THE KURTZ FAMILY........OUR ADOPTION JOURNEY

Back in January our upstairs bathroom toilet broke and damaged our downstairs kitchen ceiling and hardwood floors. It did thousands of dollars worth of damage all because of a 2.29 cent part. Anyway they are coming in today to start the repairs and we have to move out for 3 days. This is not something I am looking forward too at all. Our entire family has been disrupted along with our routine....if you can call what we do a routine. We are moving into a hotel room while the repairs are being done. We have to move out again when they do the floors.....that will be for a week and we are just going to leave town for that one. Maya went to school and told her teacher she wouldn't be at school for the next week as she is going on a holiday.....huh!!! I got a call from her teacher asking why we hadn't given any sort of notice. I explained to her we were moving into a hotel for a few days, but that the kids will be in school everyday. It turns out Maya associated hotels with holidays and therefore assumed even though we were still in the city she would be on holidays. I had explained this to her all over again that night before bed and at the end of my explanation she asked me if we were taking an airplane!!! It is funny what kids perceive. Our house is in a shambles, but hey we'll get through it.
