biggest mess up!

Hi. So I posted yesterday but lost it b/c the internet crashed...I am not doing well with this whole blog thing!:D oh well. I know how to sign in now in less than a minute! As for pictures...it will take me probably another week to figure that one out...sorry to keep you waiting but I have been taking some...particularly of the snow that we had yesterday...as meyke and I were playing x-box (I have a tough life don't I...haha) we noticed and then went picture crazy to show it off to you guys...nothin like yours though and it's all gone now.

Anyway it is the cold weather that is to blame for my biggest mix up...I was so busy getting the forst off the windows and hustling the girls that I forgot their lunches!!!! gasp...ten times worse than driving on a bike path...try explaining that you will hand deliver them to a girl that is about to burst into tears who does not speak english...fun. Too bad I didn't know where her class was or even what grade she is in...I'm a terrible au pair;D!

So that's about the extent of my excitement. I wanted to mention something about the mornings here. I was facinated the first morning that I drove the girls to school b/c as you turn onto the big road all you can see for miles are millions of little red lights...I was so confused at first and then I realized that they were all the bikes...I can't even begin to explain it...it just facinates me! A pain to drive with when you have to turn though...imagine a new standanrd driver trying to turn, thinking about what pedal to push down, what gear to switch to, trying not to stale and then watching for bikers at the same time...not to mention that they are always there so inevitably you need to stop which means you need to start again while on a hill with a car right on your tail end...fun...yeah. Anyway I haven't hit a biker or car yet so I'm doing well.

That's all I have time for now but til' next time!
