I'm seriously losing track of time.
Below are the true confessions of a mother of 5 who's been away from home too long: Enjoy!
- I've been slightly tempted to buy a mini skirt or some clothing with fur on it just to fit in.
- I got a blister doing my laundry.
- I found myself drinking right out of a 2 liter Coke bottle (how embarrassing to admit).
- I don't like hot dogs in America, but I despise them in Ukraine.....they are a more mysterious, melt-in-your-mouth kind of meat that are microwaved and topped off with mayonnaise. It is a shear act of love every time Vanya requests going out for hot dogs!
- I managed to make my very own taste-of-home banana bread......Mmmmmm!!!! However, I was equally perturbed as I was happy to watch 2 boys eat the ENTIRE loaf after I had just fed them dinner!
- I'm not getting used to going to bed without my Honey.
- I get laughed at when I emphasize the wrong syllable in Russian words.
- I fall for almost all the jokes the boys play on me (like telling me to go on the wrong bus). It's one thing to hang out with teenage boys all day every day, but it's a totally different thing to be at their mercy in a foreign country!
- I have the worst craving for Tostitos with a hint of lime and a jar of really hot salsa.
- I've been formulating a "I wished I would have packed this" list to include, Bath and Body Works items, my leatherman multi-tool, baking powder, and more Starbuck's Via.
- Even lousy American songs sound good over here.
- I haven't littered, but am becoming increasingly convinced that it is rather convenient when there aren't any trash cans around and there are plenty of wild dogs to clean it up.
- When I got in the shower this morning, I couldn't tell if I smelled bad or if it was the water. I concluded that neither one was preferable. Overall though, God is good and I'm so thankful He is here with me.
