Daily Diary – January 11 2010

Apologies for the delay today. We had guests over last night and by the time they left I had to go to sleep.

Here’s Nathaniel in action.

Mondays are very hectic for us. It just feels like a rush after the quiet of the weekend and I have an afternoon meeting close to dinner time which throws off the evening into a mad rush. But this week the meeting was canceled so that made the day a bit easier and meant we could slow down a bit which was a welcome change.

I got a lot done today. After I dropped off David at school, I went to the school he will attend next year for a tour. Then I called several embassies for all my paperwork. Then I got a ton of work done and by the end of the day I felt spent but also happier. Still have to make that to do list though. Haven’t gotten in the groove of the year yet and it’s halfway through January.

Note to Self:
We had dinner with four of Jake’s friends from college. It was neat being in the same room with people who went to the same college as I did and rehash some old memories. My first years in America were so different than my life now and I often wish I could go back and re-live them with all that I know now. I bet I will say that about my kids later, too. But life doesn’t work that way, of course. It goes in the order it does.

Three things I’m grateful for today:
1. Dinner with new-old friends. It’s nice to have company and adults to talk to.
2. Getting to see where David will go to kindergarten. Living close to a good school.
3. My meeting being canceled. Nothing like getting an hour of your life back.
