#cryingallweek

Monday was the last time I saw Antonio.

Tuesday 24/09 was the last time I went to the mommy-baby work-out with baby EJ.

In the evening I played beach volleyball with some friends and friends of friends. It was the last time I saw Kristen, my first real friend in Dallas, and Doug and Kate, whom I’d grown closer with over the last months. When we ended our night, Kristen & Doug gave me a goodbye card. I cried on my way home.

On Wednesday 25/09 we went to storytime at the mall for the last time.

Thursday morning, 26/09, was our last storytime at our local library. I got to know some very nice librarians, mothers and other nannies over there. Miss Coco, the librarian who always does storytime with the kids, got me a farewell cake/cookie, to share with everyone. What a friendly gesture. During storytime, baby EJ didn’t want to sit with me. he was always hanging out with the nanny of his friends. As if he knew I was going to leave and was already trading me for someone else!

In the evening I had my last beach volleyball game. When I joined this league, I didn’t know anyone and now I’m sad I have to go. My team was a lot of fun! Being Belgian and one of the better players in the league I got ‘notorious’ amongst other teams as well. I don’t remember who started it but by now everyone was calling me “the Belgian Hammer”. Team Sofa Kingdom! I found out what our team name stands for after our last game. These idiots... Wish I had met them sooner!
