After forgetting for two days to actually make the pb&j sandwich for my kids, I finally brought two sandwiches to school yesterday, cut in quarters since I didn't want to spoil their appetite for snack or lunch. One of the kids had actually done his homework, but still didn't mind eating mine. They seemed to like it well enough, but I think they were more impressed with the fact that I made them a sandwich and brought it in for them to eat than they were with the actual sandwich. But now they have all had a pbj. Now I just have to work on this whole tooth fairy thing...
This weekend should be busy enough. I'm going to try to do some cleaning and laundry tomorrow before I go out shopping with Cherita. No one has drying machines here - everything's hung out to dry. So if I want to wear some of my dirty clothes next week, they need to be washed and hung up by tomorrow morning, or they may not be dry by monday. Cherita's going to Dongdaemun, which has the largest underground mall in Asia. I'm a bit excited. Mostly just because I enjoy window shopping (unlike my mother), especially when windows look like this:
The mix of 80's neon colors and large letters, incorrect grammar and punctuation ("THIS IS A REALLY HARD.) and references (Batman) that I know the Korean people don't get just cracks me up. And then Sunday morning is my second Korean lesson, and in the afternoon I may go with Cherita to Dobang (I think that's where she's going) to check out a tattoo parlor. And no, mom. I am not going to get another tattoo.

That's what I LOVE about our new house. The washer and dryer!!! I don't know how I ever lived without it. (I hope I am not making you homesick!)
nope! i've lived without dishwashers, washers, and dryers before, so the fact that my washing machine is automatic (I put the clothes in and press start - it checks to see how many clothes I put in to determine how much water to put in) is rather nice. especially since all the buttons are labeled in Korean.
