It was so so good to be back in the beautiful USA for 3 weeks for Christmas. Our first week back in India was a little rough, just getting used to India again. We're settled in again and doing OK.
Last week was a bit crazy though. The British headmaster of the kids' school was arrested and then fired. This made national news in India and the press has gone crazy with the story. Long, long story that I probably shouldn't write about in this forum.
My kids are fine and were not harmed. Although, it is hard for them to grasp that someone they looked up to and admired has allegedly done some bad things.
My kids have continued to go to school along with all the other kids at their school . However, we have started looking at other international schools. I hate for them to have to adjust to yet another school, but not sure their current school is a good place right now. As if this place isn't hard enough to deal with.
Also last week, our stove was apparently having some sort of gas leak and exploded and caught on fire, while I was trying to cook. So, my eye brows, eye lashes, and some of my hair is now missing! I was ready to pack my bags and come back home. I was thinking that must have been some sort of sign. I've calmed down again. I guess this is just life in India!
On a lighter note, we went to a state park type of place about an hour outside of Bangalore called Nondi Hills, where the monkeys run free! It was crazy, monkeys everywhere. I'll post some pics.
So overall we really are doing OK. I know people get arrested and stoves blow up in the USA too, just seems more of that crazy kind of stuff happens here and to me!
Hope everyone is doing well!
