The Snow (or the end of the world)
Gosh.
The snow.
I don't have the koyech to retype everything, but you'll see my twitter status when they come up on the blog.
In the mean time:
-There wasn't onevacant hotel room in the whole Parisian area last night because so many people couldn't go back home
-Some schools and daycares stayed open all night because parents couldn't come back
-One of our acquaintances stayed in his car for more than fifteen hours.
-BH I didn't go to Mati's school show early morning, I would have been DEAD after such a day. Btw many moms werelike "show at 9 am?? no way, I sleep!!" and husband told me few attended (and few dads too). There will be a video.
-I loved meeting an amother and her cute girls, but I think it may be the last meet for me far from home. The first ones rocked, the close ones too, but between the meets were no one bothered to address me, the meet were only one person came, the meet were there was no one (apparently there were two malls in the same city with the same name?!), the meet I couldn't attend because there was snow and husband couldn't drive me and I refused to drag a diarrhoea toddler in bus and metro and the person was still upset, and this last meet... it may be a clear sign!
-Real estate agency, after the boss in vacation for two weeks with no one having his office key where all the files are, now he's in sickness vacancy for one month! and the girl we deal with too! no one replacing them, so even families without heating are told to "wait it out"!
-My kids stayed at school with the rebbe until he had to leave because his own daughter was stuck on the road and his grandchildren had been home alone for hours; then she stayed with the janitor for hours, who fed her sufganiot, candies and sodas, but worried about her needing a hot meal (so generational!) and he didn't trust himself to cook something up to par on kashrus (he is not Jewish) so he called the rebbe who told us if in 20 mins we're not there, he goes back on the roads to bring her to his home and cook her a real kosher dinner. SOME PEOPLE STILL CARE. Mati asked if sometimes we could do it all again!
And I'll finish on this beautiful note.
