SaturdaySix - Episode 329

While visiting the participants of Saturday 9 I came across this meme: SaturdaySix and I wanted to play. So here we go... 1. How many different spices are there in your kitchen? Oh, I don't know but at least 20... I love using spices and since I've lived in different cultures I tend to cook things from all the places I've lived. 2. Of the spices...

Saturday 9: Bad Day

It's time to get back to the memes. One of my favorite memes is Saturday 9: Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage...

Getting back to the calendar habit

I've been FLYing on and off for several years now. My home is far from perfect, but for each period I manage to FLY it's getting better. I guess it's a all about making a total change of lifestyle, because if you're not organized it's so much harder to keep your home nice and tidy, unless you can afford to pay someone to do the job for you. I'm definitely NOT the organized type of person when it gets to doing things in my home, but once again I've decided it's time to get back on track. One thing I really like about FLYing is that once you get...

New month, new habits

Today is the last day of July and tomorrow starts a whole new month. August.... It's always been one of my favorite months and I'm really happy it's here again. So many good things happen in August... When I was a kid I used to love it because of my birthday, *lol* And because school starts in August in Sweden. I always loved the whole "going back to school circus". Nowadays I love August because of other things too, like my DS2's birthday (the same as mine actually, he's my best birthday present ever) and because there are so many good things...

Need some help with rhymes

I'm preparing a new English course. Those of you who have been readong my blog for a while already know that I'm a teacher at a small private school and among other things I teach English. Well, tomorrow I start up a new group and today I have to prepare the coming clases. Everything went just great and then all of a sudden I got kind of blocked. :-( I just can't figure out these rhymes. I know, they are fairly basic, but somehow I just got stuck... Please please please, help me with this: It lives in the forest and rhymes with near. It's sneaky...

Bloggers Unite

Those of you who know me, know that I'm a person with very strong felings towards the weak in society. I think there are too many people suffering in this world and most of us in the so called "civilized world" don't do nothing about that. Well, apart from participating in Earth Day and local events where I live, I`ve decided to become more serious...

2 weeks

My kids have been with their dad for 2 weeks now. They have spent 12 days in Morocco. I haven't heard anything from them since last Wednesday, that's 4 days ago. I'm really quite worried... The first days we chatted basically every day and we also spoke on the phone every other day. And now, all of a sudden, no news at all... Last time I chatted with DS1, his dad was with him and read everything we wrote and honestly, that makes me even more worried... I just hope my kids are ok and that they just are having the time of their life and don't have...

Oh no, another Houdini hamster!

My kids got a hamster a few weeks ago. One morning going to school a friend of mine told me that another mom had a hamster baby for my kids. So off I went to buy a cage, food and everything else a hamster needs. I immediately fell in love with our little Peluche ("teddy bear" in Spanish). He's soo cute (it's not the hamster in the pic, our baby is...

Day 5

I'm tired today, way too tired... Since my kids left I've sort of turned day and night all around and I'm beginning to feel the effects of that. I defenitely can't go on like that. I need to get back in track again. I didn't do much yesterday. First of all, I got up late since I spent the night before chatting with friends in Peru. Then I just took it slow for the mostpart of the day. It was actually quite nice to do nothing... In the evening I watched football, Spain - Paraguay. I really love football, it's my favorite sport. After a very boring...

Day 3

Today was supposed to be my day off. I got up at 7 AM and decided I would spend the morning preparing material for my clases. I've printed out quite a lot of material, lots of excercices and whole lessons. I need to make a list of all the excercices so I don't have to spend hours looking for the right excercice. I also need to make flash cards, games and stuff for role plays. It will probably take me much more than one day to do that, but at least I'll do as much as I posibly can. In the end I had to go to the office because one of my bosses had...

Day 2

I'm slowly getting used to being alone. Well, actually I don't feel alone because thanks to all my wonderful friends around the internet (love ya all guys!!!) I know that whenever I need it, they're there to give me a hug... Yesterday I worked at the office in the morning, 9 AM to 2 PM. Due to the confusion of July starting in the middle of the week the first hour was somewhat busy, but after giving my morning class (a girl of 9 with a reading issue) the rest of the day was calm. I prepared notes for the coming clases. My sunburn was itching....
