The Diplomat

'Tis the season for parties, parties, parties!  Which is fun when it's with friends but not so much when they are work, work, work.  The reason I gave the hubby the nickname The Diplomat is because that's what he is!  We are living in South America on a diplomatic mission.  Which was fun at first but now it really is w.o.r.k.  My friends say I have the life of a princess.  We are ALWAYS at an event for an Embassy.  The Israeli Indepence Day, Cinco de Mayo for Mexico, an Orchestral Performance at the Spanish Embassy,  Christmas Party at the British Embassy.  You name it, we're there.  Then there is just the dinner party invitations, the military graduations etc.  On top of that we have entertaining responsibilities in our home; at least twice a month.  In any event... I would really love to blog everyday and share with all of you (ha ha SIF I think you're it so far!) but my "duties" as a Dip Wife are getting in the way.  The boss had a party last night, we were at the Ambassador's house this morning, another event this evening and we are hosting one tomorrow.  Really I'm tired just writing it all down.  It was the same last weekend too.  Not to mention the events we had during the week and oh, I work.  Yup I am a therapist and apparently VERY in demand in this country.  Which is nice to have the work to turn away but WOW am I busy.  I have a draft in the works explaining a bit more background.  Maybe before this year is over I can get it finished!  Happy holidays all!
