Feliz Año Nuevo
happy new year and all that.
spent new years in navojoa mexico with our orphans. i was probably in bed before they were. HA!
i had 4 of them in my bed before i had to boot them out of the room for me to go to bed. it's COLD in those rooms and they were loving my flannel sheets. they slipped their legs and feet under the covers and sat like birds on a wire and watched bob esponge on the television.
i sat in the chair and read my books, fed them and made sure all the wrappers and crumbs ended up in the basura (trash). they are very undisciplined that way, but i was going to have to sleep in that bed once they all left. . .
even with diligence, the bed looked like a parade had gone through there once they all tumbled out. well, at least they were warm for a time. . .
i love being with the kids and could do it for longer if i had my best friend with me. . .my wonderful husband. unfortunately, he has a j.o.b. and is the sole support for the household right now. a problem i hope is soon rectified with the new year and new budgets. sigh.
nothing is guaranteed in mexico. nothing. i had to drive some 6 miles in to town to even have a phone conversation with him. the wireless didn't put out a strong enough signal to do any good for my laptop and i couldn't seem to get the right combo of phone card to work with the telephones on campus. so i had to suffice with a 5 minute phone call once a day. that just didn't work.
i'm not sure what the answer is and am open to suggestions, should you have any.
meals. oh goodness. i have never had such horrible food before for that many days on end. how can you make refried beans awful? make them runny, tasteless and serve them at every single, stinking, meal. "si, poco" was the phrase of the day.
well, i had pizza tonight and was in heaven.
took a dirt bike ride today. w made mods to my ttr230 that gave it much more power. that was fun! it is such a light bike, i can pick it up myself. i like that.
tomorrow i'm having a "girls day" with my mom. she's cool and i like spending time with her.
