We're back in Kuwait and it's been a real blast so far, you guys.

| Taken on night one, after Juliet puked all over the living room floor and Nory woke up confused and soaked in sweat. |
HAAA!!!!!
Now you know it's not all fun and games.
A list of highlights:
1) Everyone is super jet-lagged. This is the first time we've really struggled to get back on track as a family, with both girls taking two big 5-6 hour naps rather than one big 12 hour sleep. And, to make it more fun, the long naps are separated by 3-4 hours. Of toys. And crawling practice. And playdoh.
2) At least we can turn to caffeine in times of exhaustion. Oh wait. Our coffee maker is broken. (Don't worry, that was put on the priority list and is now fixed.)
3) Our A/C was broken until last night and the temperature inside the flat was 30 degrees. We looked awesome with our sweat-moustaches but made for horrible company because a) we weren't dressed all that appropriately and b) we felt like killing each other. We are so thankful for the men who worked outside the window yesterday afternoon (in 45 degree heat!) to replace the compressor. Murder is no longer imminent in the Parkinson house ;)
4) Phil was going to pick up the car on Friday morning until we learned that cement had been laid and our car was stuck where it was until the following day. Saturday came around and Phil arrived at the car to find the battery dead. Three different vehicles were unable to revive it but a mechanic eventually came and the problem was solved. Until we tried to take our things into school today and the battery issued returned.
Luckily, there is a mechanic right beside our building.
Unluckily, this mechanic is in jail.
We are currently waiting for another guy to come with a new battery.....
Hopefully we get the jetlag and car problems under control sooner rather than later. Work starts on Tuesday! (Which means we are probably in for it....)
#awesome
