I hate Kuwait when...

I try my best to be a good ROLE model... When I am out with the kids I try not to show my tail... HOWEVER, it is very difficult at times! Sometimes I want to step on those abayas... (Oppps, So Sorry!)

1. People cut me in line... (I know you see me! I am 5'9"... and PALE!!! You see me!)


2. People flash their lights at me! I have NO WHERE to go! There is a car beside me... Scotty, Please  Beam me up so I do not get RAN OFF the road!


3. Take a picture! I am NOT a freak of nature... STOP STARING! Rude!


4. I hate when people throw trash out of their windows as well... I hate how dirty Kuwait is... It is the worst when the wind is out... It doesn't matter how many guys in those ORANGE jumpsuits are cleaning the streets... It is still DIRTY!

Yes- This is life. Sometimes I get SO upset... But I cannot control others. I can just try to keep the kiddies doing the right things.

5. Where is your child's safety seat? I hate to see the kids jumping around in the car! These roads are DANGEROUS!

Another thing that I see all the time that puzzles me...
Why are the kids in the family dressed in the SAME exact outfits? There could be 4 different kids, all different ages... And they are ALL wearing the SAME outfit... Am I the only one who finds that STRANGE?

Blogs I found...

Today I went on a mission to find some Kuwait Blogs to read since... Honestly- I am running out of ideas on what to do, when and where to do it... I eat and shop almost EVERY weekend!

To Google I go...

Expats' Children Allowed to Enroll

‘No need to wait for completion of residence’

KUWAIT CITY, Dec 6: The Ministry of Interior has agreed to allow the children of expatriates, who entered the country on dependent visas and are now waiting for the completion of the processing of their residence permits, to enroll in private schools and universities, reports Al-Watan Arabic daily quoting sources.
Sources explained the ministry took the decision in response to the request of its education counterpart. Sources said the decision allows expatriates to register their children without the need to wait for the completion of residence formalities — the usual cause of delay in the enrollment of foreign students. Sources added the decision is applicable only on those who have not exceeded the time limit mentioned in the visa for completion of the residence permit procedures.

 How come I am just seeing this? Gustavo and I took the kids down to register them at The English School Fahaheel http://www.skee.com/  they were given a test and guess what? They were accepted:) So our days of homeschooling are almost over. I have really been trying my hardest to keep them busy with school work. There is only one problem... Putting the kids in school in KUWAIT is very expensive. Like the cost of college tuition!!! I guess this is another sacrifice that must be made! Now I see why many Americans do not bring their families. I wish we would have brought them when they were younger!
