Any tips on getting back to reality and real life after 2 weeks of sleeping/eating/sleeping/eating/relaxing/no troubles/worries etc?
is purim over yet? wait i’m confused!
Real Life-what’s that?
Jax, purims not over, we’re still here, preparing for purim 5770 in YERUSHALAYIM!!!
kapusta: good, i’m not the only one thinking this!
Re anonymouse: I’m married with kids and I get this. It means, having to wake up kids, not sleeping in yourself if the kids are old enough to be on their own safely, homework, and yeah, worrying about real life issues like job security etc. that you put on hold when in yom tov mode.
But B”H so far so good 😉
I am so settled back into routine I cant believe Pesach was only last week!! I mean once u go back to work and the kids are back at school, u just get thrown in!
I think by the end of this day (first day back to real life for most of us) noone will need any tips on how to get back to reality. The first day is always the hardest.
My first day was Friday, I went to work and B”H baked challah, if that is not getting into the swing of things, then what is!!!
I could have happily stayed Pesachdig through the weekend.
oomis, I wouldn’t have minded much myself. But my children were very pleased to eat toast motzai pesach.
Poll: Did anyone stay pesachdik thru shabbos? I would have had no problem with it, but like anon, my kids would not have appreciated it.
yeah i got back into things too… i love when school’s in session – i get to sleep without little kids coming in and out 😉
charlie: NO over here! And anyways, some pressure to finish up with everything is good. If not, turning over just drags on and on.
Mrs YW Moderator-72, Jr. Moderator-72, and I baked 10 pounds of Challah (5lbs. Whole Wheat and a sugar substitute and 5lbs. Regular Wheat and real sugar) e’Shabbos.
We even had time to distribute some of the challahs as we do each month. http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/challah-group-in-zchus-of-the-people-in-mumbai
-72: WOW!! you guys deserve a standing ovation!!
72, is that why there was no moderating on friday 😉
Having major problems with sleeping patterns – sleeping in the afternoon on Yom Tov in order to be able to have a full night (with learning after the meal) has messed up my normal sleeping patterns – it hopefully will not take too long to revert back to normal
we still have about 6 lbs 0f matzah Shmurah and 4 boxes of regular matzah to finish. Instead of waiting on insanely long lines at the pizza store, Motzei Pesach, we made matzah pizza. We had Matzah pizza again for Sunday lunch. Please don’t tell me to make it into Matzah meal. I have 5 boxes of those leftover. My brother came by yesterday to drop off something and asked If I wanted 4 lb boxes of regular Matzah. I said he had to be kidding and please find another taker!! LOL
mepal say that again, I was dreaming of my bed the entire day! I think I’ll head over there after some good, chometz, supper.
moish, watch it with the school comment…
mod72: wow that’s so amazing what mod family72 did!
72, that is so nice of you.
Mrs. 72 gets the credit
Kapusta: just in case you were wondering, WE FINISHED THE PESACH CAKE!! Now the fun begins!
In the old days, there was always at least 5 boxes of leftover matzo…
so areivim, that means a) you were very machnis orchim (shkoyach) and b) you shopped wisely.
I had several boxes of shemurah left over, so we donated a couple to our shul to make a neilas hachag seuda, and one box I gave to my friend after yom tov because she really LOVES shemurah matzah.
you should have come here. there are about 3 lbs of hand-made and two boxes (are they one-pound boxes?) of machine left. no one’s going to touch them, i can assure that much.
oomis, how do people with no teeth eat enjoy matzah? i guess your friend is a lot younger than you are… 😉
mepal, FINALLY! you sure took your time though.
moish, how much matzah do you expect to eat to overbuy like that? by us its usually a pound and some.
i didn’t buy anything. that’s my parents faults. thank the good aibeshter we don’t have any crazy rules around here… we’d all starve till next pesach – there’s no way that’s getting eaten.
well then next year maybe tell your parents not to overbuy, thats crazy to throw away so much. and dont you ever use matzah meal during the year?
oh is that what you do with it? could be.
and i don’t tell my parents what to do. let them figure it out on their own. i’m not butting in.
try it, (I wont ask if you cook, as in not milkshakes,)
and just what I like, a rodef shalom!
Are we the only strange family who loves eating shmurah matzah year round?
haha why is it used in everything? i wouldn’t know.
and try what? (there’s no way that’s entering my milkshake!)
not everything, some things… take up cooking, its fun.
try making matzah meal, NOT in your milkshake.
btw, Jax, I never got that ice cream…

oomis, how do people with no teeth eat enjoy matzah? i guess your friend is a lot younger than you are… 😉 cholav stam butter…
beacon: yeah your the only ones! although i really do love shmurah matzah on pesach, by chol hamaoed i already had enough of it!
mapel: what took you guys so long to finish it?
kapusta: well i did get it for you! check the freezer!
Jax, nah, theres some chicken and meat and some leftover pesach cake for my good friend mepal…
kapusta: i’ll go out in the rain to get you some then! with cookie dough right?
Jax, thanx. yes, chocolate chip cookie dough please.
kapusta: coming right up!
For Kapusta, Jax and all the rest of the concerned CR members:
1. we only wait to finish pesach CAKE before buying/making chometz ones. We’re not forced to choke down the rest of the matzah before being aloud to eat bread/challah/bagels/pizza etc.-thank goodness.
2. we know that if rule #1 was not in effect, the cake would stay in the freezer until it rots.
3. the reason it took us all that long to finish the cake is, because we had lots of guests second days (u proud oomis?) so we OVERBAKED! But thank goodness, with a lot of siyata D’shmaya and help from above, the cakes are history and we can now gorge in on all the chometz cakes in the world.
and kapusta, NO THANKS. Keep those pesach cakes in your freezer to yourself. They’re probably freezerburnt by now anyways 🙂
mepal: okay, i’m no longer worried about ya!
