Ellen In Amerika!

Last week was a sort of unforgettable week! On Tuesday, I was very early at the school, so I finally got the chance to call my sister Marja through Skype on my cell phone, and I asked how her weekend in Amsterdam was. She had a great time with her husband. I was so glad to hear that, [...]

After 3 weeks of Christmas vacation, I was more than ready to go back to work. And it was wonderful again. Within half an hour, the kids were already back into their “routine.” My little girl is having some problems with the schoolbus. We can’t figure out what triggers her, but she is trembling when she get off the bus, and according to her grandmother who puts her on the bus in the morning, she is scared to get on the bus. We have mentioned it to the schoolbus division of our city, and we’ll see what is going to happen. The busdriver is not the most open minded woman, but that should not imply that my student has to be scared. She should feel safe on the bus.

Already it is Wednesday evening. Time flies! So far a pretty easy week. Not much work other than in the house. Monday morning I received a phone call from the school district. They have a long term assignment for me with the school I like so much! I’ll start next Wednesday. I can’t wait, to be honest.

Please let me know if you like this temporary new look for the blog. It has less features than the previous one, but man, I love the look! I will work this week on the pages in the top menu to make them all visible. If you want to leave a comment, click on the title of this post. That opens this post again, but then on the bottom of the page, you will see the field for leaving comments.

Yesterday, my nephew Remco had his birthday, and today my friend Sonja is the birthday girl. Congrats to you both!!

Again it has been a pretty busy week. 1 day off in 10 days is not exactly what I wished for This new life of mine is so different, but still I enjoy it. Even when it is getting a bit too much. And, dear, dear Joy, I am okay. I am very touched by your comment, you asked if I were okay!
