So here I am again...after about 15 min. of trying to figure out my username...I still don't know it but somehow I can post.

Well it's been awhile since i've sent out an email telling people about what I actually do. My last email I was talking about the crazy lady so I think I should start there to clear some things out b/c I've think I've given the wrong impressions! Crazy lady was an au pair for the family 8 years ago. Since then she has gotten married to a Friesan and has continued living with the family from Sunday night to Thursday doing the things that I must do. So she was teaching me things for the first 2 weeks. Now why is she crazy people have been asking...well she really isn't she's just very particular and I was having a hard time with that..so particular that she refolded my towels and told me how to put a cup into the dishwasher... anyway she is a very sweet lady and I still talk with her on the phone (when she calls to make sure I am doing things right..haha;) but don't worry she asks if i am offended by that and i sweetly say "no not at all...i appreciate it"...so at least she realizes she's a little crazy and is really just trying to be helpful).

Anyway this is my first week of doing things on my own. Getting the kids to school was fine minus the 5 times I stalled and made the kids gasp about 50 times....but really i am getting better at standard....I only stale about twice each trip now. Oh and of course the first day as I was driving down a "street" which turned out to be a bike path...There were cars parked on the side I swear but I knew something was wrong when a biker gave me a funny look but I just smiled sweetly as if I knew what I was doing and proceeded to drive down the curb and into the bus lane....noticing later that the police station was on the other side of me...minor issue really. and the kids weren't in the car so it's all good.

Really my life consists of driving kids around, cooking dinner for kids that only eat brocolli, pasta, and plain hamburgers, and ironing. FUN hey!!!!!haha it's a little more than that. I am making friends already. Three close friends consist of one from Finland, another from Mexico and another from Peru. We have fun together and it's really neat communicating. The two from Finland and Peru have perfect english and the one from Mexico has perfect french and spanish so when we are together we switch between english, french, spanish and then all of us together throw in the dutch words and accents that we have acquired since coming. I will admit it's a lot of fun!

Well I\m off to do my driving task now....sorry if this is boring...I have yet to master the art of blogging...I'll catch on soon enough!
