Cirkus / Circus

Lige i øjeblikket er mit liv lidt mere rundt på gulvet end det plejer at være.... Min søster er i USA, - hun skal være der alene 1 måned mere, hvorefter hele familien skal derover 1 år. Min svoger er dermed alenefar et par måneder, og det er han faktisk enormt god til. Der er måske lidt mere TV og lidt færre grøntsager, men ellers går det glimrende.
Ikke, at han ikke påskønner at moster henter børn i ny og næ, så han kan komme lidt senere hjem fra arbejde. Det gør han skam! Både børn og moster nyder det også meget....
Men der er også bonus-oplevelser. Jeg har fået status af en slags pap-mor i de her måneder, og har fået lov at komme med til forældre-ting på skolen. En fuldstændig anden verden! Men sjovt at se de små størrelser (der alligevel er enormt store!) optræde med det, de har øvet sig meget på. I går var det cirkus. For 2.klasses familier. :-D
Min største bonus? Min søster kommer hjem en uge sidst i juni med en stor, tom kuffert. Hun skal hjælpe med at pakke familien sammen og rejse derover til Berkeley. Dén store kuffert må jeg fylde med garn! Sådan en once-in-a-lifetime ting. Det koster nogle klejner, men gæt lige, hvem der kommer til at stå forrest i lufthavnen med et stort flag når hun kommer hjem!

Right now my life is a bit more chaotic than usual. My sister is in USA - she is going to be there alone for another month, and then her family will go with her for a year. It means my brother-in-law is a single dad for a couple of months, and he is really great at that! Life might include a bit more TV and fewer vegetables, but apart from that, everything is outstanding.
It is not like he doesn't appreciate some help picking up the kids to let him get home a few hours later. He is very grateful! And the kids and the aunt really enjoy it as well.
Some bonuses are included. I am a functioning sort of stepmum right now and because of that I have been going to some school-arrangements, usually parents-only. Entirely different world! But very sweet to watch the small ones (who are actually quite big!) show their stuff that took a lot of rehearsing. Yesterday we watched circus. For second class (grade) families. :-D
The biggest bonus? My sister goes back for 1 week ultimo June to help pack everything down and bring the family to Berkeley. She will bring a big, empty suitcase, and I have been allowed to fill that suitcase with yarn! It is a once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity. It's going to cost some dollars, but guess who will be first in line at the airport, jumping up and down!
