Every day

This week has been pretty boring. I have stayed in and worked on homework and French and that's about it. I am going home at the end of April to take tests and before I take those tests I need to have the work completed, I am behind. By default I have only spent 5 euros this week. I still have 40 euros in change but at least I am saving money.
D and Ir always ask me about my home and my siblings and my life in the US. I was explaining to Ir the concept of states (their last au pair was from New York) and she pretty much understands it, they have different regions here in France as well. Then she asked me "Is Canada a state as well?" :)
Today I picked up the girls from school and we ate lunch, which was cold raw salmon, fresh cucumbers and tomatoes with salt (yuck), and plain yogurt (yes very healthy), afterward they played a little and I made their beds. E came home and was surprised to see the beds made and said "oh Joy you don't have to do that X will". I am certainly not being overworked here. The most "housework" I ever do is putting our dishes in the dish washer when the girls and I are done with lunch. At dinner E does it. I am so lucky that I ended up with this family. Also, I am very thankful for X she is amazing!
I think the most exciting thing that has happened to me this week is that I finally figured out how to correctly use the washing machine. I used to pull the clothes out of the washer and they would be soaking wet, I literally had to ring out each article of clothing several times before I hung it up to dry. Well today I did laundry and went to freetranslation.com and typed in what was on the washer. Turns out I had been pushing a button that stopped the washer before it reached the last part of the cycle. Who knew?
Tomorrow my dad comes!!! E and S are throwing a dinner party for him which is incredibly kind of them, the dinner will be fun, E and S always invite very interesting people.
Also Sarah and Nolan come tomorrow as well! They will be here until Wednesday and then they will train over to Paris where hopefully Alex and I will be able to meet them for the weekend!
