Day to Day...

I realized I haven't posted about my day to day living here in Pozuelo. I ussually wake up a little late around 9:30 or 10 (I feel a little bad about this, because I don't see the rest of the family as the kids and parents are up at 8 to get ready for school or work). I ussually enjoy a breakfast of cereal and cola coa (chocolate milk) or lately some magdelenas (muffins) and then either try to go for a workout (more about this next post) or set off to Madrid to do some exploring, reading, shopping and what not.

Since October the kids get home at about 5:30 but these are some busy kids. The day does not stop for them after school, I mean I know my brothers and I were a busy family with skiing and swimming but for example Diego has music, swimming and choir all on one evening, but don't forget he has futbol 3 times a week as well. So to figure out all 6 kids (the cousins to) the parents have a schedule of where each kids is and who picks up who when. It can get very complicated Im sure, and after seeing the organization I really appreciate my parents for all the driving to and from swimming and skiing they had to do. While one kid is going out the door another one is coming in, I help the kids with what I can with their homework ( really only English and french) and hang out with them. Enjoy a dinner at around 9:30 and then watch some TV with the family.

Wow things are going by fast, three weeks to go ahhh crazyness.
Miss you all!
