And I finally granted myself some time to give some attention to this blog.....I even read a reply which was written a while ago and I must admit.....a forgot to thank the autor...* Thank You Melissa *, You pointed out what I already knew deep down inside of me. Life just isn't perfect. And I live life by the day. I enjoy sitting in the garden with my children. Their laughter, their bantering, their joy. And the sparkling of their eyes, without worries and sorrow. But summer is coming to an end. Time for serious business is knocking on our door. Marlou will turn 14 on the 7th of september, the first day of school and future plans are just around the corner with the start in the 3rd year of the Atheneum. She still wants to do someting in the medical world....we'll see. Joeri, my 12 year old, will start in the first year of the VMBO-T. He wants to be an architect; "And then I'll give you a fantastic house mummy!" Inge, she's 9, starts in group 6 and Britt, she's 8, will start in group 5.
And I? I will teach the twelve year olds this year for two days a week and I'll help children who need special care for another two days a week. So the next weeks events are mostly preparing for school in a very relaxed way. There is no hurry...yet. It will be a week of enjoying summer while it lasts, grasping life with both my hands. Playing games of scrabble and rummykub with the whole family is part of it.
Next week I'll write some more about our glorious summer.
Have a nice weekend!
