we did a carwash today and I am sosososooooooooooooooooo tired.  the boys really are not ready to be on their own. they are NOT repsonsible and I feel very unsafe leaving them alone. So, from now on, one parent will have to be there the whole time. quite simple. I have done the carwashes repeatedly thinking eventually they would be ok on thier own, but this simply has not panned out. they turn the radios on really loud, they move people's stuff around in the car, they forget to put the small carpets back in and worst of all, they get ready to send the car off still dirty !!!!  Anyway, better safe than very very sorry - each parent will have to commit !!

funny story:  this morning only 2 of the boys showed up to wash cars - Nacho and Chino. Later on Andres came.  So, I called Leo and his dad - his dad  said he was sick and I said - no problem, he doesnt have to mess with the water - he can note down the cars that come and pay up. so i talked to leo and explained this to him and went to get him.  as soon as he gets to the main square, he jumps out of the car and starts washing with the boys. whatever !!!!

the i go for memo. i had heard that he and his mom had an argument cause he did not want to come to the sqaure. so ...i went hunting for him as well. he was "in the bath" and i waited about 10 minutes. then Rex decides to growl at Beathoven, who is their HUGE saint bernard. who, obviously, growls right back. i start yelling LOUDLY for Irma and Memo. finally irma comes and gets her dog. memo shows up at the door and i ask for his help finding Cristian who is not at his own house. Memo jumps in the car and we go hunting for Cristian.  who, by the way, was supposed to come and see me three days ago !!  we find out that he has gone to guerrero. i tell the family to tell him that his TIA BLANCA is hunting for him !!  Memo and i go to the square and what does he do ?????  jumps  out and starts washing cars too. whatever !!!!

i am exhausted.  it was  a long day.

the great news is that Valentin dropped by and gave them a car to wash. when i was dropping it off, Valentin mentions that he wants to take them on a looooooong bike ride next Saturday. i asked him to come to the park and give the speach on how to prepare. he did and it was fun. he is going to teach them how to use their MIND and forget about the body. very cool. VERY COOL

I also had some outstanding news. Eddy picked up the bikes from Ray yesterday. yahoooooo. so they are in ensenada. and ernesto, our good friend ernesto, took franks bikes and jose's bikes to TJ. his brother will then take them  to ensenada when he has a chance !!!!  I AM THRILLED. I AM HAPPY.  REALLY REALLY HAPPY !!!!
