It's oh so quiet
Oct. 4th, 2007 11:48 pmThought I'd give you a slice of life.
Had a very busy day, brother and I drove to Tel Meggido to be with my sister Leigh, her family (seeing as it was to celebrate my Nephew's third birthday)and walk around the archaeological ruins from the various Bronze and Iron Ages which litter that part of our fair country.
It being the end of Sukkot Holiday and just before the rains (we hope) start.
Tel Meggido is a.k.a Mount Meggido which is a.k.a Armageddon.
Needless to say, on top of regular families like ours walking around and enjoying the view and the History of the place there were also American tourists taking a closer look at where the Final Conflict Between Good and Evil is said to take place.
Personally, I'm far more inclined to believe the End will come via some Bureaucratic mishap... or somewhere in the English countryside... either way it would make more sense than taking the word of a brain addled, drug addict martyr who was being completely allegorical and was actually talking about ROME and the Emperor Nero and not the Devil and his workers so much.
And the world keeps turning anyway.
Tomorrow the parental units are returning from China, and normality will be restored in the Barron house-hold, I'd like to think my brother and I kept it together very well, after all there are no dirty dishes in the sink, and the washing machine is spinning mightily on.
I have to admit it's been a weird summer what with barely seeing my parents, me being away and them being away multiple times... it seems there's finally going to be a reprieve of traveling and everyone will be doing what they have to in their lives.
Mummy will go back to the teaching with no break until December.
Daddy will go back to the Pharmacy and work the hours he always does.
And me... I'm going to Uni...
Gah.
In addition, the genocide in Darfur must be stopped.

A little sports
Aug. 11th, 2007 03:01 pmI played basketball this morning.
It was hard.
Two hours of exerting one's self after a hell of a long time with no physical exercise is no small feat.
I actually managed to keep my own during the game, seeing it was good clean fun (with a few clashes and a few of the guys getting a ball in the... well... "nether regions") and everyone was very happy to have a new person join them at the game, it felt really good to spend time with all these people I don't know (other than Aviv and his brother).
I'm definitely going to play again next weekend, this is also a great incentive to do a little sports during the week, so that I can actually play 'till lunch time with the rest of them and not plod home half dead.
And later today Daddy is go to attempt to teach me to ride a bike.
Yeah, laugh it up, 22 and doesn't ride a bike, hardi har har!
With any luck, and obviously little skill, I'll be able to actually ride the bike and not fall down and begin bawling like a five year old (my five year old nephew will be joining us and will hopefully learn from his Auntie that it's better to learn these things at an early stage in life and not after a life time of refusing to ride a bike.
Don't ask me why I've decided to start riding now, I couldn't answer you.

The inside of my head today
Jun. 18th, 2007 10:42 pmToday my nephew, Amos, turned six.
Six years.
More than half way to ten.
I was sixteen when he was born (a baby myself) and he's the first grandchild in my family.
He's the oldest of the youngest generation in my family. ( More about him here )
I'm a paper, television and radio news addict. I like to hear, see and feel what is going on in the world. The Internet news sites are all very nice and informative but they seem so detached from it all. I usually check them in order to confirm a roomer I heard or to read a link someone else found and then I'll skim over the other bulletins that are on that particular website. ( To read why I'm talking about this, click the cut )
That's how the inside of my head looked today.
Was yours equally grey?

Still not at home
May. 7th, 2007 08:55 pmI've been abandoned!!!!
Nah, I'm just babysitting the big ones for their parents who've gone for a very nice night out in Tel-Aviv.
Both boys were very well behaved with a few skirmishes and threats from their Aunt, Mother and Granny, but it wasn't bad at all.
They ate beautifully, bathes with little fuss and eventually fell asleep.
I had to be on guard duty for Amos, apparently he was a little apprehensive and wanted to make sure I was there all the time. Just an hour after I put them to bed he relieved me telling me I could leave and promptly fell asleep.
Sweet child.

I'm not at home
May. 6th, 2007 08:50 pmI'm in Beer Sheva, my sister's home.
Tomorrow I'm babysitting my nephews, who decided to give me the impression that they are little monsters.
No matter, I'll just have to show them that their cool aunt can also be a mean aunt... if it comes to that.
Which I don't think it will, but you never know with children of these age.

Seasons Come and Seasons Go
Apr. 7th, 2007 12:43 pmThe Familia Americana went home yesterday and I cried like the cry-baby I am.
It's just so depressing.
*sigh*
On the up side, Winter is over, it's Spring (meaning it's hot like hell, windy, dusty and sandy, at varying intervals) and soon I'll be going from duvet to a summer blanket (to be followed by a peke). I used to think I liked Winter, that is was my favourite Season, but no. I like rain, I do, but I hate the cold! Fuck, do I hate the cold and I'd much rather lie naked on the floor in order to cool off than put on the heater and wrap myself up in five layers of clothes.
I also like the longer days, being an evening person myself, I prefer the evening to come later that way my energy levels last longer.
So I'm happy it's not cold anymore, and Winter doesn't last that long in Israel, in May the weather will stabilize into Very Hot and will go into June-July-August as Hot Like Hell and fun will be had at the beach, wearing spaghetti strap tanks and walking barefoot in the street.

Bittersweet Joy
Mar. 28th, 2007 06:10 pmI'm home alone for the next hour.
*punches the air in triumph*
The grandparents are out with the babies.
The mother and father of said babies are gone for the night.
I'm going out for pool with Aviv later this evening.
Tomorrow I'm out for coffee with my sister (thus unfortunately canceling an undoubtedly wonderful evening with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tamara_russo and queenmab21. But Jade is here only once a year, so... ya know, I love them lots, but time with big sister outweighs the rest).
And I have The Dresden Dolls at full blast!

An Actual Update About my Life
Mar. 28th, 2007 12:30 amA few things:
#1 Full house again, been kicked out of my room, but much more organized this time, proper futon and I was much more psychologically prepared for such an occurrence.
#2 Too many babies, makes a Granny stressed, thus the Aunt (and daughter of said Granny, must be prepared for a meltdown that can look like harsh criticism... aka SNAFU).
#3 The Children are wonderful.
#4 Their Parents are pretty cool too.
I'm on a break from the Nanny job, at least until after Pesach, where the mother said she'd like it if I came back, despite the fact that the baby is going into a creche [sp?] at the end of April. Which is good, because then I can give my all to the editing job, where I have two deadlines, one for this weekend, hopefully the Guy will send me all the files on time, I'd hate for someone to get delayed pays, specifically over the Holidays. And the second on the 21st of April, which isqueenmab21's deadline as well due to her series of unfortunate events, which cause me stress from worrying about her:
Girl, always be well, I dunno if I can get any more of those kind of phone calls from you.
Thus, I'm on a sorta holiday, no official baby duty, no more chores (yeah, I had to do spring cleaning for my room today since Leigh and her family came over, yes in addition to Jade and her family... told you it was a full house) and I can just chill with Frida (the laptop) and gaze adoringly at my Nephews/Niece. Daddy thinks Libby remembers me a little, I don't think so, since the last time she saw me was August, but there is something there, she cuddles me everyday and I must say it makes me feel very good.
And as Porky says:
D-di-dia-dat's all folks!
Until next time, of course.

"Whose your Mama?"
Jan. 22nd, 2007 06:44 pmNot me.
I've come to accept the fact that at the young age of 21 I've become matronly.
Babies like me and those who had said babies want me to take care of them.
On Thursday I'll be babysitting an infant for a few hours and starting next month I'll be helping a Grandmother take care of her granddaughter while both parents work.
The oddest part of all this is that I really like babies as well.
They're really cute when they're not crying and are really easy to satisfy (feed, change and hold, the basics) and they always seem happy to snuggle into me, which I have to admit gives me a gooey feeling inside. Here's this tiny, helpless, squishy human being and all they want to do is snuggle into my boob, I mean, that's so... I dunno... gooey.
The baby I'm babysitting is only six weeks old and he's so sweet and tiny, mainly sleeps, eats and has bowel movements and pees, which makes it a whole lot easier, since I can just hold him if he fusses and all that jazz.
It's amazing how much knowledge you gain from taking care of a baby, your perspective changes a hell of a lot as well. At this point in my life, my greatest accomplishment is knowing I can handle and take care of another human being. The responsibility of another person's life is extremely humbling and I believe caused the shift in my perception of society and my role in it.
Despite being a good care-taker, I don't see myself being a nanny, or even really working with babies as a proper career path.
I mean there's only so much "yuck" I can take, not to mention that babies cramp my radical style ;P (only joking, motherhood's probably the most radical thing in the world).
But I don't see myself being a mother, ever. Wouldn't a young woman in her twenties, whose made a job out of taking care of babies be primed for a bad case of tickling ovaries? But even gushing over the cousin of a friend, the infants I'll be taking care of and smiling at babies in their prams in the street, I'm very happy to never, ever want them.
Note: I don't mention my nephews and niece here, because it goes without saying that I'd die (and possibly) kill for them. No questions asked.

It's raining, it's pouring
Dec. 31st, 2006 01:42 pmAnd I have to drive in this downpour in order to pick up Mummy from the airport.
I'm really happy she's home, I swear, every time she goes I forget how hard she works, because I take over the majority of the chores she does, like the washing, ugh, I hate doing the washing.
It sucks.
But now she's home and we'll be able to watch TV together and spend some time telling me about the Babies she visited in the States. Plus, ya know, prezzies :).
I hope I did everything okay while she was gone, apparently I was very bossy towards Daddy and Robbie over the week Mmummy was away and was pretty bad tempered too.
I don't really mean to, but sometimes they're so annoying!
But oh well, it's a new year tomorrow, which really carries little significance other than a change in the dates, but maybe I'll mellow out this year.
Maybe.

Happy Birthday Libby!
Dec. 1st, 2006 01:10 pmI can't believe Libby is a year old already!
It's absolutely amazing!
And I'm not going to see her until Pesach, maybe.
Boy what a year it's been, one of the more interesting years of my life, which isn't saying much since I'm a sheltered 21 year old :)
One things for sure, it was one of the best, because I got to take care of Libby for a large part of it.

Family Matters
Sep. 5th, 2006 05:52 pmLuckily the job is only part time at the moment, so it was only one shift this week, I assume that next week they're going to dump me in the deep end.
Why is it lucky? Well Ariel is going back to England for two weeks in order to tie up loose ends and for another conference, so I'll be going down South for a few days (from Wed to Fri) and it should be nice. Do some sisterly bonding with Leigh and get reacquainted with her babies - well hardly "babies" - Amos is five and Shaul is going to be 2 in October.
God I can't believe I was 16 when I became an Aunt, life and time moves so fast.

No Subject
Sep. 2nd, 2006 08:28 pmhagar_972's birthday party was great, there was a barbecue, there was a sea, there were lots of friends and it was late at night.Not much can go wrong in situations like that.
There was a hell of a lot of catching up to do, since I hadn't seen most of them people in almost nine months.
There were Asaf, Sofi,
morin, tamara_russo, Adi, Roi, schniff and fenchurch42 were lovely as usual, May and I talked for a really long time and it would seem that we decided to traverse the British Isles together!It's still in the theory only, but I'm going to call Mummy's travel agent tomorrow and see if there's anyway of getting stuff done.
Despite the fact that I got the job at the DVD-club and may have an offer elsewhere... I mean fuck it, this is the time I should be living the moment - I have the money to travel and a job I can always find after the Holidays... but how many times will I be able to spend time with a person I like traveling England, Scotland and Ireland?
So, tomorrow I have to get to Bituach Leumi, to cash in my Miluim check, talk to the travel agent and spend much time with Jade and the Babies since they're going back to the Uncle Sam's tomorrow evening.
I don't know when I'll see Jade, Shvo or Libby again but it will probably be a very long time.
Since I left (early July) and when they came to here (just two weeks ago) not a very long time passed and Libby remembered me, it was uncanny how much she remembered me, but then again it had only been six weeks and I was a major person in her life for the majority of her life and now she'll forget me... gonna have to Skype it.
Edit:
nurint was at the party!!! Let it be known throughout the land, nurint is a very good friend and WAS at the beach party!!!And there was no skinny dipping.
"We are a-go... I mean, ga-ga!"
Aug. 24th, 2006 08:39 pmThe day began pleasantly enough with me waking up beside morin, getting ready to get back to the Mad House and then spending the morning with Mummy and four children under the age of six (5, 4, 1.9 and 0.8).
Yeah.
( The Babies )
Libby slept from 13:15 (on the way home) 'till I left for the training session at 16:00

A Day in Jerusalem
Aug. 18th, 2006 06:08 pm( I talk about the Holocaust )
After we rested a bit, since as I said it was quite overwhelming, we went to the gift shop and bought a few books, Daddy bought Ellie Wiesel's "Night" and I bought K. Tzetnick's "The Doll House".
Afterwards we went to have lunch in Abu Ghosh, I love the Hummus and Pita in Abu Ghosh, in my opinion it's the best in Israel, better than Yaffo or Haifa. After we were full we drove home, I slept in the car.
It was a very good day, a great way to spend some quality time with adults and not be cooped up with Mummy, Leigh and the kiddies everyday. This is especially good because Jade is coming with Shvo and Libby for ten days on Sunday, so I'll be spending a very long time with most under six year olds for company.
I also gave in my resume to Shira who is going to try and get me a job at the local DVD rental store.
Ah, life.

The End of "Baby Duty"
Jun. 29th, 2006 09:20 amToday is my last day as Libby's Nanny.
I can't believe how much I've done in the past four months and how far I've come.
When I started out she was this little thing that only slept, ate and used up nappies.
Now she's a tiny little person.
What an amazing time it's been!
At the same time, I'm a bit glad it's over, that I've done it and can now move on, I love her and always will, but it had to end at some point.
I will always have a special place in my heart for Libby, I really hope (and I intend to make sure) that she and I have a special bond.
I love my nephews to bits as well, but Libby is different; she's the first person to ever really depend on me and she's the first person I ever really had a "life or death" responsibility towards.
It's been a hard and very life changing (I feel) months for me.
Now I get to go home for some rest :)
But not before we go to Virginia again, for a bit of beach holiday with Jade and the kids while Rami studies for his orals.
I can't believe how much I've done in the past four months and how far I've come.

At the same time, I'm a bit glad it's over, that I've done it and can now move on, I love her and always will, but it had to end at some point.
I will always have a special place in my heart for Libby, I really hope (and I intend to make sure) that she and I have a special bond.
I love my nephews to bits as well, but Libby is different; she's the first person to ever really depend on me and she's the first person I ever really had a "life or death" responsibility towards.
It's been a hard and very life changing (I feel) months for me.
Now I get to go home for some rest :)
But not before we go to Virginia again, for a bit of beach holiday with Jade and the kids while Rami studies for his orals.
I am so proud of myself.
I cooked without supervision today and not even for myself! I made a delightful veggie soup (commonly known as מרק תינוקות) for Libby.
We'll have to wait for tomorrow to see if she likes it, but it doesn't matter since now I know how to make it and I'll be able to make it for any future baby I'll nanny.
I can't wait to get home!
