Hubby is gone traveling for the week and I have low motivation to do much of anything. The kitchen needs cleaning, I need to water the garden (a complicated task because the hose is too short and I have to string it across the garage to make it reach better), I should get in the shower, and the floors are always waiting. And then I think, no one is coming home tonight, or over for a visit today, who is going to care or notice but me? We have been watching the BBC Life series and it is so fantastic. The kids and I are always riveted and amazed by the complexity of the world around us. Oddly enough, the Venus Fly Trap plants seem to be one of their favorites. It is overcast today. Not dark like it is going to rain, just gray. Spring break is next week and the girls are planning to sleep out in the tent. I am hoping our car arrives and we can drive to the snow and to the coast. Reading other blogs of our friends back in the US makes me remember how much we are missing out on.
I went running on Saturday for the first time since we arrived. The sun is so bright that I seem to wake up every morning about 6:30. When papi returns I plan on making that my running time as long as we don't stay up too late.
