Too Much Squawking

I've been avoiding writing a blog note because it would mean too much venting/complaining but it's time to catch everyone up on what's going on.

The house is nice and quiet although Buddy is snoring behind me. Lisette is at Theater camp (you have to say "Theater" with an upper crust British accent for some reason), John is hopefully picking up his travel orders finally and my lazy youngest two are still sleeping!

While I was back home we were informed by the school in Bolivia that Jake was denied admission due to "serious concerns regarding his behaviour" ...John and I both about had a stroke. Jake had a hard time adjusting when we first arrived in Buenos Aires but he's improved by leaps and bounds since, especially considering we're moved this 8/9 yr. old child twice in the span of a year.

We've received some awesome support from the government and now the school is willing to reconsider his enrollment if he is cleared through a psycho-educational evaluation and emotional/ developmental testing. His testing takes place this Thursday and Friday. Meanwhile our collective breaths are held.

On the job front, I'm to have an interview over the phone tomorrow morning. Just another reason to pop my blood pressure through the roof. However, on the stress scale, it's rather low. I've always interviewed well and this job isn't the most important thing right now.

The icing on the cake? I'm having a hysteroscopy (read that carefully!) on July 2nd. Oh, and John is expecting to depart for Bolivia shortly thereafter. Life does keep us on our toes. If it doesn't kill us... you know.

My Lasik eyes are doing great. My kids are wonderful and I have the best friend/husband in the universe to lean on when life is totally una vida loca.

Now Jake is up and eating his scrambled eggs. He gave me a big good morning hug. Now I really don't have anything to squawk about. It's a beautiful day! Hope the sun is shining where you are too!
