Day 1850. Yesterday morning the cleaning lady was supposed to come, but she postponed it to today. I was glad I was able to lie back down after Randy had left with the kids to take them to kindergarten. It was a different day anyway, as Randy left at 11:45 to go pick up his new permit to stay in Austria that is valid for 3 years, just like the last one.

Day 1848. Finally Sunday and no reason to get up in the morning! I had asked Sammy to sleep in the night before, especially since they were going to bed an hour later than usual, but of course, he did not but got up even earlier. I tried to go back to sleep many times, but Randy was doing stuff upstairs and not taking the kids downstairs, and so they woke me up every few minutes.

Day 1846. Yesterday was the first day of an announcement storm with rain like you only have it about every 100 years. Not only that, it was really cold. We put winter coats on them, then the rain coats that I had bought for their camps in summer. They were ready for the weather! Randy took them to kindergarten, while I tried to lie back down, but I couldn't sleep any more.
