To myself:
For the events of the last few years, I am doing pretty well. In the past seven years (since 1999), I have:
- graduated from a four-year Institute, receiving a BA equivalent in a foreign language, in a foreign country
- moved to Russia and back TWO times (I am talking full out moving, not visiting); so that makes 4 international moves--3 of which I was pregnant for
- I have gotten married (including meeting my future spouse-courtship, etc)
- we have gone through three pregnancies, three births (ranging from medical c-section to vbac, to unassisted home birth--that last wasn't officially planned!)
- have been baptised in the Russian Orthodox church, then am currently in the process of returning to my birthright: Judaism
- have lived in countless different living-spaces from apartment to garage to other places I don't feel like sharing at the moment;
- been a stay-at-home-mom with three toddlers, and now am working full time.
My children have changed childcare and schools almost every 3-6 months.
Okay? Now, where am I?
I am still married, living in a stable situation (G-d willing that such a situation should continue), returning to Judaism with my three children (G-d willing, we are all in good health), working, praying, looking for the newest way forward.
I was thinking of putting a mezuzah on our front doorway.
What do you think of that?
