout it and it even was not my fault.
Happened that way: I was on my way back to Karate school with Y.     H. found out that this parental meeting was the day after in the last minute and herefore we jumped in the car, went home, I got changed and we were just on the way back. We were on a minor road which leads to Main Street (/Route 1) and just normally kept driving. Then suddenly a white car (full of prob. 17 year-old guys) dashed contrary to us. Just because they were too fast and they got into our lane, there was a sudden BOOM! and the rearview mirror was folded and broken in pieces. I stopped on the right and called H. 'cause I was so shocked and anxious that I didn't dare to call the Police. H. tried to calm me down and told me just to go to Karate school if I wouldn't mind.So I slowly drove to Karate school but still was pretty shocked. Kickboxing class was therefore the best way to let everything out. Btw. the guys hit and run.

result:

 


Afterwards and even the day after I've been still in a bad mood. Just because I was the driver; the car is damaged and I even had Yoni in the back. H. just keeps tellin' me that I don't have to worry!


On Thursday there was nothing special actually. I think.    
Just the same schedule as always and at night I had to put the children in their bed by myself since there was this parental meeting. Anyways it worked out fine. We were laying on the floor, cuddling, reading some stories 'bout fairies; prayed a prayer - everyone had a special one, gave us good-night kisses and that's it. No screaming, no crying no getting up and stuff. 'just felt good!

Oh and I forgot to say. There is a teacher from DSNY who asked me whether I could give private tutoring in French to her  daughter. I first thought thas this might be pretty cool but actually I don't think I wanna spend my free time to other people especially when it means that there'll be another schedule to me. whatever.

Today the children had piano lessons. I so love their musical school. I really need to take a picture then you guys will understand why. Anyways. They got a new teacher, J. , who is pretty young. Maybe as old as I am? Whatever, I'm glad he teaches them now 'cause they're now more open-minded and not afraid anymore. When M. taught them how to play the piano you could always see how afraid they were. Because M. started with her lesson, Y. & me went to a coffee shop and got some hot chocolate and muffins for their lunch snack.
Afterwards we got home and prepared the presents for I. and N.

Promised Update.

 So on Sunday we went to JF Kennedy Airport in Brooklyn to dropp off G. who was about to go back to Egypt. 'was kinda strange to think of the fact that he won't be here anymore 'cause he's been here for the same time I've been here now. Whatever. Turned out to be a pretty cold farewell. There were still two and a half hours left since his plane would depart - but instead of having another hour (or at least thirty minutes) G. preferred to quickly say goodbye and stood in line. I can tell you, H. and the children were so sad 'bout that. But well. H. showed me the terminal and bought me some pretty cool electric thing for head massages :) Afterwards we've had some little snack and hit the road back home. We actually wanted to go to another mall in WP to get Mona new gumboots and to have dinner there but since there was so much traffic goin' on we straightly went back home.

When I was already in bed checkin' some eMails, H. came in and said:

I may be old and have grey hair but I won't forget to say: 
Thank you, you've been an angel!

:-)


Yesterday the ramp to 95 (Highway) in White Plains was closed.
Aw. I already 'knew' the other way to get to school  but when H. showed me this route  I was so sure I would not draw to that route so fast. The ramp was closed from 9am 'til 2pm so I just needed to take the other route when I was about to get back to White Plains to pick up the monkeys from school. Going a foreign route by myself. I think I don't need to tell you how anxious I've been ;-)
In the end it was pretty easy and I already feel confident taking the other route!

btw. I alternated cars last week so I'm only using the Subaru. Stickshift!!! But I'm fine :-)

Last night I've had kickboxing classes without H. 
Formula: me @ kickboxing - h. = pussycat.
hahahahahahahahahhahahahhahahhahhahahhahhahahahhahahah.
Kickboxing class was awesome. We were training with the punching bags nearly all the time and I'm already able to do some nice punching and kicking combinations. You guys will be surprised :D In the last 20 minutes we've had some little work out with medicine balls.Well, I'm about to get the whole kickboxing equipment soon  and then I'm about to go around! So looking forward to that :-)


♥ 'k, thx, bye.
