Twisted Tuesday

Went to the orphanage as usual had a nice time with the kids but the twist was that we were leaving tomorrow. So that means this is Jaclyn's last day with the kids. That do not go so well. When we were leaving she was sobbing and of course so was I. These kids were so sad that we were leaving. They were really sad to see Jaclyn go. They all fell in love with her it was unbelievable to see how they bonded with her. She fit right in here they took her with them to their meals, homework everywhere they went she went.
When we left Kiril was crying so hard he didnt want us to go. He was holding on to Jaclyn it was ripping my heart again. All the kids were very upset.  Valera was just hugging me for dear life and I was telling him in his ear how much he is loved by so many people. He said "Its ok Noelle, I will be ok". They all walked us to the door including Tatiana. We said goodbye and heard the door slam behind us. We were waiting out front for Zhanna and we hear someone yelling for us. It was Anna running out to us. She came running in  our arms to say good by. I told her we looked for her and she was not there.
We came home and Zhanna had some people over to meet us. Of course I looked a HOT mess. We had a little pizza get together. The pizza was SO good. She had two one with chicken and one with all kinds of seafood (octopus) DELICIOUS!!!!
The drama is about to begin. Let me start you from the beginning we were told that we would never be able to go home as planned so we were not to happy because we have to pay the penalty for the flight change. The big problem is is that the 14 hour train ride has to mesh with the plane departure. Not so easy. So we got a call last night that the plane was full can't leave Thursday. Maybe no train on Thursday because they fill up so now we have to try to figure out a way to Kiev which is a VERY long drive 9 hours maybe if it goes well!!! My travel agent said you need to book a flight or we will loose everything. So we booked a flight for Friday morning flying to Munich than to Newark, not Phila like we hoped. The big issue is its $1000.00 to make these changes.  We were not prepared for this. WE ARE NOT HAPPY CAMPERS RIGHT NOW!!!  It looks like my next trip I will not be going home with Stephane like we planned after court. I just spent that money.
Please say a pray that we get out of here today by train so we can catch our 5:30 am flight to Munich.
A very TWISTED TUESDAY!!!!

Zhanna made us Borscht!!
