Street fair and the cleaning lady quits...

Having the cleaning lady quit wasn't the end of the world but she was already so behind...

We started having tons of absences. She was showing up late, leaving early, not giving any notice... When I said something she decided to take another day off. I did mention that the timing wasn't good. I was actually more unhappy with the time I dropped by to put groceries away. She simply wasn't there at 10am so I called. She hadn't left me a message, nothing...

The problem was that Daniel came home early and I had to take Talia back to school. She arrived while I was gone and Daniel started lecturing her. They ended up butting heads (oh so rare here in France!) and she stomped out.

Daniel was fine with that. Since she quit, she only gets paid till the day she left. If we had fired her, we would have had to pay her a months' salary. She isn't clever enough to figure this out so I'm sure Daniel provoked her and she fell in the trap. I accused him of doing so, he denies it but there's no denying that it's me who is screwed!

So now I'm having to deal with all these phone calls from the announcement Daniel put in the paper. I scheduled an interview today and the woman didn't show. Oh well. Hopefully the one on Monday will...

The fact that my phone doesn't work doesn't help. My ringer was too quiet so I stopped by France Telecom/Orange. He managed to screw it up and now it doesn't work. I went back and all he could give me was a phone number to call. So my cell is blocked completely.

On Saturday, we had the local street market they have every year.

I took the kids. They went on a ride;

I swear it was half Davina's size!



They kept asking for more of both...

This was on the back of a truck. Where the address to send it to Jay Leno??
