Girls, I'm so happy today! 😊
Welcome to another week of updates from my life!
Today I won't tell you about my week, but rather about how my weekend is going.
This weekend, my dear granddaughters came to sleep over. As scouts, their weekends are always busy. This time, I managed to get a little bit of time for myself. 🙂
With kids, the house is full! We played Nintendo, watched animated movies, but the most interesting thing was what we learned from them. Yesterday, they summarized the history of Portugal 🇵🇹 for me. I confess I'd forgotten half of it! I just wish you could have seen or heard the enthusiasm with which they told the story. They love history!
I slept with them, and in the morning, I made pancakes. I gave them a bath, and my dear husband had a surprise prepared for us! 🎉🎉🎉
We left the house, drove a few kilometers, and the surprise arrived… in my husband's sweatshirt pocket! A tiny baby Yorkshire! 🐶
The girls went hysterical, I had tears in my eyes, my son was apathetic… It was a mix of emotions.
On the way back, we chose a name. I was going to call her Prada, but since it didn't bring me as much joy as I expected, I cried even more… Gucci was the name chosen by Serena and Noa, and we agreed!
So, we have a new family member: Gucci. 😊
Next, as a good grandma who spoils her granddaughters, we went to McDonald's for lunch, played at the park, went on swings, slides, etc.
We came home to put up the Christmas tree with the girls and enjoy our Gucci. She's so tiny, she fits inside a slipper! What joy!
You know, girls, so much has happened this past year… If I didn't die of a broken heart 💔, I won't die anytime soon. Meanwhile, this last quarter, I feel like it's a new beginning. My olive tree has bloomed again, I've gone back to studying, and I'm so much more tolerant. This week I also realized what I no longer want for myself.
Today, and right now, I have this piece of life and joy back in my home… I'm happy. I feel like everything is finally coming together, everything has a purpose, and it's a process. I'm nostalgic, in a bubble of love. I'm really very happy!
I had to share with you, as you are now part of my life too. ❤️
I'm signing off for today without talking about work, incredible! Thank you so much for being there.
A kiss to your hearts,
With love,
Carla Valente
