And in other news -
*My block is part of a marthon route today, apparantly, and people really like to cheer on Marathoners. Isn't that nice? They get up super early and line the route, clapping and shouting and...blowing Vuvuzelas. So, this morning, I got to wake up to HOOOOOOONK at *6:45*. It's just one guy. Given my druthers, that guy would be spending the better part of the afternoon with two good friends and a pair of plyers wishing he'd never seen a Vuvuzela.
*This was my first week of working two jobs! I started a new job this week out in Corporate America. It's a big, Jewish company that is super-employee friendly; pays well, great benefits, good hours, no overtime and the people are so friendly. I was really scared about working days, but transition has been, BH, very easy. I found a great nanny through an agency. The boys like her, she takes great care of them, and I come home to an immaculate house. I get almost two hours at home, and then I go out to my night job. It's very tiring, but temporary. I have been drinking caffienated coffee, but it doesn't actually give me energy or make me alert, it just makes me nervous. Is there anything I can ingest that would do what I wish coffee would?
*Speaking of ending my night job. Next week we scope out neighborhoods. We have a few on our radar, but we first have to find a school with space for Moo, then we'll check out the surrounding neighborhoods. I'm actually really excited about the fresh start. I feel like in the last couple have weeks I've gotten over Manhattan. The noise, the rush, the dirt, I'm ready for something a little simpler.
*Izzy is just so unbelievably sweet these days. You know, when he's not screaming. He LOVES to give kisses and hugs. He turns my face to his and plants one on me and I could just eat it up. Then, he lays his head on my shoulder and squeezes me tight and says "aaaah." He's also prone to giggling fits if I look at him too long. So delicious.
