Teabags!!

I have just received a delivery of 1600 PG tip teabags from tesco amongst other things. Even the delivery man said "someone likes their tea!" when he dropped them off. I then felt compelled to explain they were being exported to the US, to which he thought he would be funny and ask "so what happens when you run out?", to which i let him know that by the time I drink 1600 cups of tea, I would hope that some family or friends would be planning visit to take me more!
Have just packed them away, along with half a dozen packs of fair trade coffee, baby wipes (they seem so expensive overthere!), baby bath, baby body wash, shampoo and deodorants! By my crazy ordering, you would think that they don't shower or keep themselves clean in the US but I guess I just like what we are used too!
We have contacted a school in Monrovia, which Cerys will hopefully get into. The principle has either an Irish or a Scottish surname, so it must be a good place - ha ha! The school day starts from 8am and ends at 2.55pm and on a wednesday, the children are released at 1pm. Beginning to have nightmares about how I will manage to get myself and 3 children out of the house by 7.30am - man, I only get up at that time now. Think I may have to go to bed at 9pm every night at this rate!
All 3 children had vaccinations yesterday - Tasmin and Ruben finally had their 3 dose of dip/tet/whoop and polio and the Men C and Cerys finally had the MMR and dip/tet booster. The nurse clearly dissaproved that it had taken 7 years to get Cerys MMR'd and again I found myself explaining that it wasn't the injection I disagreed with, merely the fact that babies seemed too small to have all the virus' whirring around in their system. All 3 were so very brave, especially Cery who didn't even flinch! Little did nursey know that she only had it because the US school needs her to have it! I have time on my side for Tasmin and Ruben.
Off to do some more packing and sorting - oh the joy's!
