The Spaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

Morgan was back to school today and lovin' it!! When I dropped her off I got to meet Emily and her parents. It turns out they live in our neighborhood and have a younger daughter as well. I see play dates in our future.

With Morgan in school full time and Sophia doing the housework, I have quite a bit of free time on my hands. It is nice to be able to put Molly down for a nap and then go shopping, or to work out. Today, I went the spa. Oh man!! It was awesome. It is right here in our neighborhood and was like heaven. You get your own little room, with a jacuzzi tub filled with warm water and flower petals. There is also a vanity with toiletries and your own personal shower. I had a facial and a foot massage together at the same time. Such a great experience. Foot massages are all the rage here. There are several places around town that only do foot massages. You just walk in, sit down, and relax.

I did more unpacking before heading to lunch with a woman whose husband works with Mark. They have been here for 4 years now, so she had a lot of insightful information to share. Her children are teenagers, but she is introducing me to other moms with children the same age as ours. She is a really nice woman who seems to take new expat wives under her wing to guide them in the right direction. GM should hire her to do this full time.

I picked Morgan up after another successful day at her new school. We hurried home to have a snack and change for her swim lesson. The lesson is right here at the indoor pool. There are only 3 kids in her class, so she gets a lot of personal attention. Coach Cassey had a heavy accent that I just couldn't place as either British, Australian, or Irish. At any rate, she was very good with the kids and was quite impressed with Morgan's confidence in the water. We go every Tuesday now until Summer.

Nothing on the agenda tomorrow, but my calendar is already filling up for next week with lunches and play dates. I also need to squeeze in a haircut at sometime and cant wait for another opportunity to hit the spa.
