Diary of a Confused mom (in Morocco): April 27th 2017

O left for his first overseas sports trip today.

As he walked away, I felt the tears were going to explode out..

Harder than I thought and makes me realize I will be a basket case when it's time for my kids to leave home.

A good friend of mine recently posted a picture of herself with beautiful nature in the backdrop and the caption "In my element."

As I was sweating away in my exercise class today I remembered her because I realized at that point I was in my element.

Diary of a Confused Mom (in Morocco): April 24th 2017

Perfectly casual (and somewhat typical) conversation with my 12 year old today:

Me: Do you think X (one of his peers) is nice?

O: Ummm.. X took a mental age test and got 7.

Me: What do you think your mental age is?

O: I got 35.

Not in the least bit surprised.

T rolled in with a cup of coffee for me this morning.

And speaking of pleasant events:

They're back!

Z got his first stitches today. Two layers were required.

I did a Zumba class today and realized that I love many things but 'my element' involved movement, exertion and sweat!

I also found something that tops my list for things I love about living in Rabat:

Amazing mulberries sold at the organic farm.

Zumba and mulberries, today was a good day :)

It's mulberry season and we're picking berries from the trees in our neighborhood every evening on our walks. Nothing like ripe mulberries picked right off the tree.
