We have been keeping busy as usual, with our weekday and weekend routines. Love the structure, but hate the lack of time to freely do things. The only day to take lessons is on the weekend when I am not overly tired from a 9.5 hour day. We close at 2 PM on Fridays so that means we add 30 minutes extra to our work day Monday through Thursday. The fact that my schedule is not set and I may work longer hours, depending on needs of the front office, makes it all that much more difficult.
Friday went to valentine party at the consul's house. She had a small pool but fortunately the water wasn't too cold so the kids had a bit of fun. Some of the kids could not come because of the cold that's going around. I can't wait to get all better as now I too, have the sore throat.
Swimming time for kids. Paddle!
One of the pleasures about living in a developing country is that things that you do can be an innovation to the community. I have been a fan of Zumba since it became very popular in the States and it's fairly new here. I'm starting my own group since there are not too many instructors and am now motivated to perhaps learn to be an instructor or leader. You get to do things that aren't so "new" back home and helping out the community as well. I got all kinds of ideas going now, such as doing a cake-ball class or even suggesting to our hair stylist that maybe she should do a class on styling hair. A skill that the ladies can benefit from. You can try a new business out as a pilot..maybe you can do as well back home.
Looking forward to a short work week..continuing the challenges we have met while discovering new things all the time. Things that I never did back home, are now becoming routine.
Great ideas to packaging cake balls
Great way to give is to put them in a clear box and sell.
