so things are very different here and it is easy to get caught up in the negative aspect of this adventure.. no friends close, homesickness, no dryer for the clothes, getting lost is a daily happening, not being able to read or understand grocery store labels, no drive thru you can manage.. etc..
this past 2 weeks or so I have been STRUGGLING to find the positive.. but here are just a few... :)
if I want.. I can get a soup fix.. expensive, but hey.. it works.. I am now waiting for velvetta and rotel and the world will be as it should be..
3 weeks of looking and I finally went to a merceria and found thread!! let the mending of torn pants begin..
They may never truly know my name, but its all good.. because they know what I want to drink:)
while comfort food may be on the harder side to find, some days that suck have a way of letting you find a slice of home in a deli where the owner is from Staten Island, NY:) and he says you name the way your mom did when you were a kid..
the kids LOVE, LOVE, LOOOOVE school.. and they love having these hats.. they are constant reminders that we brought a piece of a very special person in their world with us and she is always around..
Chris Pine on the giant billboard when I drive the 40 minutes to school is a bonus.. he is not bad to look at
even birthdays are awesome in any country.. :)
having your husband find an irish hairdresser in the middle of argentina.. yes.. priceless..
Artwork that proves your child is happy happy happy... so very happy..
random sloppy joe's at an expat dive bar.. for $30 pesos.. can't beat it...
and lastly.. finding a lovely group of PTO moms from around the globe who show me where I can find marshmallows and good Kung Pao Chicken..
not listed in my happiness photos:
the snickers bars we found at Walmart.. because I ate them!!
