Not a bad week, all in all. School went well. Even the class with the little "F-You" girl went off without any hitches. My back is getting better and is at about 90% or so. Saturday morning was spent on the phone with relatives and a close friend of mine. Then, it was off to China Town with my kids and a friend of mine so that my wife could do housework in peace and have a few hours to herself. This wasn't my best idea ever, though, as China Town was packed with tourists, and we ended up walking around Sannomiya for a couple of hours. The kids drove me nuts--first, by whining, and later, by running around wild. Who'd of thought a four-year-old and a six-year-old wouldn't enjoy walking around for miles looking at shops!
Today was much better. I started off with a trip to the gym, then ran a couple of errands, before taking the kids to the park, where they entertained themselves for over two hours with a group of six or seven Japanese kids. They played tag and hide-and-go-seek and seemed to have a pretty good time running around until the sun began to go down and things cooled off. It was good to seem them communicating and interacting comfortably in Japanese. Now it's time for baths and bed and the week ahead.
