So the day started just like any other kids watching cartoons and us waking to the sounds of their laughter except, it was 0545!! What!! 0545 and we are all up and staring at each other - what now?
We decided to eat a bite of breakfast and get ready for the day, all done by 0830. If you know me at all I was slightly lost as to what to do at that time of the morning all dressed, kids fed and ready to do whatever it is we are to do. What are we suppose to do right now? We meandered through the morning waiting until about 110 to call Viva since she was to pick us up about 12:30 to show us around a bit and gather some things. We did go by the PX (aka the military "Wal-mart" or "K-Mart" for my non-military speaking Friends) as we arrived there was an American Red Cross table set up and I thought what a perfect opportunity to see what they have to offer and ask questions about their volunteer program. The lady at the table was so sweet, I told her we had just arrived last night and she was just amazed at how nice I looked. I explained I had been up forever and had nothing else to do with myself, she was so complimentary.
It went straight to my head. I was thinking yeah, that's me, Jet Set. Mrs. International, " You need me where? Italy, Rome, The Americas' darling? Pedro, Get my bags, I'm off" We carried on through the day and arrived back to the room and I guess just stopping allowed for the over-whelming OMG I'm going down, DONE. OVER. I. AM. ASLEEP. I was out for the night at 1530 in the afternoon. I did wake up to feed the children around 2200 since the kids where hungry and Steve and I where ummm....resting then back to bed we went. The whole process started over again this morning when at 0600 Steve and I where awake and just lying in bed. I will not give in today we will make it to a normal bedtime and get ourselves together, maybe.
Well we are moving from Westpac Lodge to Camp Courtney today and I am not sure if we will have Internet access there so do not be alarmed if it is a few day until you hear from us. I will post pics once I can find a "Hot Spot" to connect our computer. They are great!! You guys are going to L.O.V.E the little tiny cars over here! Marissa looks like the paparazzi snapping pics of people in their little cute cars. I wonder if the Japanese ever shake their heads at the Americans walking around taking pics of everything they see? Ha! That's backwards huh?
