Not a great day today. It started off with Breakfast being 15 mins late and it went down hill from there. Eggs arrived as omelets, not poached, Kids wouldn't eat them and we don't have much else to eat. Pintoo just doesn't get me sometimes. Yesterday we ordered 3 poached eggs and we got 6 and about 10 slices of toast. What a waste of food when there are so many starving right outside my door. Kids went of to school with Eliza wanting to go home to Australia.......I am doing my best with what I have but to them its not enough.
Can't wait to be in our smelly apartment. I spent 3 hours in there cleaning on Monday and it smells worse than ever , even Victor thinks is stinks. And that is saying something when you live in India. He thinks maybe there is something dead in the air conditioner. Yuk, must get that looked at.
Went to pick up curtains to find one shorter than the other . Had to go and buy a step ladder to be able to hang them. I had also ordered some for the boys room but they where too wide and too short so I have hung them in the playroom. Now need to get some more for the boys room.
Found out this morning, that for the kids to catch the bus they would need to leave home at 7 am. We might drive them in the morning and they can catch the bus home. That is when Andrew doesn't need the car to get to work .I can't keep doing the 4 hrs + a day, to and from school, its killing me and Mac is sick of it too. I let them watch a DVD on the way today but felt terrible when I look out the car window and see such poverty, how can I let these kids watch a DVD on the laptop in the car when the people on the streets have nothing and live in absolute squalor. We are so fortunate. But spoilt!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Victor scraped both rear wheel arches on the car last night and the poor man was so sorry. I hope he didn't worry all night about telling us, he is a great driver and a very nice polite man. He is very patient with Mac and I in the backseat all day. His day starts at 4.30am and he works till he drops Andrew off at 7pm, what a long day for him. Today I gave him some money to go and buy a chair to sit on when he is waiting for us at the apartment.
The kids aren't very happy and it is really hard work in the mornings to get them motivated for their big day ahead. They are having trouble with the names of their teachers and class mates. Sam had his first Karate lesson yesterday.
Nothing is simple here but I am sure things will get better.
Pintoo is not very well and is constantly complaining to me. He has medicine so I hope he will be better soon. We don't need his germs...He does not have any days off so he must get worn out, they work long hours but do have rests during the day.
Mac and I are going to have a play at a indoor play center today so lets hope that will make him happy for a while.
