Busy, Busy

This week has been very busy. I can't believe it is already the end of the day on Thursday!

Week in Reveiw:

I brought the girls to the doctor again to have their ears checked. As I've mentioned before, when you bring a sick child into the doctor here and they prescribe medicine they want to see the child again for a "control" check so they can ensure the child is better. This is a good thing since that way I know if the ear infections are gone but it is also a pain in the rear end. The girls control appointment was on Monday morning at 8am which means leaving our apartment by 7:30am. This was a bit of a struggle but we made it and I got the girls to school by 9:30. The girls still had ear infections on Monday so we just kept them on the antibiotics. Hopefully the infections are gone by the end of the week.

Since I am class representative for both of the girls classes I have been quite busy with school things. I have had to gather data and compile spreadsheets with parent contact information as well as organize birthday presents for teachers. This week I organized a coffee morning for each class. This is a time for the parents to get together in the parent room at school and have coffee/tea cookies etc and chat and get to know each other better. Sofia's class has 7 new kids in it so it was a great opportunity to get to chat with them, although not all of them came to the coffee morning. Ali's class has some moms that already have kids at the school but there are a lot of new faces. Since some kids get picked up at noon and some at three you don't always get to see everyone nevermind have time to talk so it was great to see everyone. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone over the course of the year. Two of the other moms and I are going to run together after drop off next week. I'm excited to find other moms who can run with me. It will be nice to make new friends and it will be a new expereince for me to run with others since I always run by myself.

On Wednesday I met friends at my italian restaurant to celebrate my birthday. It was nice to have friends to celebrate my birthday with as well as have lunch at my favorite restaurant. It has made my birthday into quite a celebration this year.

This morning I was finally able to get together with a friend that I haven't seen in a while. She has been busy building a new house and I have been so busy with the girls that our schedules just haven't matched up. Well, we finally made it happen this morning. It was nice to just hangout and have tea and cake with a friend. Since everything has been so busy this week I completely forgot Sofia had Czech lessons today until I picked her up from school and she reminded me. It's a good thing she remembers her schedule otherwise we would have completely missed her lesson. We rushed home to get her Czech book and I dropped her off at her lesson. I came home and baked some chocolate chip cookies for the school bakesale tomorrow. Now I have to prep my running stuff for tomorrow so I can get up early and run before bringing the girls to school. Jason usually brings the girls to school but I am going in tomorrow as well since the girls will be singing in the Harvest Assembly. Sofia is very excited about singing and keeps checking with me to make sure I'm going to be there so I can't miss it.
