This week I had a crazy week at home, I can say it was house full of kids. Between nephews and neighbor boy and girls I had an average of five kids per day in the pool.

I hope all my readers had a wonderful Christmas and that 2010 brings you all the best.

I’ve been silence around here because these last 3 weeks were very difficult for us, especially for me.

It all started on December 19th when at around 7.00 pm I received the news that my dear neighbor Laura (yes, that’s my name too) …

Yesterday it was my last working day before my vacations and my older boss made me the favor of ruin everything. For the last 6 months I am doing the work of two people. I work my lunch hour, I arrive earlier in the morning, I stay after my leaving hour but even so the …

Today I’ didn’t work as well as tomorrow. We got lucky this year and we got too public holidays one following the other. Today it’s Dia de Portugal (Portugal Day) and tomorrow Corpus Christi, Friday I will go back to work.

In the morning (I’m writing on the night before) at 9.30am my son has a football game. He is going to participate in a football school tournament in a local park. Almost all basic schools from the city are participation that’s why they call it a School Circuit City of Football (European Football) .

Today he has …

Before the pool I had little time to blog now, I have less time. Let me explain.

Before the pool:
We usually arrive home at 7pm, the kids watch some tv while I prepare dinner, just before dinner is ready there are the baths and then dinner. Afterwards some TV for the kids while I blog a little and than …

Yesterday (Saturday) I had a rather calm day. In the morning I cleaned my kitchen while the kids where playing around, we got out to buy food for the turtles and some plastic curtains for the kitchen door. I want to keep flies away…

In the afternoon my kids and 4 more neighbours spend the afternoon playing in the garden, …

Yesterday I thought I was going to have a relax day although I know with all the housework and kids to take care is a little difficult to accomplish that.

Today it was an important holiday here “Carnation Revolution“, and although I already knew my son was having a birthday party in the afternoon, I thought I was …

Interesting news, my friend’s wedding will take place on June 9th, 2008 at 12.30.  Did you notice it? June 9th is a Monday, meaning I’ll be working, my husband will be working and my kids will be at school. As June 10th is a public holiday, my friend thinks that most people won’t work on Monday to have a long …

The pain hasn’t got away yet. I spend most of the afternoon trying to nap in the couch, the kids were always making noise and waking me up, but I manage to get some rest. The pain is still here on my neck, back and shoulders, if I get worse than this I have to go to the doctor.

To …

I’ve been in a lot of pain these last days. Shoulders, neck and thorax have been killing me lately. I know what it is, accumulated anxiety and stress from these last weeks. Yesterday I barely could move my head but still, I spend all day in the office working and screaming each time I had to make a sudden movement. …

There was no big birthday party for Catherine this year. She turned 4 last Saturday but due to Easter holiday most family and friends were away for the weekend.

She’s too young to mind about that and what she wants is presents.

She had a birthday cake and we sang the birthday song together with her godfather (my youngest BIL) …
