Olympics

I used to love you but now maybe I hate you because I miss you.

I am sitting here with a glass of wine after a long day involving Belle, three walks, an hour of tennis, dealing with the maid being late.... again, a little rain then sun, Skype dates, difficult diaper changes, and too much speaking English (yes, my mom is here and I am not used to this much communication) and I realize that I hate Brazil.

I am soooo freakin upset that I have to sit here and watch the Olympics (should it be capitalized? I think so in this moment because that's how important they are to me) and never really see the US... ever. Well, I lie. I guess I have seen women's sand volleyball.

I watch the same stupid clips over and over again about Brazil winning a medal. I really would have thought that they have won thousands of medals based on the commercials, clips, replays, and general coverage. When I go to the official Olympic website I find out that Brazil only has 5 medals. Ughhhh.

I feel like I am missing everything and right now I am having a hard time seeing what I am gaining being here.

I guess this is the final straw? Maybe it's my mom being here and me realizing that I miss family way too much. Or maybe I just miss the great country of America. Period.

What ever the problem, I must find a way to change or find a solution.

Onto my next glass of wine. Maybe I will sleep the problem off tonight and have a more positive attitude tomorrow!

Tchau,
Sara
