OMG!!! So much to do, so little time...

Dear friends,
so sorry I haven*t been writing lately!! I~ve been caught up in school activities, opening boxes, getting around.
We finally moved to our house last Sunday, the day before school began... We got the beds on Friday and we sorted out some things, but we are still way off to being settled in.
As of right now we don]t have internet, phone, tv, and my cell phone broke down yesterday night. Yes, I*m still alive...
The internet-phone-cable people came today and they told me they could not install it because the house was not prepared for it, we need to call someone in to open holes in the walls and bring the cable from the street!!!!!!!!!!!! uuuuggggghhhh. So, I already called someone and they are coming Friday morning to see what they need for that, probably get it done on Saturday, and then I need to get another appointment with the cable guys... so we*re probably talking another week!!!
I was freaking out yesterday when I wanted to call my friend Amber to wish her happy birthday, plus |I~ve got accounts to pay and other things to do, like this blog, and keep in touch with everybody. I finally got to this internet cafe, far away from home and wher only one computer really works for me... sort of, I can~t find the apostrophe...

I started goetting a little desperate this week when the kids went off to school. They leave at 6:10 am and come back close to 5 pm. Fernando went to Chile this week, so I~ve been basically by myself all day long... not nice. I try to focus on the good, on the work, on the memories, on the pictures I have!
Anyway, I will write all the things I want to convey at home, put it in a drive and bring it back tomorrow...
I finally met a neighbor, great experience! Tell you about that tomorrow.

bye to all (my 5 readers), all great friends- and cuz! Thanks for being there.
Luv ya.
Di

  1. I figured you had been really busy with getting into the house! Is this the beginning of the new school year? I wondered how school works in Rio. I'm sure Alan will be adjusting just fine, especially as he seems to be learning Portuguese fairly quickly! We're on vacation right now - in Estes Park, CO. First time here & we're with a family friend. Went hiking up a mountain 12,454 ft. high - Brian & I were exhausted!!! Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park is absolutely wonderful! We leave for home Friday morning, and I go back to school on Aug. 14.
