The ups and downs of living in a foreign country. This is not a daily blog, this is a blog that when something wacko happens, I am posting.

Can it get worse?
Ok, still unpacking. Not sure when that will end. Still amazed at how these movers packed my items. I am finding our recycled papers, now to be recycled in Germany. I am finding my pile of Goodwill items, that I could not find in my house in CT so I assumed that I had already taken them in. Deer repellent (that really stinky spray) in with the winter clothes! Keeping that in the garage for now. To top it all off I find one of their tool bags, filled with tools, a t-shirt and a rechargeable hand held drill with all the bits! Who packs their own tool bag? Idiots!
Then as I go get my girls from the school bus I get a flat tire! Yes this car is only 1 week old. The grills on the street are not flush to the sidewalk...as I know know, and the corner tore my wheel! The cars park 1/2 on the sidewalk so that other cars can get by on the narrow roads. So that is what I was doing, what I have been doing for 3 weeks now. I guess I will not park there anymore. So since I do not have a cell phone yet (thank you iPhone back order) the girls and I had to walk home, straight up our big, monstrous hill! Then I have to find someone that fixes tires (Ben is in meetings all day...like he could fix one anyway). So I get a tow truck and he speaks English! yea me! I told him call me when he was 10 min away so that I could walk back down the hill. They came, they got, I walked back. Really can my day get any worse?
