    I miss

    So my final week in HU is rapidly coming to an end, tomorrow till saturday I am in italy, then we fly out monday...I will miss it here, but this vacation way of life is driving me crazy, everything seems to be falling apart back home, my old friend is sick, my caseload is going crazy, and my goodness if i have to eat another delicious piece of cake, i will explode, i swear i have gained about 10 lbs since i have been here.....there is also the language thing, i can only sit through so many dinners not understanding a word, which is why i am "doing" work right now. its difficult at times, and hubby is not very sensitive to the fact, and won't translate for me, because "he will tell me if it is something important"...eck......men.

    But i have to say i have done a bunch of things while  i was here...partying till 6 in the morn at an out door club to H. Catanio, last weekend was bar hoping (i swear I have never seen so many white  people dreadlocks) o0o0o and the Tisa hotel and turkish baths,  and today was a day of shopping which i enjoyed. The good thing about vacations is that they are temporary, and let u appreciate home, especially when its a 10 hour plane ride away...and i am really nervous about customs.......other issues i won't get into.....ehh balh the antisipation of returning home is annoying if at that..........

  • Budapest Baby

    So I am here in budapest with the inlaws and other characters, 3 days so far and everything has been good, i am   trying not to check my work e-mail, but it is so tempting.....anyways last night in a  this local pub with hubby and  my mother inlaw drinking cherry beer, eating strawberry moose and listening to classics such as Criss Cross, Spice Girls, and old school Brittany spears.....i was loving it.............

  • What a week it has been, I had attempted to write a lot this week, but then i kept getting interrupted by "crises" at work.... I am not going to go on about work but I will say this, The child welfare system sucks, causing people to be dependent and insufficient, i honestly don't think it can ever be fixed, not in my career life time anyways......... I came into my job hoping to change lives, and I believe I have..but on a much smaller scale then I would of hoped, I was just a soft nieve caseworker coming into the whole thing, but know I have a back bone, sharp tongue, and the ability to know when something is wrong. The sad thing is, I have only starched the surface working with teens, and I really don't know how long I will stick around......

    So my husband got the new GTA, I have mixed feelings about the game, for I am seeing it in two perspectives, the video game loving one, and of course the Social worker one......Hubby is a 30 year old stable adult, so a game like this is harmless i feel, but to as 18 year old rap sheet carrying teenage, especially some of the ones i work with...this game is not good for so many reason..........

    Derrick was buried today......he doesn't know how many lives he touched, so many families he helped, the effect his hard work has had on all, he is the type of worker I could only aspire to be...

    The weekend is basically over, and I am trying to end it by being really productive and finish my Policy paper but it is not going as planned and the red bull has me on a non productive buzz.

    So what did i do this weekend one may or may not care, well friday I met with my Swiss home girl and partook in the Silent rave at Union Square, the best dance music is your own, and since it was such and awesome night, there is nothing like dancing to your own dance mix under a full moon with lots of other happy people, this was better then the pillow fight........... Next it was off to Fat Cats to meet with my dad, his g/f and my brother where i accomplished something great, I actually got a ball in the pool table thingy...

    Saturday i got my hair cut, I still don't know if i like it or not, its short, sorta looks like that chick from last years Americas next Top Model, honestly I was going for more of  Rehanna look but it did not happen that way...

    So another night of phone call interventions a few trips to 7-11 and now i am here by myself (hubby is out) and I really really need to work on this paper..
