A little bit of stress today

Today was the first day of a set of three. REAL packing. with real professional packers, and their tools. papers, boxes, bubble wrap, tape. Speedy they wrap everything they touch. DO NOT leave anything you want to keep with you around, unless you have put a RED sticker on it. You get the idea - some of our stuff we were going to use in our trip got pack!

And then in the middle of that, my nanny, Melinda, called with a strange voice. "Ça ne va pas." Right away I thought Noam was not going well, as he just had recovered from a bad stomac bug and I was not sure it was completely over... NO... Melinda's mom had just past away. What a terrible news. It took me a few seconds to be able to feel compasionate to her, my mind was struggling trying to figure an emergency option for Noam's care in those next few days, or hours... I managed to say the appropriate things and Melinda came back home quickly to rush home and organize her departure to Ivory Coast.

Even before she returned, I enlisted my group of best friends, all moms from the neighborhood, to help me find some alternate care for Noam. In within hours, I was able to figure something for both days. Thank you so much girls!

So as Noam is sleeping now, I am going to do the same. I need to be ready tomorrow...
