We've had one of those weeks....maybe longer where I just hate living here. Everything seems to take SO.MUCH.LONGER than it should...we got cheated out of money and probably should have known better but hey...you have to take a stab and trust people sometimes.
Our visa situation that has loomed over us and affected us in so many little ways (can't go here, can't go there need to wait for a phone call this afternoon blah blah blah) and has now crashed our Eid holiday travel at the last minute.
We found out Layla's ears still aren't healed from the bad fall she took in January - there is still fluid in the canal. I can't find the right kind of meat I want at the store...ever these days.
I keep forgetting to buy the vegetables at the right time from the right store.
Then there is dear daughter who seems to be ramping up her desire to test the boundaries all the time. A whole new phase for her and I am so shocked. Tom says I need to stop being shocked and expect her to disobey but she has really been such a "good girl" for so long I am still stunned. So I have been mad and yelling way more than usual.....also makes life feel icky.
There are more things - all basic and small inconveniences about living here but some weeks they add up to too much and I just want to go back to the vision of nice clean, efficient America. Then I remember what is happening there and think good grief. We can't go anywhere to make the hassle go away.
AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!
