I'm in desperate need of an internal GPS....

Hi-I've been here like 10 days I think, or more, and I still can't remember how to get to many of the places I've already been to! Argh!

So yesterday was a day of going to the park, eating ice cream, sending postcards... Simple and yet absolutely perfect. 

Today didn't go very smoothly with the kids---they are all a bit sick unfortunately... so although we did make it to the ice dealer (where I got a banana split--yum!), the park wasn't such a huge success.  2 1/2 year old Jan decided to throw sand all over 9 month old Maya's hair, and while she was crying, 5 year Thies jumped off of part of the play structure and hit his head. With two of us, though, it worked. Frauke took Thies to the doctor and I went back to the house with Maya and Jan. It's really amazing seeing what you have to do as a mother. It's not like a 9-5 job, where there is eventually an end. Once you have a child, you're a parent 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And although I can see that it will take a lot, I do eventually want to have kids. Because I can see that it's worth it. However there is a lot of time for that, and I want to travel and see the world first :)

This weekend will be another exciting one for me. I've booked a train ticket-albeit an expensive one-to go and see Kristin in Jena-yay! Will be very cool to see her again after a year of being apart.

Time to go to sleep...or watch videos on you tube. Wonder which one I'll choose?

Later, Molly
