And So It Goes
Vacation complete
I am out of my pj's
It is time for work.
I have combed my hair
And even put on make up
(But no shoes just yet)
Next week will be kids
And all that random chaos
A new year of school!

Something About Me
- Jenn in Holland
- The story begins like this: A couple of years ago my husband got a crazy notion in his head that returning to school after years in the professional world might be a good idea. So he and I along with our three children left our suburban life in the U.S. and traded it for a new adventure in The Netherlands.
The saga continues like this: A year of post graduate study was so much fun, we figured we'd stay a while longer. Working in a new field, attending new schools and living in a new city, I dare say we have settled into a rhythm in our expat lives.
This blog is the record I keep of our experiences here; good, bad and hilarious. Intended as an outlet for my expression, this is the place for me to say my something.
I welcome you warmly.

Ah, the end of summer really is here already. Hope it's a great school year!
ReplyDeleteLiked your haiku. Hope the school year goes well for you!
ReplyDeleteoh - I hate having to get out of my pj's and put on makeup - but I am back to work, while the kids are back to shool
ReplyDeletecute post
That seemed like a really short vacation. Do you get a couple of weeks in October, like in Germany?
ReplyDeletehave a great school year!
ReplyDeleteI'm retired -- don't have to go back -- "What a feeling" Have a good year with your students.
ReplyDeletehave a great year! Say hi to Kate from me!
ReplyDeleteNew reader...found your blog through this post. Great 'ku.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter just started 1st grade this week here in the northeast US.
My husband was laid off a few weeks back and we're considering moving to Aruba. I'll read your blog to find out more, but I'm curious to know what type of school you chose. If we move, we're weighing our options right now between a local school (Dutch) or the extremely expensive International School (English).
Love the haikus - as usual!
ReplyDeleteDeep breaths and slow thoughts to help you through the chaos. That and wine.
You sound like you're ready!
ReplyDeleteput on makeup - such a pain after a nice break!
ReplyDeleteNext week is Kindergarten around here! Good luck to you.

ReplyDeleteWhere did summer go? Hope next week is a great beginning.
ReplyDeleteI'll get out of my pj's, but I'm never going for the make-up!
