Wow, talk about a surreal day! This morning I went to pick up a high-chair at someone's house who I barely know. She's one of the moms in the older kid's mommy-group, we met a few times. Though I hardly know her, I gave her my breastpump a few months back - hers had broken, I didn't need it anymore, she desperately did. As they say, what goes around come around. Albert and I need highchairs to have at my mother-in-law's, but don't want to spend too much money (well, we don't want to spend any money, really!). Now this girl I gave the breastpump to is leaving the country and they want to get rid of all their stuff. So, I went to pick up this chair, of course with Liva and Laia, and it's HUGE! I had to transport the chair and double stroller half way through the city, on 2 different metros. I managed without problems, but it was quite embarassing....

In the afternoon I met up with a German twin-mom who I haven't seen for months because she was in Germany. We had agreed to meet at 4:45pm which was already quite late for us, since Liva and Laia have dinner at 6pm and we were meeting about 30 minutes from where we live. We got there about 10 minutes early and received an sms from my friend - she would be late, about 15 minutes. She was almost 25 minutes late, by the time she arrived we should have been leaving. Of course we stayed for a while and chatted, then hopped on a bus to get home as quickly as possible. It was right at the beginning of rush-hour, the bus was full! Liva and Laia were getting hungry and tired, but they have been so happy all day today and did great on the bus-ride as well. There were loads of people entertaining them, this probably helped a lot as well! :) We arrived shortly before Albert got home, I changed and went to work to go teach my student. It is so weird changing from being a twin-mom for almost 11 month old babies to being a serious English teacher all dressed up to a very important business man who is the boss of 40.000 people! But I love this change, and I love that I can do it!
