Well, I'm off to Sao Paulo tomorrow with Margarita and Julio for their Destination Imagination competition. Thanks to me and my (irrational) fear of flying without my kids, Ballerina Girl and I are going to suffer through a bus ride (with 20+ kids) that takes anywhere from 5-8 hours, depending on whom you ask. Did I mention I get carsick?
Sounds like fun, eh?
It's a humbling experience for me to see Juan Carlos (6 years old) crying tonight because I'm leaving. I spend a fair amount of time feeling frustrated with my kids; so to see one of them crying because I'm not going to be here, when I sometimes feel like they'd be happier if I wasn't around nagging them about this or that, makes me feel grateful that kids love so unconditionally.
That's all. I'll be back Sunday.

Have a fun trip. I wish I were with you. I really do. I love long bus rides.
I hope you have a fun time and I hope that you don't get bus sick! It sounds like a loud, crazy time, which means you are a great mom for going. :-)
Good luck Margarita and Julio!
God bless you. I was wondering when that HUGE storm started yesterday, if you were arriving by bus or by plane.
And as per BG email you arrived in the middle of the storm.
I will call you later in the day today!!! Enjoy the crazy city ; )
