Mother's Diary When I was a teen I thought I never get married. I was going to read books all my life. I met my husband at a university. Now, 16 years later, I discovered myself deep married with three children. I’ve got no time to read books and no time for myself. All my time is devoted to my children, more exactly to my 5-years old daughter. She has got a number of educational (developing) activities. The most important is gym training: 3-3,5 hours 6 times a week. In addition she has 2 classes (45 min each) a week of folk singing and dancing, and combination of classes with reading, math, drawing, modeling, and application (1,5 hours a day, 2 times a week) I have to carry my kids in the car to these classes. These places are 10-12 km from our home. I drive my older daughter to gym then I drive back to our home because I can’t wait for 3-3,5 hours with 2-years old baby. Then I drive to sports hall again, take my daughter and all of us drive to home. Sometimes I think I am not a housewife, I am a kind of taxi driver. How difficult is parenting nowadays!

Russian Winter You know, there are very long winter holidays in Russia. They last about 10 days beginning with 1 January. Most of Russians sitting at home on this holidays. And it is rather boring. Frankly speaking, there nothing to do. They say, that Russian officials invented this holidays to have an opportunity to go on fashionable health resort in Europe an all over the World. I dislike our Winter. Last winter all my family fall into automobile accident. We turned over. Nobody suffered from it. But it was terrible. The accident occurred when it was snowing. And the road was full of snow.
