| "You look like my mom when we are doing homework" | 
NOPE...I haven't written a post in a while.....  Did you know that 
when your kids get into "real" school grades even in Germany, they have 
homework?!?!  I mean, don't teachers know that there are tour books 
coming out of the walls and so many fun things to do in Germany besides 
homework...not to mention the fact I didn't even like doing my own 
homework when I was growing up!  Calm down now all of my teacher friends
 because (drumroll), I have again slipped on my 'big-girl' panties and 
started this more structured life which involves my helping with 
homework, set bedtimes, and many comments of "moms banging her head 
again".  So, nope I haven't written on my beloved blog but my children 
are going to be well educated and can hopefully read the tour books to 
me real soon!

Did you know... I also finally got over 
one of my silly fears called, "joining a German Gym".  Yes, I did it and
 can therefore bang my head inside the sweat smelling confinement of a 
gym when the homework the previous night was too tough.  My cousin (who 
is a fitness expert) asked me, "why were you scared of going to a gym in
 Germany?"  HMMM...my love handles hanging over in an annoying manner 
all while I am being instructed in a language that doesn't happen to be 
my own-you tell me.  BUT- I overcame another fear since moving here and 
have found my German trainer to be fabulous (and he didn't even notice 
my handles) and they have all kinds of massage chairs and machines to relax your muscles after the head banging!!!

AND did you know that there are gorgeous sunsets all over the
 world?  This one, helped me remember that life is sometimes more than tours listed in a guide book or even new phases of 
motherhood because the sun will rise and set no matter what country you are living in...well, I guess if I had spent a little more time on my homework I would 
no know that wasn't true!  (Sorry N. Pole, S. Pole, Alaska...just to name a few)
