Let's try this again...

It's been several months since I last made a post - in fact, it's been long enough that I have forgotten my password and since I had started this whole process with a now defunct email address... I have realized the best idea is just to start over fresh! So here we are starting our third year in Tokyo... Chris is still with Corning, Nicholas is in the 4th grade, Sydney is in the 1st grade, and I'm in the center of it all - trying to keep it all organized!

My mother often asks why I don't work on my blog anymore and I told her that my life is really not that exciting since we are now settled. I do the same things most moms do... I get up in the morning, make lunches and breakfast, walk the kids to the bus, go to the gym, go to the grocery store, wash a few loads of laundry, maybe fold and put away the laundry, pick up around the house, go pick up the kids from the bus, cook dinner, clean up the dishes, put the kids to bed, watch a little TV, and go to bed... Not too exciting, huh?

However, I've been thinking... I may do a lot of the same things, but it looks very different here. Everything is different. And the fact that my family has adjusted to it, doesn't make it any less interesting to those I know. My sister told me once that I should write about the stores I go to or describe the area in which I live - both great ideas. That's my new plan - now that I'm not always lost or walking around in circles, I hope to explain about some of the every day things I do... with an obvious Japanese flair!

Make sure to come back often and please leave comments!
