rachael left this morning. we had a FABULOUS week, jam-packed with sightseeing and running around with small children. she met every person i come in contact with on a daily basis, including the girls' parents - giovanni and natalia. it's kind of funny that she met everyone, actually. anyway, the girls were OBSESSED with rachael. why? well, obviously because she's awesome. but also, because she just gets to play with them and i'm the one who gets to reprimand. in fact, camilla told me yesterday that i could go home to the states and rachael had to stay. nice, camilla. nice.
natalia came in for a few days that she had free to spend with the girls. she played and cuddled with them and let them do whatever they wanted. what did i do? "don't do this." "don't eat that." --> bad guy.
today we went to the park after school to meet up with their best friend and her mom. the mom thought it was fine for them to roll around on the dirty ground and get their coats dirty, and when i said it was time to go the girls ran away to the other mom. cool. now what do i do? i'm no fun. i'm the person who deals with all the shit while everyone else plays with the girls. soooo....i'm ready to NOT be the bad guy. that will be nice.

the parent, or baby sitter, is always the bad guy...not the people who just come to play and leave...well...i hope you have a better day tomorrow...and can't wait til you are back home in the good ole usa!
Trust me, if I knew how to reprimand in Italian I'd have been alllll over that!
