Yesterday was garbage day - yeh! The reason for my excitment is because they do NOT pick up garbage weekly here. Instead they retreive it every two weeks. Well I am not sure how your households opperates but a family of five with Syd poop, Corona poop and Tag poop makes for a very stinky situation.....So we have been here 2 weeks and have accumulated a ton of trash. The garbage can they give you is about the size of a frikin thimble--I am not kidding.
We filled our thimble and had extra bags around the thimble. If you can believe it they did not take the garbage---we aren't supposed to be throwing that much trash away...The green thing about Germany is they are very conscience of recycling.
I hadn't gotten the hang of it until today. So now I am the "GARBAGE NAZI." I now inspect everything to cut down on trash for our thimble. Paper, glass, plastic all has a seperate recpetical--just call me the green lady from Bad Soden...
The kids and I went into town yesterday to play in the park and soak up some culture. And boy did we get some culture. You all now how vocal Jack can be, so we are cruising along and a lady is headed our way. Jack shouts "mom, what is wrong with that lady's shirt?" I look up and all I see are a GIANT set of boobs swinging high and low under her shirt (she wasn't wearing a bra!) At this point I am only praying this lady does not speak English as I am pushing everyone to get past her....
Now that our phone is down I can't talk to any of you so if you have a web cam please sign up for SKYPE. You then can read about us but you can see and talk to us over the internet (it is free). My mom calls every morning and night it is great. Hope you all are doing well, keep the comments coming they make me laugh!
Love and hugs
