Never a dull moment!


Man, oh man! Finally today I feel like my old self again! The girl who can get anything done! HA!

The girls and I set out this morning to find the grocery store that is close by yet well hidden from Canadian eyes! WE FIND IT AND IT IS FANTASTIC! It has familiar things like packages of El Paso taco mix, pulp free OJ, and microwave popcorn! I tell Bruce all the time, I don't need much but what I need I have to have!!!! We now have a place to stock up on comfort food before we head back to Germany. It's all good right?
One more stop and we're off to the park. As you may have guessed, or perhaps forseen, Olivia is really struggling. This morning I asked her to give some thought to what could make her journey easier. She decided a sketch pad would really help her enjoy her stay here. I can do that, right?! Ha, you didn't think I could but I did it! Then we innocently decide to take the escatlator down to pick up some lunch for a picnic in the park...

I honestly don't know what happened but all of the sudden the escatlator came to screeching halt and a man ran up to Olivia. She was fine, he was freaking out. Never good in a strange language! Poor Olivia thought she was in trouble so she was apologizing all over the place. The man was all over her foot so I looked down at and that's when I saw what was left of her Croc!!

After a while, and allot of gestering, they give us 15 Euro to buy us new shoes... We go home, (well back to the hotel) and I really just want to tell Bruce what happened.
Can I do that?
Nope.
The girl who breezes through the near dismemberment of her child can't make a freakin' phone call! I can't figure out how to use the phone, and the damn hotel clerk doesn't speak a word of English and something is going on with my email! Of course I now ask the question that leads to my undoing WHAT IF SHE HAD REALLY BEEN HURT?! I know I shouldn't go there but I went there anyways. Sometimes you're gone before you realize that you left!
It's 2:18pm or rather 14:18(I hate the 24 hour clock, it's stupid) and there is a minibar, what do ya' think?!
