The Bug

Today came a little sooner than I would like. The dreary weather is really making it hard to get up in the mornings...not to mention the cold house. Apparently the city turns everyones heat on the 15th of this month....oh spoiled Americans with our heaters and ACs ready to use at the flip of a switch. Work was productive but Monday's are hard cause three hours really fly by. Over the weekend Ruggie got a stomach bug and threw up both days. He stayed home from school and stayed with his grandmother until I got home from work. I spent the day playing board games with the boys and during the afternoon Fil and I practiced English for an hour and he helped me with my Italian. He's a good teacher too. Before Fil had to go to basketball practice we all made collages cutting pictures out of old magazines. They really seemed to like this craft and it kept them calm for over an hour. Our new housekeeper started work today and took Fil to bball. Pat was suppose to pick him up at 7:30 but at 6:45 she came running into the house and straight for the bathroom. She also got the stomach bug and I haven't seen her since 6:45. Alberto came home and fixed dinner for the four of us. We are trying to break the pattern of this bug passing from family members. Knock on wood.
Holy cow it's October 1st....time really flies when you live in a foreign country :-)
