week one....

Back on business!.... Got a cell phone and internet! Veeerrryyy slowwww internet but enough for now…eight days seems like little but when you can not find the place to take a bus, can not tell your family you got well, can not find out why your credit card is not working, don’t have the address of your new house, or have money but don’t know where you can find a place to get the currency……and have two little ones dragging everywhere you go for answers, when you don’t speak the language….it seems like unreal, like a mistake, close to an error….but also i feel glad I knew this life in my deep skin, I am not defeated, but I am scare….and here we are, ready for what is coming, lots of papers to fill, lots of waist hours, hopefully soon, sometime to live….

PD, I step on dog poop twice this week….i hate this place….

Looks….on US nobody care when I spoke Spanish, actually I like to speak with my husband in spanish when we have something secretly to say…..or when we didn’t want the kids to know (that didn’t last much cause the kids learn Spanish too)….here, is weird to find somebody speaking English, so when my kids talk to me, we have some heads turning in our direction….i wish I shouldn’t care but I always get all the colors of the rainbow in mi face when this happens….and my kids prefer to speak English, and men, they do speak….

First day of school….right now school is off for a month, it is fall break…..but we went to visit a school a friend recommend for my kids, a good one a must say, there is no better place a friend can recommend to you than the one her own kids go to….

Library?.....we found a book store at the mall nearby, it is around 10-12 blocks from our building…..i like the kids section so I ask the manager if it was allow to read the books, she said it was ok, but the kids need to be supervised, if unsupervised there was a bunch of old books they can  play with plus some legos beside the benches…..so one day we tried, first we read the old ones, then I got a new one with nice pictures, but it was not a good experience, maybe it was me, as always lacking some confidence, but as soon as we took the book, one employer was going around our bench….emily try to point some pictures, and I didn’t let her touch it, Emily wanted to read but the lady going around us drove me nuts and I just let Emily  see some pictures very fast and then return the book as soon as I could…so we decided  was best just to play with the legos for now…….later a found a real library on the internet, but it will take me one hour to get there, by car….i don’t have one yet…..but you will see when I get one! :)
