I decided to write about my daughter's first trip abroad.
In the summer of 2022, me, my boyfriend and our daughter went to Tenerife with my family. This is the first time my boyfriend goes to Tenerife and by far the first time my daughter goes abroad.
When we landed, my dad and brother picked us up and drove us to the hotel room. There we met my mom, sister and her boyfriend. We went out to eat dinner in the evening and there we had some good food and some drinks. We were dead tired after the flight, as the flight was early in the morning or at 4 o'clock, so we went to bed early in order to have a good and fun day in the morning.
My daughter loved going to the beach and playing in the sand and in the sea. She was shoveling a lot with her grandmother while my parents and I went into the sea where there were big waves. I remember the first few days, my dad was very good at calling me to ask me to put on sunscreen, but I got into trouble when I forgot to put on sunscreen one day and I could barely move because of the pain.
We went to several parks out there, including a pool park, a zoo, and a butterfly park. At the pool park, my daughter couldn't go on the slides, so we took turns going on the slides while the other looked after my daughter. After a long and hard day, she finally got to go to a kiddie wave pool and screamed with joy.
Then came the day we had to go home but then both me and my daughter got sick which was miserable but we recovered a few days later.
The reason I chose this task is because it is the first thing that came to my mind.
What I learned from this is that time is precious with family.

I decided to write about my work.
I had been looking for a job for a very long time but couldn't get a job because of covid. But then finally I got the call and I was invited to come to a job interview at Parlogis which is a warehouse and it didn't take me long to say yes to coming and seeing him.
During his job interview, he told me about my job and everything that has to do with it. He told me that there was a staff member missing in Herbalife and I accepted going to work there. There I met a wonderful woman and we became closer, even though there are about 30 years between us. I worked in Herbalife for about 6 months until I got to move on to labeling products. There I met a girl who is one year younger than me and we were very good friends during the time she worked there.
When she left, my best friend applied for a job at Parlogis and the two of us are just branding products together and that's the best I know about this job. We keep each other awake by talking, listening to music and dancing while we are working. We're labeling Now vitamins, mom chia, hipp powdered milk, and all sorts of other things.
I've been working there for almost 2 years and I can't ask for a better job, I love this job and I don't see myself quitting anytime soon.
The reason I chose this is because I love this work.
What I learned from this is that all work isn't boring

I decided to write about what I did yesterday.
I woke up with my daughter and we had a bite to eat a little later. When everyone was awake, we went to get ready, put on clothes, and brush our teeth to go to the petting zoo. We got there around 10:30 am and we were there for about 3 hours looking at the animals and letting the kids play. After the petting zoo we went to Ikea and there we saw a lot of chefs competing to see who makes the best food. After Ikea, we went to friends' houses and stayed there until we went out to dinner on American style. There we had juicy burgers and sandwiches. They had a long wait for dinner because they had a lot to do. We had to wait 40 mins for our food. When the food arrived, they did my food wrong, so I had a sandwich and asked to skip the onions, but I got onions on my food. We were going to complain, but I didn't feel like waiting another 40 minutes to get my sandwich. After dinner, we drove home and put my daughter in her bed because it was late.
The reason I chose this to write about is because I didn't know what to write about, so my boyfriend told me to write about yesterday.
What I learned is that it's fun to travel and do something fun with your child and friends

I decided to write about my birth story because it was one of the hardest things I went through.
All my pregnancy was really good, my stomach didn't start to be visible until about maybe 30 weeks, then it started to grow rapidly. She was due to enter the world on March 16, 2021. I started to have labor the night of March 17th, 1 o'clock. I waited and waited a long time for it to be shorter between the labor. I went to the hospital and they said her head is stuck in my frame. I didn’t handle this pain so I went to the hospital the next night and slept there. They gave me morphine to numb my pain so that I could sleep. When I woke up, I had to go home. They gave me painkillers that I could take throughout the day. Then later that night I wanted to go back to the hospital because I couldn't do anything or sleep. They gave me morphine again, but that didn't help me. I didn't sleep much or nothing at night. The next day they sent me back home with painkillers, I wasn't satisfied because these pains were so painful. I was stuck for 1 cm dilation for 2 days. I went to the hospital to see if they could help me get her out. I got an acupuncture and then they moved the balloon (belgnum). After this trip, I went back home and couldn't sleep and went back to the hospitals in Reykjavík and got to spend the night there. The next day they were going to send me home again, but I refused to go home because the pain was getting worse. She said I still had to go home, but there were doctors coming to see me and they said I shouldn't go home at all. The midwife checked how far I had dilated and then I had 4 cm dilation. I was taken to the maternity ward and there I had an epidural. My dad said to me that my girl would come into the world when the volcano started. The volcano started erupting late in the evening of March 19th and my little girl showed up at 4 a.m. on March 20.
This is my birth story and what I learned about this is getting to be her mom.
