helping kids overcome obstacles in school

here we are, texas

How cute is she. Texas, see you tomorrow.

Well, we’re here in the great state of Texas. We landed a week ago, and it has felt like a whirlwind already. Today is the first day I’ve sat down and tried to respond to emails and think. Combine jetlag with culture shock, and you’ve got yourself a nice helping of brain fog. I find myself looking into a car to see where the steering wheel is so I know which side to get in on. I’ve also tried several times to turn the bathroom light on from the outside of the bathroom (there’s no plug outlets or light switches inside a bathroom in SA). It’s so funny the things you get used to.

Isn’t my girl too cute? She packed more stuff than any of us. We told her she had to carry her own stuff and amazingly, she did. She looks just like her daddy toting around her guitar. If you need any helpful tips for packing for a trip, I’ve got you covered over at Petit Elefant.

Happy Tuesday!
