While Missy has been working in Orlando this week with the United States Dance Championships, I have had the luxury of getting Drew and Mariah to school and other activities.
Well the things started happening the very first morning. I set my alarm for 6:30am just like I was suppose to do, however, for some reason my phone did not change when I got here. It was an hour and 12 minutes behind. How could this happen, fortunately Drew woke up at 7:10 and got us up and moving. We made on time after all. Whew!
Mariah likes school so much she does not want to leave. She has made a friend, Layla and they have to play for 20 or more minutes on the playground.
Tuesday all went well up until after school, when I was to take Mariah to a place for her tennins lesson, again a mix up with her coach who thought he was meeting us at a different court,although he was the one who told us to go to the court we went too. So after waiting for about 20 minutes with Mariah and her not so patient self, this was not too fun.
Wednesday was open house day and this was just great. There were many parents attendening and all went well. Then we tried to go to our pool only to find out that they are resurfacing or repainting it, so no fun here back to the happy house.
By Thursday the school thing is all going fine but when I came home to load some music on my computer to download on Drew and Mariah's mp3's I find out that my DVD-CDRW player on my computer is missing. The darn thing does not read any thing put into it. I could not rip the two new cd's I got for them. After several hours of trying to fix it I gave up and will try tomorrow. After school, Drew was to go to baseball. Here is where Missy does a great job, however I am not as determine to make everything happen so when we could not find the director of the field and since our spanish is very lacking I just said Drew you sit here in the stands while Mariah and I go get some ice cream. When we returned sure enough Drew was in the outfield and was playing. Kids can work things out if they really want too.
Friday was a Super day. Mariah had her tennis lesson and her backhand is starting to become a reality. Her forehand is still chopping at flies but in time she will improve, she really likes it in the high heat of the day. The only thing that could have went off course today was when I tried to find the German butcher shop. I was driving looking for it and I passed it so I was going to turn around and put my blinker on and was about to turn left when a car was speeding by and passing me on the left. A very near miss.. Double yellow lines have no meaning here, and if you do not use the mirrrors at all times it is very dangerous. No sudden moves here and no afterthoughts. This must be a very alert and cautious way of driving. The cars and motor conchos(motor scooters) are flying by all the time both on the left and the right.
The weekend is coming up and Missy will be home on Sunday Night, I can't wait, but I must.
until next time
