LAST NIGHT – ok

Last night was a very eventful supper. Usually I keep everything very quiet and low key because it is Yom Kippur and supposedly a very solemn holiday.

Last night was anything BUT!!! It was mainly because my grandson wasn’t feeling well. Also he slept only about a half hour during the day so was tired and cranky. After he threw many things on the floor we took his high chair in the kitchen and let him eat and watch ELMO on TV.

Also because Yom Kippur doesn’t have the same meaning for me I don’t have the same interest as I use to to keep things low key etc.

Anyhow we were talking about going to the synagogue today and for whatever reason my daughter-in-law is just NOT interested. While we were talking she got upset and told us to layoff. She isn’t Jewish or wasn’t until she converted at the temple. I think she came once many years ago and was bored because she couldn’t understand Hebrew etc. I don’t blame her but at the same time I don’t know why she doesn’t come just to make me happy. I guess it’s because I always did everything to keep people happy especially my mother! I know she cares about me and does alot with me in mind except for this one thing. Anyhow we dropped the subject.

I don’t know when I am going to the synagogue. My family might go in the morning for an hour or two. Usually I go about twelve and stay the rest of the day- until after seven. I don’t know if I want to do it this year. Since I don’t pray anymore it seems stupid!!!! Maybe I will just go for the latter part of the day or NOT at all. What for if I don’t believe? I would like to show off my grandson but that isn’t a good enough reason to go or is it? I sit at the end of the row so have many people to pass through – not a good place for a noisy toddler!!!!!! When my mother and the Rabbi’s wife chose their seats they thought they were sitting on an aisle. They chose their seats from plans I guess.

The most exciting thing is that I decided to take my daughter-in-law to Las Vegas for her birthday in November. I am not sure how many days we will go for. I feel sad to leave my grandson without his mother so I have to decide how long to go for. I never left my kids till they were over two. I will discuss it with my son as he will have to look after his son. He is very good with him but still………….My friend was just there and told me it would NOT be a good place for my hubby who can’t tolerate noise etc. So I will have to talk to hubby too. Sure wish I had my own money but how can I when I NEVER think before I spend. If we go it will be in November after my hubby leaves for Florida.

So I had a lot of pots and serving dishes to clean up after everyone went home. Even though we used platic there was enough and the left overs made me nautious. (SP?) Now that I think about it I should get some of those plastic serving dishes at the dollar store and on certain occasions just throw them out. I know it is wasteful BUT at the end of some meals I am more than exhausted.

I was up at six thirty – went to MacDonads for breakfast. Then went to four bakeries – one had a delicious whole wheat CHALLAH which is an egg bread, bought stuff for supper tonight, got gas and other food for tonight, etc.

I made a mock chopped liver dish which turned out very good. Maybe, just maybe, I won’t make the real thing anymore since this is made with beans and much healthier.

So all in all it was a very tiring day. I went to bed about nine so of course I am up now for a few hours. It’s 2:05 A.M.
