A stranger in a new country
written @ 2:32 p.m. on 2003-04-25

Peter and Trevor just left to goto Whitecourt. It is a 45 min drive, and all they want was cheese buns. What a waste of time. They have been home for a week, which is why I haven't written, and they need to go back to work soon. They are driving me crazy.

I have been sick for a week now, and they haven't done anything to help out. Last night I did not feel like making supper so I said they could. They decided to make steak and potatoes, salad and corn. Not even 2 min after I left the room Peter came out to ask me where we keep the potatoes. What else could I do but laugh. We have lived in this house for 2 yrs, and they have always been in the same place. Is this a sign that they don't do enough around here. I think that it is. Well at least Trevor is leaving soon, but Peter really doesn't do anything to help out. I don't mind when he is working, but he has been home for a week.

Some balance is what we need here.

The snow is finally almost gone. I talked to Marion and her mother yesterday. Her mother is concerned that Marion will not be able to adjust to the temp difference when she moves here. I didn't know that it doesn't snow in Belgium. It took some convincing, but Chantal is not so worried anymore.

I still worry sometimes that I made a mistake agreeing to let this stranger come live with us for a year, but her mother assures me that Marion is a good kid. I hope that everything works out in the end.

Well not much else is new here, went to moms for easter. I was to sick to partake in the feast, but Sydney had a very good time. She tormented Adrian, was spoiled by Tammy and mom, and ate alot of junk. Good thing she never gets tired, maybe I'll let her spend a week or so at the farm this summer. Now if mom and dad can keep up with her is a whole other story.
