Just Another Day...

Today was mostly uneventful. I woke up to watch my husband get dressed in his uniform (which he dislikes wearing), and that I think he looks sexy in. The repairmen came to fix the Japanese toilet and gave us instruction books in Japanese. Ok, what are we going to do with these?

I cooked and pretty much just hung out at the house. The girls were just chilling today, downloading avatars on the computer for their ipods. My daughters are growing up so fast. It seems like just a couple of years ago that they were asking to sleep with me. Now when I hug and kiss them they act like they hate it, but I know that they secretly love it.

My butt doesn't hurt too much at all today. Well not as much as I thought it would. Doug says that we rode about 6 miles yesterday. I say that's not bad for someone who doesn't work out at all. He has made me promise to ride at least 3 times a week. I hope my butt can take it, LOL. Oh, and I have tanned. I'm going to have to do a before and after pic because I have definitely gotten much darker since arriving to Japan.

Tomorrow we go back to Japanese class. I like the class but I think that it would be more efficient if it were at least a few times a week instead of just once a week. Sometimes when I'm thinking of what to say to a Japanese person when out, I almost speak German, LOL. And I thought that I had forgot the 4 years of German that I took.

I almost have everything switched over to my married name. The only thing left is to get my driver's license changed and I can't do that until I return to Michigan. I suppose when I go to visit my former co-workers at Cadillac Place, I can stop at the SOS too.

I'll be so glad when school starts. Maybe then the girls will like it a lot better here. Right now, since we don't live on base, they don't really have any friends, well at least not in our neighborhood. Most of the time if the Japanese in the neighborhood don't stare at us, then they are ignoring us. We signed them up at the base teen center and they've made friends but it's not the same as being in school. The girls can only talk about how things aren't like Michigan and not how things are pleasantly different. I hope and pray to get them out of this mindset.
