Oh my... this house thing has become kind of stressful. That's it. I"m stressed out.
It makes me smile to even say this... because in our misfortune we might have to live in a beautiful open concept, bright see through, slick architecture beach home in Mexico... but the patio and the pool are kind of small. Boo hoo.
In my efforts to find us a good home for when our friends will visit, everything we saw that had a good size pool and patio had other big set backs... and now the one house that the agent has been pushing for is looking pretty good indeed. I will go see 2 more houses tomorrow after I teach, and then I will cast my final vote so that we can settle this once and for all. Bam!
With all this, the boys have missed a few school shifts this week and we are behind on that front. We only have 3 weeks left, and part of me is dying to just let go and make it a carefree loosy goosy time, but for their sake I must keep it up... at least until the last week. They're in for a shock when they will go back to school... hopefully it will only be a couple of weeks to re-adapt.
Oh yeah, I did open my music books... was it on Monday? It lasted about 15 minutes. There are a couple of spanish kids songs germinating in my mind though... one about Ranchero Samuel, going by with his 10 cows, then with his 10 goats, and so on with any other farm animal. Another one is about Don Pichi, the joyful fellow who built the ranch house we rented. In the song, he is hungry and goes to the market to get... one taco, two salbutes, three panuchos, four flautas and five... something else. Counting songs and animal songs are a lot of fun, and they're great to teach a language.
Okay, I have to prepare for my classes now... and eat dinner for crying out loud!
