School is delayed once again... so I have been getting into trouble in other ways... literally. I think I need a vacation out of the country.

Where to begin? At the moment I am plagued with an ear infection which seems to be everlasting. Thankfully, I have an appointment for my yearly medical scheduled tomorrow. The coincidences of life are amazing arent they? I really did not plan to fall sick right before going to visit the doctor. Instead I wanted them to find all the other ( Read more... )

I'm picking up many bad habits here. The first is that I have taken to drinking tea Benenize style: Lipton (yes horrible Lipton) with a huge dose of sweetened condensed milk. Second...

I will have to definately start searching to see what type of materials I can find to work on their fine motor skills. Also, seems Mama is interested because she cannot read. It is hitting double... teach the women ( Read more... )

Fridays are nice days to end wars. Do you think it will happen?

Another birthday come and gone. No huge party this year... That will have to wait until I am in a developed country...or earning a salary. The custom here is to take the entire neighborhood out to celebrate your birthday. Unfortunately I didnt have those types of funds. Instead I shared my cake with a very nice family here. (It was kind of odd ( Read more... )
