ok another laundry list. i'm SORRY. jeez. i've just been busy, what with volunteering and going out and mom here and back and forth and the GA and FUCKKKKKKKKKK. so, luv ya, here ya go:
walked to catch sheruit to tel aviv
alice and i both stressed out, maybe because my mom is here, maybe last week
got beer for ride, felt little better
walked to sub kuch to bring daniel a hat to cheer him up (wasn't there, so we left)
then walked for a while before catching a sheruit to meet mom at the pizza place
where she was with marc, new friend from atlanta (funniest guy ever)
black dude with dreads, injects his southern english with hebrew words, ("WALLA!", "balagan!")
then michael showed up, weird guy, but great guitar player. had good talks with him
met yaacov from cleveland and other pizza employees
then another friend of mine showed up
we played and mom sang along
it was nice that she had her own thing. i liked watching her talk and hang out like a normal person.
alice went to bed because she was sooooo tired
we all hung out and played and sang and talked and ...
crazy russian broad kissing air and hugging hands, she really needed a friend (parents died when she was really little)
spent some time after the pizza place closed ...........
snuck inside and went to bed too late
woke up at 6 to catch a sheruit at 7 to be home by 7:30 to be at sharet by 8
didnt happen, but had a great day teaching english and reading stories together
i actually felt like i did something for these kids. felt amazing.
walked home to pick up mom
walked to naveyo natan, but karen called on the way to tell me not to come (7th grade kids in trouble for smoking)
mom and i went to teach with al instead
good kids, but rowdy
we all played pictionary. i had a lot of fun
came home
tried to take a nap, but couldn't
found avocado!!! mixed with tuna. brillz dinner
finally edited some photos...
watched the mask and waynes world (BRILLZ)
called gammy and eddie and got to talk for a minute (miss them tons, gammy keeps ordering me to come home. she "needs me". FUCK.)
watched mom's audition tape thingy, actually really funny but even SHE was embarrassed of how cheesy it was. she finally understands!!! also, a DVD of her senior follies (she did great)
sleep
woke up this morning
walked to elderly center (mom's not so hot with the walking, but she's getting better)
did arts and crafts and aerobics with the oldies
mom danced with lechem lady (bread stealer)---not a bad dancer
denise (oldie) asked me to call her cousin in the states, very weird conversation
mom started a knitting thing. she's actually pretty good. i was impressed.
walked mom home, stopped by gadi's falafel (mom LOVED it)
went with alli to play soccer at sharet
i played and remembered why i liked soccer in high school, SO FUN
still not very good, but it felt GREAT to be active. i miss that feeling
all the kids kept trying to ask me questions during the game in mixed hebrew/english
really cute, but i actually wanted to play
alice and i left and decided that we'll buy a ball and start drilling/juggling for practice/exercise
got ambushed by cute little bugs asking us questions (israeli kids are so curious)
walked home and watched 'playing by heart' with mom (it's been so long since i've seen it, but i know it well)
she put her arm around me during the sad parts, it was nice
i have a hard time being around her sometimes. especially lately, when i've been so down on myself. and she's someone i blame but i realize none of it is her fault and i'm not her, in addition to the fact that she did the best she could, plus she has many wonderful qualities that i should be thankful that she passed on to me. and if i want something different for myself, i have to ask for it. and do it. and get over my own obstacles. so tonight, we'll go to tel aviv and spend some time together, just us. then al will join us and there's a party with sub kuch people later. so tonight will be fun.
OH! i posted photos... hereeeeeeeeeee.
there's many more to come, but at least i started to wade through the pile.
love,
sally
