So yeah... So as life ususally is... not to much to report on... LIfe is just geting back to normal... The family is going out of town this weekend... so I had a nice weekend of relaxing to look forward to... But... Hehehe... I sound so mean! Tess got her appendix removed like... I dunno... 2 or so hours ago... so... My plans have chanegd a bit.... Tomorrow after Martine and the kids leave I'm going to Naarden to help out in Tess's neck of the woods! I get to make some extra money by helping Myrium with the kids this weekend.. Plus I get to go see Tess and help take care of her... Though she will be in the hospital for 3 days.. AndI go home on Sunday... She probably will go home on Sunday... So I can at least help her get settled! So yeah! I'll keep everyone up to date as best I can...
In other news... Tanja for the last family contacted me... She wants me to come and see the kids before I leave... Which I totally want to so sounds lke a good idea.. But in the email she said taht what I did was wrong and such... Which I totally agree that I shouldn't have written all taht bad stuff about her and her family... But i just hope taht my going there wont be so she can have a talk with me about it so she can coem to terms with it or whatever.. cause... I pretty much feel like I'm over it... But whatever...
Also.... So when I go home I will no longer be an au pair speaking Dutch... SO I need a new blogspot... So if you have any ideas of what I might have... Be original... And think about Becky... And leave your suggestions!
Hey I lost 3 lbs last month! NOt so bad for all the crap we ate while on vacation...
I'm also sad about Halloween... They don't do it here.. so I wont do anything for it.... Bummer huh?
OK so I can't really think of anything else to write! So yeah! Love ya!!!!

The girls have gone...
Well after 3 ultra fun filled weeks having Rachael and Laura here in Holland they have gone home... I sent them off in the airport this morning at the airport... It's sad to have them go but I think we were all glad to get back to soem normailcy.... But Racahael is right it does make me wannna go home... But still not desperatly.. I'm just excited to go now...
We had so much fun! The first week was my bday... the nest weekend we wnet to Paris and that was great! I think the Eiffel TOwer is so lovely... but I do agree with Rachael that it's all so touristy! But if you look past the crap of Paris you can see all the beauty that made it touristy in the first place! Again we went to Disneyland Paris and I was disapointed by the lack of Disneyness there! I mean it all looks liek it but they just arent teh same kind of people... I know its dumb but I dropped my hat on one of teh rides and I told the ride operater and they tried to find it and when they couldn't they just said sorry someone must have stollen it.. Yes I'm sure that is what happened but in my Disney we would have written soemone a no Strings attached slip to give them a new hat! Then they sent me to city hall... I went there and again the same thing... So I was just so depressed! Then we wnet over to The Walt Disney Studios and we got to take pics with Sulley... so silly enough I felt better after that! We rode Rock and Roller coaster twice and soem other things! Then we headed back to Magic Kingdom... Checked at City Hall again.. They didnt have my hat but they said they did and gave me another lost one... I knew it wasnt mine cause the person had cut the tag off and I hadn't... I wanted to keep the tag that said Disneyland Paris.. Oh well! We had a really great day there!
I had a nice week home with Rachale and then it was off to London! I Love London!! IT's really nice! I feel like everything you want is there... So yeha I really luiked it... We went to saw Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Tower Bridge, the London Tower, Tate Modern Art Museum, Shakespears Globe theater, Saw Of MOntreal in concert, went to the musical Avenue Q, Ate fisn and chips, saw a movie, picadilly Square, Camden Market, Ate at Foxtrot Oscar a Gordon Ramsay resurant, and sheesh I know more... Oh Buckingham Palace, teh Queens Gallery, and yeha so much I can't remember...
We really had alot of fun! I also went to meet Edward a friend at Harrods it was really nice to meet him... I dont think he liked the resturant I picked much... but I thought it was great!
So yeah! That's my short story of this month! for more extended versions you can check out rachaels blog at http://lifeisrachael.blogspot.com
I think her blogs are great and she took a daily journal so she might have soem more details yah know!
So yeah now I' m on the downhill stretch to go home! I'm really sad but I'm also excited to see my niece! Martine is working on getting a new au pair so lets hope!!!

Oh happy day! I"m so so so so so excited for tomorrow morning!!!
Yes it’s finally here! Rachael and Laura are, from what I know, on a plane at this moment flying to Holland! I seriously cannot wait! They'll be here tomorrow morning at 1045! And Tess and I get to pick them up at the airport! They'll be here for 3 weeks! And it’s gonna be loads of fun I think!
My birthday is on Friday and they'll be here for that! Ugh I'm gonna be 24.... Somehow I feel like I'm too young to be 24... and too old, being 24, to be who I am right now... You know... Au pairs should be like 18 right? hahaha! Nah I think older is wiser and better! But then I feel like... crap. I'm 24, shouldn't I be married or something? But I am so far away from any of that! haha! So yeah.... Nun bout that! 6 years... I’ll be 30... I think I should just kill myself off before then... hehe...
Sheesh I can't wait! Last night I couldn't sleep I was so excited! But I really need to be a little more productive! It's nearly 9pm and I haven't done half of what I wanted to do today... I need to finish my room... and I wanted to take a shower... hmmm maybe I'll just do that tomorrow.. hmmm hmmm hmmm....
Well... I think I should go... I've been spending the day watching season 3 of Friends... I'm on the last 5 episodes... so I'm gonna watch as I clean and organise... too bad I cant watch in the shower... I think I would shower more if I had a TV in the shower... or if I could read in the shower... I always get too bored. and feel like its wasted time... haha! But TV watching is not!
Well I'll try to keep you updated to the happenings while the girls are here!!!
