Gone and back again

Thursday, April 7th, 2005

Two weeks just flew by; now Morgan and I are back in Stockholm adjusting to the jetlag and daily routines. Thank God, Morgan is back at daycare so I can resume to my strenuous work of cleaning the house (constantly) and looking for a job.

I shouldn’t be having such a hard time finding a job, but it has been a huge task. The compromise of throwing away my expensive college education is very alluring. However, I still manage to keep my pride and going through the pains of finding a job, as an immigrant! I must say it is a very humbling experience, even with the fact of being American and speaking english. It is just not enough. If I never left the States, I would have never understood my parent’s life and struggles, if it weren’t my own.

But enough with the serious talk… I’m going on a diet. Being a housewife has added a few pounds. To make matters worse, everywhere else in the world other than Sweden goes by Kilograms. So I have no idea how much I really weigh and adding one kilo doesn’t seem much but that’s like a little over 2 lbs. Sad but true.

This ficticious diet lasted 2 weeks. Still doing yoga once or twice a week though. Bathing suit, here I come! I’ll be one of those mothers wearing a bathing suit she shouldn’t. hee hee.
