A small post at the end of a work day. We are very grateful that our two older children have found a place at a Jewish school…we will see how this goes, as school starts in a week!
Getting health insurance in place for the pregnancy–my but it is strange to be preggers again. That’s an annoying word, but so there.
The Rabbi suggested going to the mikvah since we had been involved in Christianity for a couple of years. Before the high holidays… interesting idea. I am thinking about it.

So, I am in a grateful mood. Maybe because after my husband did a bunch of laundry and dishes on Monday, and then I folded and put away a bunch and remade all the kids beds I felt good about myself. Maybe because I have been praying and journaling daily and regularly and I feel more at peace. Maybe because I finally got our car repaired and its all clean and shiny (though they did charge me twice by accident and are still figuring that out)
…Or maybe its because we’re expecting a baby! I always wanted four children. Thank you G-d for bringing another soul into our life. We’re not telling anyone yet, although the belly’s beginning to show. Maybe its because I’m so grateful that I have such a wonderful family. Thank you, Hash-m for that!!!!!
Okay, I will be on my way now.
May you all have a wonderful Shabbat and continuation of your weekend–and may you all be blessed to feel the gratefulness of the beauty of life surrounding and in you.

RIVERS OF BABYLON
by The Melodians
(B. Dowe – F. McHaughton, adapted from Psalm 137:1)
By the rivers of Babylon
Where we sat down
And there we wept
When we remembered Zion
But the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alfa song
In a strange land
Cause the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alfa song
In a strange land
Sing it out loud
Sing a song of freedom sister
Sing a song of freedom brother
We gotta sing and shout it
We gotta talk and shout it
Shout the song of freedom now
So let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight
Over I
So let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight
Over I
Sing it again
We’ve got to sing it together
Everyone of us together
By the rivers of Babylon…
(Original lyrics from the 1972 album sleeve of “The Harder They Come” o.s.t. ) by Don Julian
