Sofa and daily life
Chillin at home on my new sofa. So nice to have my very own soft place to sit. In my last house here I just had a bed and a table and chairs, my body just relaxed when I said that. I am sitting on my very own couch and it is com-for-ta-ble. The other couch that I was going to get was $900 for 2 matching pieces. I thought it was too hard and not very well put together but affordable for a new couch at least the ones that I saw. Then at the last moment, I decided to buy one large couch that was more soft and comfortable. One that my dad wouldn’t complain about. I could just imagine my dad sitting in the other one that we were going to get and I could only imagine what he would say.
Other than that Ben starts school tomorrow and that worries me a little cuz he is my baby, the fact that he doesn’t speak Portuguese very well and I won’t be able to watch him with the other kids. He says that he is excited and I am sure it will be ok, Ben is a fun kid and likes people. If he only learns how to play and speak Portuguese this year I will feel it as a major accomplishment. I am going to keep Gabriela at home with me this year and spend some more quiet time with her. It is hectic with the two kids at the same time as Ben torments Gabi and then Gabi screams and my head explodes. I think we will all be getting what we want now for a while. I am teaching a class at 6am and 6pm now, haven’t see 5am for a while.
