Remember Me?

Do you ever not blog for a while, and then when you go to start, it's really really hard?

That's where I'm at right now, so I figure I am just going to post a little nothing post to get me started again.

Quick review:

-My BIL "WonderBoy" was, in fact, able to fix my computer a couple weeks after it died on me. I didn't have any software on it though until we got back to Brazil on Saturday. It's good to be reunited with my computer again.

-The vacation with the maid was wonderful-I highly recommend it! I've decided I really only want a maid when I go on vacation; now that I'm back in my normal life I'm finding myself annoyed by having someone in my house again.

-Returning to a home in a country that is not home, no matter how cool, fun, and pretty the country is, is hard. Sometimes it is harder than others. This is one of those times.

-Returning home in first class does make it a tad bit easier. Guapo was upgraded and like the gentleman he is, he gave me his seat while he somehow managed the 16 hours of flight time with the 4 kids ALONE. Do I have the best husband or what?

-My kids started school yesterday. Because their summer was so quick (7 weeks), and we were gone for all but 2 days of it, it doesn't feel like they are starting a new year but just picking up where they left off in June. But, alas, it's true: Juan Carlos (5 years old) is really starting kindergarten this year.

-And I have an annoying cold that is making me grouchy (in case you didn't notice).

So that's what we're doing. I lost my bloglines info with the computer crash, but slowly but surely I will make it to visit you soon. :)

Your husband is amazing!!! I think that being in first class sans kids would be my idea of flying heaven.

I feel exactly the same when I haven't blogged for a while! I really have to force myself.

It's so nice to hear from you again! You had 16 hours ALONE on the plane in first class?...how sweet is that?! You DO have a great husband!

I hope your kids have a great school year. Enjoy your time with Pedro. He'll be joining his siblings before you know it. Then what are you going to do with yourself???

Get better soon.
