Well, we have been removed from the school as per my last post. Apparently, when you don't pay the 11 cents rent people get pissed. We were told to leave by 5:00 pm. The nannies (Fifi and Lasmi) did an amazing job packing up the clothes. We didn't take everything, but it is all packed up in case we are able to get back and grab stuff. So much for the plants.
What is kind of refreshing is that one of the teachers, Ruth, was teaching on that tall ship from Nova Scotia that sank off the coast of Brazil, last year. She keeps many things in perspective when situations arise. Because she was sitting in a life raft for many hours bailing away, she keeps you grounded about what you need to take with you. All of her stuff is at the bottom of the Atlantic. I guess you learn what is important- lesson 1: don't keep cash in a sock drawer.
What is cute is that we brought the nannies with us. They have never stayed in a hotel before. They were scared and excited about the day. I think they are worried about their jobs- so they should, they are nervous for the children- good, but they get to watch TV- hurray.
I will be interested to their sleeping arrangements. They already tried to have me remove the mattresses so they could sleep on the "mattress under the bed". They were going to sleep on the box spring and give the kids the mattresses. HELL NO - if anyone is getting treated like second class citizens it will be our own children. I am not paying my children anything. It stands to reason to keep the hired help happy. And, they are. They went out hanging in the mall- they are 19 years old, they should experience that.
I am sure that when we get up in the morning that Fifi and Lasmi are sleeping on the floor and the kids will be in these nice, cushy beds. Talk about roles. Zoe and Caden are the bosses.
