Ungrateful?

Posted on by

Am I being ungrateful if I feel annoyed by the fact that I won’t have a private moment with my hubby when he arrives tonight from Ecuador because my mother in law insisted in going to the airport? I know she means well and I feel like a bitch, but I so wanted to go alone and have my husband all for me after 12 long days or being away from each other. I guess I should understand that she also wants to see him, especially since she’s leaving for Paris tomorrow. Hey! Everyone’s travelling and I’m stuck with school, not fair! Heh!

Update: Holy crapola. Did she read my weblog? Nah! She doesn’t even know the URL. But she just called to ask me if I would mind going to the airport alone because she wants to take a long bath and relax before her trip. Now I really feel like a bitch. I think I need coffee… Yawn!

Prayers for a Girl

Posted on by

A few years ago my mother hired a woman to work at our house in Colombia (it is very common to have a maid over there) and when she found out the woman had a little girl, she told her she could bring the little girl to live with us (well, with them… I’m not in Colombia anymore). During all these years, my mom has grown to love these two people very much and they’re like a part of our family; she’s been taking care of the girl’s education and my little nephew considers her like a sister. She and her mom don’t have anyone else in the world and they have been absolutely special to us. God bless them.

Très fatiguée

Posted on by

Yesterday when I came back from school, I was so tired I couldn’t even see straight. When I’m extremely tired my body starts acting weird and I feel like little electric shocks when I’m moving. This usually goes away after I sleep, but it seems it didn’t work this time and after a night of poor sleep I woke up this morning with the same feeling and started to worry.

Can’t Stand Him!

I tried to sit down and watch the Presidential Debate, but I cannot take more than 5 minutes of lies from Mr. Bush. First the war was because of the WMD and the threat Saddam Hussein posed to the U.S. and now it’s because the guy was making a bad use of the “Food for Oil” program (like the U.S. administration gives a flying fuck about the Iraqi people), blah blah blah. Seriously… I’m tired of hearing the same scratched disk over and over again. I thought I could at least wait for Kerry to say something, but I cannot stand that freaking monkey-faced idiot on my TV screen… I just can’t. Indigestion, that’s what he gives me. Ugh.

And no, I don’t have anything more intelligent to say. What I had to say, I said in the past if you’ve been following. I just wanted to let out the bile. You know what’s sad? In my heart I know the world will have to see that man in the White House for four more years. :-(

I will never understand…

People who don’t yield their bus seats to the elder and children.
People who don’t move to the back of the bus to make space.
People who don’t respect the bus line, especially teenagers.
People who run after the subway. There’s another one in just 4 minutes.
People who don’t clean themselves before going out. Yuck.
People who are rude just because they want to be. Bastards.

As you can see, I still have problems with public transportation. Happily I have next week off to prepare for my mid-terms (already??). I’m kind of nervous, especially about the exams where I have to develop answers to questions (because of the written French). Well, at least some teachers give me the option to take the exam in English… That’s nice.
