So last week was all about preparing for this weekend. We decided to invite Jim's coworkers to celebrate Jim's 37th birthday. We had a great time at the party. There was a lesson learned: you can not buy ice at the gas station, or the supermarket; Jim got instructed by the Swiss to use his freezer at home. The kids went with the sitter to the mall to the Kinder paradise (indoor playground) and came back before all the guests were gone so they got to say hi and meet some of our friends. JP and Syd went to sleep before everybody left. This morning (Sunday 27th), JP got up and asked where all the friends were; He was very disappointed that the party was over.
This week was also very exciting for me because not only did I work at the multilingual school for a couple of days, but I also got called to sub twice. Jim and the kids have been very supportive of this new schedule of ours. The kids get up early, the transition at school is fairly easy and they welcome me in the afternoon with a big smile, hugs and kisses. Jim had to settle for simpler dinners and no special breakfasts. In the next weeks I will know if I will get a full time job for the next school year.
