Today is the kids last day of Spring Break and they start school tomorrow , but that wont last long because they are off again Thursday and Friday due to another holiday here in the Valencian Community. I’m not 100% sure but I think on Thursday April 3rd (of this year, I think it falls on different dates every year, always after Easter) is a local Alicante holiday called La Mona de Pascua: It is a day where families gather and it the typical Easter cake called La Mona (yes, the monkey, don’t ask).

In the end it just means another day off from work, school, another day to relax and since it falls on a Thursday then, hey what the hell as they call it here “puente” (bridge) to Friday and that day now too becomes a Holiday. See how easy it is.. You guys must come to Spain where between the local, national and pretty soon International holidays will be part of your everyday.

Matt left this morning bright and early to go to Canada to work on a David Foster Show . I hear Halifax the city the show is in is below 0 right now….burrr. too cold for me…but its a show he loves to do and enjoys seeing all his music friends..

Then he is off to work on Fight Night Muhammad Ali’s charity another great charity event that brings together many artists..

He will be gone for a couples of weeks while I’m here with the kids who are still in Spring Break and want to just have fun!! and fun we will have..

Kids are back in School!!

I know, it sounds mean.. I love my kids, and I love to spend time with them. I have really enjoyed the holiday vacation but Marco and Isabella are two young children with a lot of energy, way too much for me..They were actually looking forward to starting school again. Isabella said “I can’t wait to start school, you people here are no fun”, Marco said “I want to see my friends again but I have gym class today and I don’t really want to go”.. hahahaa…

I told my bosses today that my actual vacation started today.. My boss stated if that was so I should pay him instead of him paying me..hahaha.. Ok, so its not actually vacation but I do love going to work, being able to be productive and have converstation with adults..

I hope your beginning of the work week has been eventful..Talk to you all soon..
