Hope all is well and your family is enjoying some outdoor time - Quick! While it lasts! :-)Intlxpatrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006170014488459730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34759951.post-44500243069299058702010-01-20T09:43:16.490-08:002010-01-20T09:43:16.490-08:00Intxpatr: Evidently you do know me :) I have, in f...Intxpatr: Evidently you do know me :) I have, in fact, already budgeted in one week of cushion time to care for the inevitable sick child and/or handle an unexpected delay or emergency. <br /><br />Hannah is doing well in school, though she's still having a hard time making friends there. She just happens to be in a homeroom where the other American girls are particularly shy and quiet. We weren't able to get her medication b/c our main campus was closed during the break. An HR rep has to be the one to input a drug/prescription override in order for us to fill a 6-month supply of her medicine. Luckily, my dad is a pharmacist, and he happened to have about 30 days worth of the meds at home...we have just enough to last until Spring Break, when Hannah and Hubby will be back in the States. The youngest two girls are doing well, as usual...thank you for asking!<br /><br />And I totally get the hunger wake-up call upon the return to Doha. We usually end up having PB&Js downstairs in our jammies at 4:00 a.m. the first couple nights after we get back :)AcadeMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510282285225998011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34759951.post-45130449596825580052010-01-16T21:25:33.807-08:002010-01-16T21:25:33.807-08:00The time change takes longer than we think.

Sometimes my tummy wakes me up in the middle of the night for weeks!<br /><br />I don't know you, but I am betting you are preparing NOW to defend your dissertation, banking hours against those unforeseen events which can play havoc with a well planned schedule.<br /><br />How are the kids doing? How is Hannah doing in school? Were you able to get her medication?Intlxpatrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006170014488459730noreply@blogger.com
