Happy Thursday!

It is a beautiful day here in Suesa.  I'm sitting outside again on the wonderful porch couch and enjoying the fact that the air doesn't smell of cows :) Also, I had the first good nights sleep in my almost 2 months here.  I dont know why, but I have been sleeping so horribly here which has been exhausting.  But last night I slept for a solid 7 hours which was wonderfully refreshing! So now I am ready for a night out tonight.  Everyone goes out almost every night and I am starting to join them more and more.  My pool playing is getting a lot better :) And I have been meeting a lot of people and improving my spanish which is nice.  It's crazy how safe I feel here.  I walk into town at night-around 10 or 11 and walk home even later (sometimes I get a ride) but I feel so safe and the walk is absolutly beautiful.  The other night Belen and I were walking home together and there was a full moon and there are actually stars...haha....lots of them, more than the 4 we see in Long Beach :) It is just beautiful.   

My allergies have been going crazy the last 3 weeks, the worst I have ever had and none of my allergy meds are helping and yesterday I had the worst reaction ever.  Something flew into my eye and my eye swelled up.  I didn't know what was happening for a few minutes until i looked into the mirror and saw it swelling.  So after a few benadryl and keeping my eye shut for 2 hours (very difficult to do while playing with kids and making dinner) it stopped swelling and felt a little better.  This morning it looks normal again, but feel like someone punched me in the eye-its just super sore.  But I'm glad I dont look like a creepy monster-girl anymore.  The kids had fun with it though..Abraham said I was looked like a Pirate and Carla drew I closed eye on a piece of manila paper and wore that Saying we had the same eye, lol.  It was cute.  I've been having some problems with the kids for the last 2 weeks and it has been really difficult, but Carla and I had a talk yesterday morning and it really helped which makes me really happy.  We had a great afternoon yesterday and good morning this morning. 

I am enjoying my time here more and more though.  I feel so at home in house adn now that I have a few friends again and a social life it feel more like home everyday.  I still miss everyone in the land of stars and stripes but don't feel homesick-although I would kill for some of mom's wonderful meatloaf.  :)
