the job i didn't get

was selling organic produce in a neat organic shop. the shop is located right in the middle of the city, within no kidding! - one minute walk from the high school my kids attend.
the lady who works there is an old friend of mine, and they had a grant to support the paycheck.
the reason i was rejected: the grant was set for someone above 50 years of age.
i wanted this job so very much.
duh.

a short break


shortly after my fifth (is it the sixth???) bloggiversary, i'm taking a short break.
don't be afraid, i'm not going very far.
-
on Saturday for once, i'm going on a one-day trip with my daughter to the Dobsi.na ice cave - it's worth to take a look HERE.
i found the trip via a newsletter i receive from an online hiking group i have recently joined. their main profile are inland trips and trips to countries around Hungary. this one trip aims at an interesting cave up north where Hungary's Uplands are. now they belong to a country that is younger than me.
-
for a couple of days more, we are going to have quite a mess in the house.
beginning Monday, we are going to have the old oven renovated in the living room/bedroom.
-
also, as the kids are getting older the need to have a separate room emerged. it is not easy as we have only four rooms.
let me break it down for you.
room 1.
the newest one, where a new oven was built this August. see the photo attached.
room 2.
the one with lots of windows.
due to the location and circumstances of the room, temperature goes below 10 or even 5 degrees centigrade in the winter, so this room can not be used all year round.
it's great to play or read as there are plenty of light there, but is unsuitable for sleeping. also, it is really small, so we can't place a cupboard or table there.
room 3.
also knows as : office.
it is rather small. two large bookshelves, and a large cupboard and a table under the window with two computers basically fill the room completely.
room 4.
the one room out of the four fit and large enough for all-year-round sleeping.
it is the largest room.
but now we must change the situation one way or another.

school has started today

the kids are now going to a high school in the town where we live.
my daughter (b. March 2000) has started grade 5 and her education will last for 8 years.
my son (b. December 1996) has started grade 9 and will graduate from high school in June 2015.
they commute by bus.
unfortunately there are no school buses here, so they have to take the town's own bus system.
today was like this:
we got up at 6:00 am, they took off at 7:10 am. they arrived home by 2:30 pm.
this is the first time my kids are going to the same school at the same time.
my daughter had 5 classes, but my son had 6.
she waited in the hall for her brother and they went home together.
i know i am being sentimental, but it warmed my heart up :)))

there is a new job on the horizon... more on that later :)
