Spreadng the News
Guess what? I'm writing this from my living room! So, it's not quite my computer yet (the wireless connection isn't set up yet), but it is at the house. And the phone is set up, too, so if you've been waiitng with bated breath to phone me, wait no longer! You can call now! :o) Aren't you excited?!Lourenzo starts school tomorrow--we've spent the past few days doing "outings." Brooklyn Children's Museum a couple of days ago; the Caribbean Carnival parade; Prospect Park Zoo; and then the Central Park Zoo today. At least I'm getting a chance to explore and see all kinds of things, too. It'll be really nice to have him in school, though. Tomorrow and Friday are half-days, and then next week are full days, and then after-school stuff starts the week after.
Even though we'll have to get up that much earlier in the mornings, it'll be nice to finally have some time to do all the other "New York Stuff" that's part of this whole experience. I've got a list of errand type things to do, once I have a little bit of time to myself, and then hopefully within the next week or two, I'll be able to find a job and get going with that end of things. I'm not planning to start any classes until October--start one new thing at a time--but I'm really ready to start finding something else. I need to do things like get a library card (and find the closest library to where I'll be), drop off resumes, open a bank account, pick up some stuff at a drugstore... things like that. Things that aren't included in the "play with Lourenzo" job description.
Although, I get told on a daily basis that I'm the "meanest person in the world," and that he's going to tell the police on me, because I won't buy him ice cream every time his heart desires. I take that as a good sign--my mom always told me that her goal in life was to be a mean mother, so if I'm already attaining that status, I must be doing something right! :o)
Anyways... I'm thinking that I should head to bed sometime soon. I tried to post pictures, but this computer won't let me, so once again, we have to wait until I have internet on my computer. At least until then, it's a lot easier to update and be in touch with home. :o)
This totally made my night.

YAY for internet! Hopefully we can chat soon. :) Glad to hear things are going well.

The goal of a "mean mom" is to raise good kids, not to be just "mean." Hopefully that's what I did! You will carry on a good tradition!
