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,…

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…

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.

My son had another birthday party from a school…

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) .

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

There is a Dani girlfriend from her school class spending the afternoon with us. Being both 9 I understand it’s difficult to include my almost 4 years old daughter in the play. She just keeps getting in the way and things got rough now. Catherine ended up crying and after several warns I had…
