The Other Woman
What is it with men and technology? Hubby recently acquired a tom-tom GPS device, in hopes of keeping our marriage intact minimizing the arguments that we frequently have during our weekend sightseeing adventures. This weekend, our first full weekend away, apart from day trips, we decided to head off to Devon and Cornwall. I had our itinerary loaded up with castles, museums, old houses, monuments, beaches, and countrysides to behold!
The tom-tom was to be a great help in our travels as we went from place to place in very unfamiliar territory. And it was a help. At first. The tom-tom (for the rest of this entry to be referred to as Rita, since she has a female voice with a lovely British accent) got us out of London and through several cities with ease. At just the time Rita predicted, we were pulling into our first destination and where we were to be based for the weekend, Plymouth. It was after we entered Plymouth that the problems with Rita and hubby began. You see, he began listening to Rita instead of common sense and instead of me, his backseat driver love of nearly 20 years!
I must digress for a moment to make you aware that up until now, I have been the chief navigator on all of our excursions, and I've gotten us around the south eastern part of England quite well, thank-you-very-much. But now that Rita is in the picture, hubby seems to have forgotten all of the round-abouts and one way streets and narrow cobblestone roads he has traversed with me as his chief navigator. Hubby depends on Rita now. And to his own demise, navigationally speaking! Because like I said earlier, hubby trusts Rita now --- to a fault.
We were traveling quite well through Plymouth and heading toward our desired destinatin of the Holiday Inn when Rita began taking us past the Holiday Inn. I politely reminded hubby that Holiday Inn was now in our rearview mirror only to be told that Rita must be taking us this way because she knows that Holiday Inn is on a one way street. Well, that was a reasonable thought, so I held my tongue. It was when Rita began directing us into the parking lot of the Quality Inn that I began to question her wisdom. I laughed a bit as we pulled into the wrong hotel, assuming that hubby would reasonably conclude that Rita had gotten a bit confused and that hubby would agree that we would now need to procure directions to the Holiday Inn. Hubby, who is a slow and deliberate thinker (usually an advantage of him over me in stressful situations), then said something ridiculous beyond belief. He said, and I quote, "Well, maybe this is the Holiday Inn." WHAT?!? WERE WE IN THE SAME VEHICLE?! We had just passed the Holiday Inn and were quite obviously in the parking lot of a hotel with a sign clearly marked as the Quality Inn. Hubby, in fact, wanted to trust Rita so badly that he, the man who never stops to ask directions, went in to ask at the front desk if the hotel where we were now parked was indeed the Holiday Inn as Rita said it was! He actually went in to ask the clerk that! Now, I was getting angry at Rita. She clearly held sway over my husbands otherwise reasonable mind! Because she was technology. And technology can't be wrong. Right.
Hubby came back out to the car to inform us all that indeed we were not at the Holiday Inn. Glad to have that cleared up. I began to think at that point that I had the upper hand on Rita, since she had clearly gotten us to the wrong location. Oh, how wrong I was. Rita still had him in her seductive tech-y clutches! He began making excuses for Rita about how she had gotten us to a hotel, and that even though she was a bit wrong, we were close to it. I, on the other hand, began to rue the day that we ever allowed Rita to enter into our otherwise harmonious marriage!
After attempting to configure Rita again to the proper location, we set off again in search of the Holiday Inn. We headed off in what seemed at first like the proper direction. But at a certain point, I began to realize that we were again headed to the Quality Inn. Hubby however, kept trusting his newfound love. But in his defense, this time he didn't pull into the parking lot at the Quality Inn. Finally, we found the Holiday Inn, no thanks to Rita, who was still determined to take us to you-know-where! The only way that I convinced hubby to trust me instead of his beloved Rita was that the Holiday Inn was now in view and that fact couldn't be argued with.
I could go on and on about the various predicaments Rita placed us in. How we asked her to take us to the closest McDonald's and she took us to a parking garage, about how she never did acknowledge that there was a Holiday Inn at the correct location, about how she was very finicky about landmarks and tourist sights, often not acknowledging their existence either, and last but not least the time we wasted in trying to get her to recognize certain places, evetually even losing time at a museum because it closed while we were fiddling with her! But, I'll just show you some of the pictures from our fabulous weekend. And I'll let you decide who the navigator in our family should be from now on!

What Can I Say? The Girl Loves Birthdays!
On the way home from church, while passing a field of grazing sheep, this is what hubby and I heard from the backseat from dd4:
"When do you think is those sheeps birthday, mom? 'Cause I wanna give 'em some birthday cake!"
Do you think this has anything to do with the fact that she asks when her birthday is about 3 times a week and it's in December?

Apparently, She's a Woman of Contradictions
Me to my youngest: "You're so pretty!"
She: "No! I not pweddeee, mommy. I cooooot. (cute)"
Undettered, I respond: "Yes, you're cute!"
She: "No, mommy! I not cooot. I pweddeeee!"
Wanting to be called pretty instead of cute. Wanting to be called cute instead of pretty. She's such a girl!

One Stressed-Out, Culture-Shocked, Terrified Mommy
Life for us right now is extremely stressful. Daddy has been gone for 12 -13 hours per day. We're in a very small apartment. The three children and I are in a completely new environment with no friends, no family, no church home around. I can't lie to you. Today, I cried. (Those who read this blog that know me personally will not be shocked by this!) 
My son, who is very curious, unlocked and opened the window. We're on the 9th floor and there are no screens on windows in the UK! I lost it. I mean completely lost it. What if he had fallen out that window?! The Eric Clapton song about his son that fell from a window came to mind. You know the one..."Tears in Heaven"?
And that's when the tears came. I couldn't hold them back anymore. When you're in such a new place, with new rules, and no friends, family, etc, and the appliances and grocery stores and even the windows are different, it can become overwhelming. In your home country, you're competent and prepared. In a foreign country, even in one where they speak English, you are not. And so I broke right open, right in front of my boy, with tears. All the frustrations of the last ten days came pouring out like water flooding when the dam gives way.
I find myself being so irritable with the children. I'm not used to spending this much solitary time with them, with such little help from their father. To be honest, when I get stressed to this point at home, I call my mom or a friend and ask them to babysit for a couple of hours while I go get my bearings at Starbucks or something. But here I. can't. do. that. I know that's not necessarily a bad thing. I had even thought it through before we got here. But thinking it through and living it are two very different beasts, aren't they?
So, culture shock and mommy-with-the-kids-all-the-time shock has set in. My mom sent me this scripture to encourage me today, "He will not leave you, nor forsake you," from Deuteronomy 31:6. Today, I really needed to be reminded of that...Jehovah Shammah...the LORD is there.

A New Friend
Upon questioning my middle dd if she made any friends at church today, she happily replied, "Yes! A girl named Angelina, but it wasn't the real Angelina, mom. You know, from Angelina Ballerina?" So guess her new friend is not a white mouse in a pink tutu, but I'm sure glad she met someone nice!

The Move is Closer Than Ever
We're up to our eyeballs in stuff! I've definitely come to the conclusion that unorganized people should not move overseas! Trying to determine what is worthy of your suitcase space or packing allowance is difficult and leaves you asking the question: If we can do without it for a year, how important is it to us anyway?!
We've found a terrific family who will be living in our home starting next week, as we are leaving Sunday. We'll be living in temporary housing until we find a residence to our liking. We'll most likely be in the Kensington area of central London for our temp housing and outside of London for our "permanent" housing.
We had some great intercultural training last week to get us somewhat prepared for life in England. Of course, the initial trip over was a great experience for that as well. The training was excellent in that it focused on culture shock, life as an expat family, support for the expat spouse, among other things. We know our housing will be smaller, certain American things will be unavailable, friends and family will be very far away and that the adjustment will be difficult. But the trainer emphasized the wonderful things that our family would experience, including a closeness and increased confidence in our own family unit. Overall, it was a very valuable experience.
Of course, you may be wondering why we aren't in London yet, as we were supposed to be there by mid-January. Well, there is a lot of red tape in moving overseas, which we have definitely experienced! The most obvious of that would be our work visa. It has been a slow process, delaying our return. But now, all seems to be clicking along, so we should be able to leave on Sunday as planned.
Any prayers offered on behalf our family during this transition would be so appreciated.

Oh, Happy Day!
I'm learning to live in the moment, to enjoy the most simple things in life, due to our currently stressful life situation. Right now, the moment goes something like this...
I hear the dishwasher humming in the background behind me. (Thank you God for the gift of a dishwasher and clean water).
My two girls are playing house. Oldest is the mommy and baby is, well...the baby! They're dressed up in fancy ball gowns and plastic shoes. Oldest has just tucked baby in with some board books and "read" each one so sweetly. Every few minutes, baby gets down from the couch to come and give me a kiss and hug, explaining it to me this way, "Wan gib you hug!" (Thank you Lord for these moments of sweet getting along between sisters.)
My oldest is behind me enjoying "My Father's Dragon". He started reading it this morning and is already on Chapter 7! He's a voracious reader. I'm enjoying listening to him laugh at the predicaments that Elmer Elevator is getting into on the wild island. (Thank you God for a boy who loves to learn.)
Living simply in these moments, I can better enjoy the gifts of God by paying attention to my life, instead of focusing on stressful situations that I cannot control.

Catching Up With You
While I promised in my last entry to post more regulary, alas, I have not. This job situation/move has been a very up and down process and this week we were in the pinnacles and depths emotionally. We have never moved before! And our first move is an international one - go figure! I am a drama queen who likes to do things big. 
As it stands right now, hubby and I will be going over to look for housing in London by the middle of next week. We were thinking we would be in a "suburb" of London close to where hubby will be working. But it seems that the property locators can't find any leases for less than a year in that area, so we are now looking at central London near Hyde Park! It will definitely be a completely different experience living in the city, but I'm really looking forward to it. And, after this week, I've learned that all of this could change quickly so I'm trying not to get my heart set on any of the cute little places that they've sent us pictures of. But Hyde Park, come on! That would be very neat in so many ways.
As mentioned above, hubby and I will be leaving for a one week trip next week to look for housing. Then hubby will stay behind to work, while the kids and I ready things here for the move. So, we've been doing lots of things here like last minute doctor and dentist appointments, calling our accountant, and calling various services and utilities that we use to inquire about what to do when we're gone. LOTS of things to do before we leave!
My son and daughter are gone with Daddy right now at his first Upward basketball practice. We're not sure how many games he'll get to play, but he's excited all the same. He's really looking forward to getting his uniform this morning. Hubby was all set to coach (something he's been looking forward to since my son was 1 day old) and won't be able to do that now because of the move. But, like we keep reminding ourselves, we can do all those things next year when we're back.
We'd continue to covet any prayers you would lift up on our behalf. And hopefully (cross-fingers) I will be posting more soon. I'll definitely try to post some from London on our house-hunting adventures.

Our Experience at Getting Passports
Our first attempt ever at getting passports was December 23. That's right, December 23- a Saturday - the Saturday before Christmas. We live in a small midwestern town where the post office was closing at 1 pm that day. I got out while hubby stayed in the car with the children. If we had to fill out applications, we certainly wanted to do that in the car while the children could be entertained with a dvd, rather than in the post office where they would amuse themselves with all sorts of getting into things they weren't supposed to, and bothering each other very loudly in sight of all the patrons.
So, yours truly ventured into the post office at around 11 am on said Saturday to get the information on passports. The line was rather short, which was a good thing since there were only 2 employees working behind the counter that day. I went to the passport line. I was greeeted by a kind man, even if he was a bit, shall we say, small town (read: redneck - hope that doesn't offend!). I asked the kind man about the passports and he gave me the forms to fill out. I then inquired about fees and such, implying that we would need the passports expedited.
To quote the man, "Oooooohhhh, that's gonna cost ya."
My reply, "Thank you, sir. We're aware that it will be costly, but we are needing them quickly."
Then, I made my most grievous mistake -- I implied to the man that we were intending on applying for the passports that very day and would need photos taken there, as the last place we went to get photos did not seem to have a camera that would properly fit children. After the kind gentleman recovered from his shock and disgust that we desired to get the passports right then, two hours from his Christmas vacation break, he then proceeded to give me all the explanations as to why we did NOT want to apply for the passports that day, saying things such as, "There are only two of us working today." "The line's gonna be all the way out the door." And other such things. It was quite an experience. I want to add that this experience wasn't rude, just comical. In no way am I trying to disrespect the postman.
I'm sure I'll miss these kinds of exchanges between myself and other midwestern kinds-of- folks (of which I'm one). My next bureaucratic exchanges will undoubtedly have a more high-brow, English, sort of tone. I'm sure this experience will continue be interesting.
Stay tuned for our other exciting adventures!

It's Official
Well, hubby accepted the temporary position in London, England. We'll be leaving mid-January. This has all happened very quickly. We're big home-bodies, so it will definitely stretch us. We are very excited about the opportunity for our family and for hubby, career-wise. Please pray for us as we plan, pack and leave in a very quick fashion. Please stop by for some short update posts as the days progress. I hope to be posting more regularly, but the posts will probably be shorter.

Big, Big Stuff
Please bear with me as my posts are few and far between. Not only is it the Christmas season and my daughter's fourth birthday, but our family is considering a temporary overseas assignment with his company. It would happen very quickly. We would sure appreciate your prayers! I will be planning to post details soon of our plans. Merry Christmas, everyone! Oh, and a new devotion of mine is up on our church website in case you're interested.

Christmas Busyness
I haven't been around much this week. Three things...I've been waiting for homeschoolblogger to get back up to speed since the upgrades; I've been sick with a sinus infection and bronchitis; and I've been working on finishing some Christmas projects, including some devotions (Here's one. I'll post the other one when it gets up on the site.) for our church website. I've also been doing what so many of you I'm sure have -- wrapping, buying, and baking. This is a busy time of the year! So, stick with me as my posts are slimmer. I'll soon be posting more regularly again. Sometime this weekend, I plan to post my favorite way that we're keeping Christ the central part of the season this year. Stay tuned.

Not-So-Crafty Jesse Tree
For all of you craft-challenged, (or time-challenged in my case) ladies out there who are looking for an easy way to do a Jesse tree, Shannon over at Rocks in My Dryer has a great post about how she used some store bought ornaments and then added some of her own easy-to-make variety. It inspired me. Although we won't be doing a Jesse tree this year, we are doing an Advent wreath and readings for the first time ever. Just lighting the candle, using special Christmas plates and turning the lights off got my kids so excited. And it got me excited too. About the real reason for Christmas...our hope in Jesus Christ. Check out these other great sites for some great Advent ideas.

Our Weekend Getaway
Warning! In rereading the entry below I noticed many, many food references. You may get extremely hungry while reading this post. Oh, and can you tell we really enjoy eating out?!?
We had a great get-away weekend together. Hubby and I went to the city closest to us. Kiddos stayed with my mom for one night and my aunt for the other. We spent Friday Christmas shopping at a nearby outlet mall. We then went up to the city and ate at one of our favorite restaurants, P.F. Changs. We got the lettuce wraps, mongolian beef and cashew and almond chicken with brown rice. We got some funny messages in our fortune cookies, but I'll keep those private. 
Then we headed off to our hotel. Hubby had set up a special romance package through the hotel, so that was quite a treat. The room had a gorgeous city view and we were on the top floor where all the suites were which was kind of fun. Not that we paid for that mind you, nor did we have a suite!
On Saturday, we slept until 10:30! We haven't done that since the pre-kids days. In fact, I was shocked when I groggily turned toward the clock to discover how late it was. I guess we were tired. Part of our package included room service for breakfast each day, and luckily they didn't stop serving until 11. Who knew that would be an issue?!? Anyway, hubby got the man meal: scrambled eggs, toast, sausage and hash browns. I got banana oatmeal brule. Sounds yummy, huh? It was very yucky actually and a bit cold, so hubby took that off of my hands, and kindly shared his meal with me. I love that about him! He's always willing to share his meal if I don't like mine. Me, on the other hand, sometimes I'm stingy about sharing a meal I really love. You can see who's the more self-sacrificing in the relationship now, can't you?
That evening we went to the downtown mall, and ate at Johnny Rockets, another favorite of ours. It's a sock-hop kind of place, with burgers, onion rings, and 5 cent jukebox songs right from your table. We got the original cheeseburger, a half and half order of fries and onion rings, and a cherry coke and a chocolate malt to split. We do that a lot, splitting I mean. Helps us both not to eat so much.
We looked around at the mall a bit more. And then went back to the room as hubby was not feeling very well at this point. We slipped back out later in the evening to get carry out at another favorite place, The Old Spaghetti Factory. Since hubby was still a little sick, we again just got one meal for splitting: spaghetti with brown butter sauce and mizithra cheese, garlic bread and a salad with their yummy one-of-a-kind pesto dressing. We headed back to the hotel room to eat the yummy meal and were amazed that we were eating dinner at 10 pm! Again, that never happens. Even pre-kiddos, that would have been rare. Our schedule was all messed up!
Sunday morning, we woke up at the more decent hour of 9 am, and again had breakfast room service. Mr. Dependable ordered his same meal from yesterday, while I decided on the granola pancakes. They were much better than the oatmeal, but still weren't my favorite. I'm picky about breakfast, I guess. But, in my defense, hubby makes the BEST pancakes ever! So, those pancakes had a lot to live up to.
Our package included a late check out, so we didn't end up leaving the hotel until around 1 pm. Then we did a bit more Christmas shopping, which included stops at two of my favorite stores in the whole wide world - Bearean Christian Bookstore and Archiver's Photo Memory Store. I bought two small things at Archivers. To be honest, I love the place, but as a former Creative Memories consultant, I'm sort of an in-the-box scrapbooker, so that place really overwhelms me. I want to use those products, but I just don't know how, and I don't have time to spend hours on each page. So, I guess I'll stick to my same ol', same ol' scrapbooking pages. At Berean, I got some Christmas presents for hubby, kiddos, and my secret pal from our women's leadership group at Roof-Crashers Bible study. I also got two books for moi. One was on sale for five dollars and the other was not on sale, but looked awesome. I'll try to share more about them in a future post.
Our last stop was JC Penney's where we were looking for a suit for my man. We ended up finding a great one. And it's long enough, which is a big bonus. He's a tall guy with a long torso, so that is constantly an issue for him. We got a shirt and tie to finish the look and that will be his Christmas present from me, plus something else, but I can't mention it here in case he's reading, which I doubt! And, bonus, he'll be wearing it next weekend to our sweet babysitter's wedding. She's moving. I'm sad. But I digress. Can I just brag on my man a bit here? He looked fabulous in his new suit. He used to wear shirts and ties for his job everyday. But several years ago, the company went "casual" and so I rarely get to see him all gussied up anymore. I loved it!
Then, off to mother's to pick up my babies! By now, I was missing the little people like crazy, especially baby. She still really needs me, you know? Or at least that's what I thought. Mom and aunt were telling me how awesome she was without me, quite low maintenance. So, I guess, what a difference a year makes! Last year when we went away, my mom was SO tired from a 4, 3 and 1 year old. This year, she didn't seem as tired. And the kiddos were able to stay at her house instead of her staying at ours which seemed to help.
On one final note, I must say thank you, thank you, thank you to aunt Marsha and Mom for letting us get away for two whole days. I wholeheartedly believe that you are contributing so much to the health of our marriage and family by allowing us to spend concentrated alone time together. So, again, a million thanks to you both! You are truly holding up my hands as a wife and a mother. So grateful.

Out of Town
Hubby and I will be out of town celebrating our 13th anniversary this weekend. I'm really looking forward to some child-free Christmas shopping, long leisurely dinners, and sleeping in ('til at least 8!). Many thanks to my sweet mommy and Aunt Marsha for keeping my children so that we can get away. It is a TRUE GIFT. Please be sure to touch base with me on Monday morning, when blogging shall most certainly resume.

Interesting Perspective
Today, my daughter who turns 4 in December, looked up at me during breakfast and said very seriously, "Thank you for letting me eat."
A little confused, I said, "You're welcome. Why do you say that?"
She cleared things up for me. "Well, 'member how you said I couldn't eat if I didn't eat my oatmeal last week? Well, you let me eat breakfast today. Thank you!"
I laughed to myself at her interesting way of looking at things. Yes, after she didn't eat her blueberry oatmeal one day last week, I did tell her that she would not be eating anything again until lunch. But obviously I didn't mean that she could never eat again! I guess that's what she really thought. That I would never ever feed her again. So, she just wanted to let me know today that she was thankful I was letting her eat this week. I started wondering if she'd been thinking how lucky she was for a whole week at each meal. Each time she sat down at the table, did she wonder if a plate would come for her? Goodness, if I think about it for too long, my false mommy-guilt radar will kick in!

End of Sabbath Prayer
While blog-surfing this evening, I found this precious prayer to end the Sabbath. I post it here in order to remember it and make it a regular part of our Sabbath observance. This prayer was written by the brothers of the Society of St. John the Evangelist:
A Prayer for the End of Sabbath
God of all creation, we thank you for the gift of our Sabbath rest;
keep company with us as we take up our work again,
and help us to know that, even in the midst of busy lives,
our hearts rest in you.
We ask these things in the name of Jesus, who is himself
our True Sabbath,
and who abides with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, in glory everlasting.
Amen
