Missing words

SO....YES, I know it's been a really long time since I last logged in. I suppose I was at a standstill with things..Life, happenings, events, feelings..they all just sorta seemed bland. LIfe is picking up..However, I am felt with an empty feeling for the time being, and it goes in waves of just plain feeling sick about missing family.
I knew it would be hard, being away from familiar faces, feeling like I am being of some support system and like I am being needed from my elders. I know this is just temporary..but DAMN, I hope it's all worth it in the end.
So far, the crossing out of credit cards has been rewarding.
I started working, kaia started pre-school. She loves it...as far as I can tell. She wakes up in the morning and seems thrilled by the idea. THe j-o-b is fine..what can I say..it's paying the bills and a great resource for meeting friends and buddies for kaia. I was offered JV Swimmming coach position and I took it. It meets a whopping 4 times a week..and we are just now getting started...It's fun..and the Varsity coach/south african fella..we seem to make a good team. I get a trip out of it, which I think will be neat, our Meets will be in Doha, Qatar for one week. Super Cool!!
Jeff is doing well, he is happy and just got himself a Surfboard. He is taking his first trip to Oman next week where there are supposed to be some decent waves. I am really happy that he has found a hobby here that keeps him going..and in shape..
HIm and kaia literally..I could leave overnight and I would find them the next day still in the water..My little fishies..where I could sit in the COLD woods and be fine..happy as a clam How did that happen???
It is now Ramadan..well its almost over. But it's really been hard during the days when you are on a road trip...No restuarants open..and if you're eating food in public or drinking water..and a cop sees you..YOu could be given a ticket or fined.
It's much different here than say..Egypt.
