I woke up again with the radiator not working. I'm always cold in the house, and that's when the heat is working. Today was another day of trying to fill the time. The Kid had a play date this afternoon, so that was a nice break. The mom of the other kid speaks English, but only speaks to me in French. It's good for my French but I'm always nervous I missed something. It can be a stressful phone call.
Since we've returned from the mountains, the laundry machine has been working overtime. Today, we ran 2 loads plus the dishwasher, which created a shortage of hot water. We only have so many liters per day (I know, I said liters) and by the time I through the Kid into the shower at 6:45, we were out. The water was luke warm but not cold. That kid screamed and cried like I'd thrown him in an ice bath. Pathetic. I was surprised the other kids didn't come and see what was wrong. Sounded like someone was getting tortured. I found the whole thing funny.
Dinner was made by the 16 year old. The kids are supposed to take over some of the meals this week since they don't have school and it was weird to not be cooking. I did end up helping, felt lazy just watching. The one thing I would have changed was the amount of dishes used. I have learned to minimize what I get dirty and make sure the sink is empty before I start. No need to start from behind. This was not the case tonight. For a day that I had more free time than I've had the last couple of days, I sure am tired.
Glad everything is going well with you. I really enjoy your blog. Mallory is working alot at TGIFridays - she is leaving when we get home. I guess this just helps us prepare for when we really won't be seeing her next year! We are starting to enjoy warmer weather here. Stay warm! Much love, Allyce
