Guilty/Bummed
My office gets as busy as it currently is approximately once every two to three years.
With Mendon and Kristen here with us on their honeymoon, I am:
a) bummed because I'm working 8 - 12 hour days, with no chance of a day off and can therefore spend limited time with them,
b) feeling guilty because if I were able to spend more time with them I could take them around Israel a bit and show them some of the cool stuff that is Israel,
c) holding onto my sanity with a bare thread because the volume of work we have is dizzying! [not to mention, you know, all the stressors that have been dominant within my blog for the past, oh, two months].
That last one isn't related to Kristen and Mendon. I got distracted.
It feels like this is one of those moments when I think, "if I can get through this I can get through anything." The last time I thought that I was writing my master's thesis and studying for my oral and written exams (I hate orals, just so you know, in my opinion they are evil).
I suppose this would be an appropriate time to think that.

Hey Mara! When my parents came to visit, I was in rehearsals for the play I was doing! So not only was I working during the day, but most often I had evening rehearsals as well! But while my parents and my brother were there, they just had a great time themselves, enjoying being in Israel. I was able to take off a half day to go out to Bahji together, which was very nice. But I'm sure they are enjoying their time there, even if you are feeling torn.

Can you help them get sherouts to see places you can't take them to? I wish you could take them to Bet She'an and to the restaurant we went to. If you did, I would want you to take a picture of all the wonderful 'salads' they served with the bread.
On another note, it just struck me how funny it was that on Christmas Eve in a Jewish State (Israel) a Japanese restaurant was serving a Christmas meal.

Actually, it was a Hanukka meal, not a Christmas meal.

That makes much more sense.
