I feel like I should be sleeping. It's 8:30 am on a sunday morning! Sleep, where are you? The cause: Alyona woke me up at 6:30. She hasn't woken me up that early in such a long time. She pulled my hair and nursed the entire night. So I gave up and just took her to the sitting room to see if she'd play since I wasn't getting sleep anyway and I hate the hair pulling!
Yesterday was tons of fun. We went to this fun park. And it was just fun to roller skate and bowl and I won four stuffed toys from those machines with a claw. That takes talent! And ohmygod my father's girlfriends daughter has cow-eyes like mine. I gave her over $10 for game tokens! Well, I used alot of the tokens as well. That's how I won everyone stuffed toys. Alyona got to keep the ugly witch and the doll with green hair.
I think I might even miss her the most sometimes. She's such a sweet person and quiet and I wish she was here. She's my brother in-law's fiance and she's from Ethiopia. We're trying to figure out a way to get them more close to us. Hopefuly we'll find some way to make it happen. My brother in-law does model making for buildings and he's actually don't quite a few really big ones in the Emirates and we wanted to try to find him work here in that area and since he has a few years of experience now and has worked on some good projects we think he should be able to find a job here. If someone would give him a working visa. I can't sponser him because he doesn't count as family technically and Syoma can't until he gets citizenship. I hate different countries! Why do there have to be visas? Why does everyone have to be so far away? It's such a bummer!
Syoma is working now. He started last week! He seems to be adjusting to it. For now he's still training. The training will last about four weeks. And it's paid training obviously!
I can't keep this little monster out of the fridge. She loves it. Lately since she knows it's not allowed to pull everything out (though she still does occasionally) she'll just sit there inside of it and laugh at me when I look. Look Mama! Aren't I hilarious or whaaaat? She's such a hoot sometimes. Last night her grandfather chased her all over the fun park. She had such a blast exploring and running around. She kept going towards the ski ball place and trying to take peoples balls. She got one from us and wouldn't let go of it. I had to take it away eventually and you should of heard the squeal. She did not want to part with it. At all. And note all the half empty bottles of pop on the side door. We can never finish a full bottle and then it gets stale so we buy a new one. Ha ha ha!
I'll post later today with a photo of my vintage christmas swap that will be going out tomorrow! I wished I would of taken pictures before I wrapped everything up. Oops!
