Just got a call - Saturday at 10:30 a.m. we are having another home visit with the exchange student people to make sure Janni is in a good, safe environment. Which he is. I promise.
So we will be using this as a reason to clean the upstairs of the Leahy casa....and the teens are really excited that they get to clean their rooms and bathrooms. (Not.)
All I can think of is a really funny sign that my friend/trainer has by her front door: "Remember, as far as anyone knows we are a nice, normal family."
In all seriousness, I completely understand why they are so thorough in their vetting of host families. I would want nothing less for any kid and/or parent. But I'm not going to lie, I'm not looking forward to"supervising" my kids as they make sure the upstairs won't terrify the nice lady coming to do the follow-up home visit!
Disclaimer: Tom gleefully informed me that I had a grammatical error on a previous blog entry. I'm not surprised. When I first started this blog my goal was to post photos of Janni somewhere that his mom (Maria) could easily access and learn about what Janni was up to in the U.S. - not create another "work" responsibility. Yes, I am a writer by trade, but I never wanted this blog to be a responsibility, just a joy. I am a terrific speller but a horrible typist so sometimes the results aren't quite perfect. So buckle up and enjoy the ride. This is real life people.
