NEW HOUSE, HERE WE COME!!

Yesterday was unbelievable. Ashley was having too many reactions to the mold in the hotel, we had to get her out of here. We are forging ahead to get her into the house early, so we are renting furniture (2 more months until ours gets here). The kids had a great time at the pool yesterday. Lilly is doing great. The air quality is a lot better coming off of the ocean, the breeze was so nice. I really had a chance to relax. I had to start buying things all over that I know will be in our airshipment when that arrives in a couple of weeks. I hate having to buy towles when I've got a bunch of new towles en route.

Ashley says just grab some from the hotel. So much for the years of attending church and trying to instill some semblence of ..."thou shalt not steal"...

Her reply was, well, they will just put it on the hotel bill anyway. Hhmmmm...nahh.

Bri was better today, but the monotony of her incessant whining to go home is really getting to me. (Not really). She turns the tv chanel to the off station/broadcasting one with the stripes and fuzzy stuff and watches it to rebel. Not working kid. I know she is really homesick, and is doing better when her friends write and she blogs. This is a great spot to release tensions and craziness that is building up.

Well, John is as happy as a lark. (Glad somebody in our crew is). My bottom line, I see I'm going to have to learn Tamil a lot sooner than I thought. Not as many English speaking people in my circle. My driver knows a few words, everyone else -- nada. Okay, maybe they say "hello" ...and maybe I can say.. "vannakam (hello)" too. So we are tied. Gotta go, Bri wants to blog. Anything to make her happy ...the hoops I've been jumping through are ridiculous. But it is getting better
