-i was awakened at 4:15 this morning by none other than, ella.....
-i’ve been awake ever since.
-we laid in bed until time to let the guard out of the gate....which is 5:45.
-i’m tired of setting my alarm for 5:45.
-i’ve decided to start getting up when we let the guard out instead of going back to sleep.
-i’m getting a lot accomplished during my very, very, very long day.
-i’m tired.
-we ate cake for breakfast...again. we will most likely eat it until there isn’t any left.
-it was a big cake.
-i don’t feel badly about eating cake for breakfast, or serving it to my children for that matter.
-i think cake is in the same category as donuts.
-i don’t know why i think that.
-maybe ‘cause i like cake donuts?
-after “breakfast” i began making french bread from scratch.
-then i made parmesan cheese sauce....from scratch.
-then i woke up the other kids.
-the ones who didn’t get up at 4:15.
-the kids who actually love me.
-they ate their “breakfast.”
-school started.
-griffin had a friend come pick him up for a play date.
-randy and hudson don’t like the term “play date”
-they think it’s lame.
-it was griffin’s first “no mommy” hang out with a friend time.
-griffin came back with dry pants....so it was successful as far as i’m concerned.
-it should be considered successful as far as the other mommy is concerned, too.
-while griffin was away, we had P.E.
-it was circuit training today.
-hudson hit ella in the head with a dumb bell.
-i’m not sure how to spell dumb bell....
-between being knocked in the head with a large metal weight, and the fact that she had been up for almost 7 hours by that time....ella had a break down.
-ella took a very long nap.
-i don’t think it was concussion induced...but i don’t know that it can be completely ruled out.
-we homeschooled some more.
-we had sandwiches for lunch.
-we have sandwiches almost everyday.
-the bread here is very heavy.
-it’s better as toast than it is a sandwich.
-another missionary kid came over because her parents had somewhere they needed to be.
-she and olivia made paper dolls. like dolls out of actual paper.
-olivia has also made a doll house....out of paper.
-as toys go, it’s one of the saddest i’ve ever seen.
-i’m impressed with her creativity.
-that girl can really work a piece of paper!
-but it’s a house out of paper nonetheless....
-she also makes furniture for the house.....out of paper.
-i finally got a hold of the ballet teacher in swaziland.
-i’ve been trying for a couple of days....
-did you know you still get a busy tone here?
-i don’t think there is voice mail either....
-i think this b/c phones ring and ring and ring and ring and ring and ring......
-i skyped with my dad....briefly...he was driving.
-YIKES!
-i made dinner.
-i did dishes.
-randy taught a class at the college, preached chapel at the college, went to some rural area and had a meeting with an awesome pastor, and had an all around good missionary-ing day. :)
p.s.
i think the cock roaches in africa have longer antennae than the ones in texas. i’m not sure if this has any effect on me, other than the fact that i have seen cock roaches, and i wish that i had not.
