A Pet!! A Pet!! A Pet!!!

The kids started school this week!!!! I am so excited and so are they! Since we got here, every time we drive into the complex, and Emma sees her school she squeals, "School mommy! My school!" So she has just been itching to go back. I have been itching for them to go too. I have to admit, I have been having a difficult time here this time. I do like it here, that hasn't changed, but I have felt very isolated this last month. Emma and Charlie have been bored I think, and they have been getting destructive and cranky. I still don't really have friends here, and there isn't really anything for me and the kids to do other than stuff in the neighborhood. I have been feeling a little like i've been in a prison. It is great when we are with Carlos going to do stuff, but I feel like my whole life revolves around when Carlos gets home from work. So I get very stressed when he is late, or if he has to work through lunch. I hate that feeling. It is so much better when I have stuff to occupy my time and my mind. It is hard too because most people work. I do have some friends here, but they all work, so that doesn't fix my problem during the day. One of our friends though might know someone who can give me Spanish classes! Fingers crossed. That will help a lot because it will be easier for me to make friends around the neighborhood if my Spanish is a little better.

I did find a friend here though! She speaks English, and has a daughter close to Emma's age! She even agreed that there is not a lot to do with kids here, so I felt a little better that I wasn't just being dramatic!

Also, in very big and exciting news: We are getting a puppy!!!!! Another little pug is coming into the Prada clan! I am so excited because as I have said before, my kids need a pet! Whenever we go out and see a dog, both of them squeal in excitement and want to pet it. They are going to FLIP when they see our new little family member! I will post later with pictures of her!
