I find it difficult to write lately. I've been sick and busy with the kids. When I sit down to write all I want to do is complain and I'm not sure I want my complaints posted for everyone to see. I am sure that many people can identify with being really sick and having to care for children an entire day, from when they wake till when they sleep. It's not easy and I wonder how much harder it is when the children aren't your own and they are moody because they miss their parents.
So, because I am sick I went to the doctor because I was having trouble getting through an entire day and being that the medicine and everything here is different I wasn't sure exactly what I should be taking. It was quite an experience as the doctor didn't speak English and I am pretty sure a lot went unspoken. The grandma was there to translate, but I'm not sure she was doing a very good job as translator. Either way I came away assuming that it has something to do with my sinuses and/or something that is in between my ear and my nose and has something to do with the trunk of an elephant (?). She gave me four different kinds of medicines--two that go in my nose and two that I have to drink--which have seemed to help me immensely. I can breath again and make it through the night without coughing the entire time.
Christmas is approaching. I can't believe that it is less than a week away. It is different being here for Christmas...the kids don't seem that excited about it--I keep trying to get them to watch Christmas movies with me, or listen to Christmas music, or make Christmas crafts, or make Christmas cookies--but they will have none of it! This weekend though I plan to make Christmas cookies with them while listening to Christmas music and I will make sure they enjoy every minute of it! I just have to find Christmas cookie cutters. Even though the States really commercialize Christmas--it is really easy to find Christmas things there...here it's not so easy. And there are no Christmas programs on tv!!
In other news, I'm going to Paris on Tuesday. Something to look forward to!
