What a week

I have never been in Mexico and thought TGIF.  Before now, I never knew what day it was.
This morning - I was for sure thinking, TGIF!
When I picked Carlie up from school one of the first things she told me was: I'm so glad it's Friday!
I was for sure in a self inflicted tail spin this morning.
And, I knew there were going to be days like these I just hadn't had one yet.
Losing the key in the sand, Ben pooping his pants, having Marco scare the heck out of me demanding 500 more pesos, Losing a Mayan bracelet I had picked out for Quinn's Mom, going to pick up laundry and it wasn't even there......all those things weren't really a big deal but today, leaving my tiny new born baby there......Ugh - that sucked.
So, now that that's under my belt - I'm looking forward to the next hump.
I have no idea what that will be but I am positive there will be one.
I pray it is not a health issue. I am trying to feed my children well, fruits, veggies & Emergencies. And I am going to demand a family nap tomorrow - hopefully mine will be next to the pool, I can fall asleep so quickly when I'm laying on a hot rock.
The boys have been invited to their first sleep over. Q said that would happen, the thought hadn't crossed my mind.
Of course they want to and I want them to as well. I just know Carlie and I will be lost with out them.
Lucky for me, Nacho's mom has taken me under her wing and become my angel here. I know the boys will have a fun time and I am interested to see how similar and how different 'sleep-overs' are here in Mexico.
Tomorrow we will find out what time mass is on Sunday. I am really looking forward to that. There is a 'Cat-o-lick' church very close but small and another larger one a little further away.
I was told that there is an English mass somewhere, but I didn't ask where - I want to go to the Spanish version.
Speaking of - keep us in your prayers and thoughts! We need all the help, in every area we can get!
It's crazy here but Life is Good!

  1. ps - as ben was falling to sleep way before 8pm - we were talking about his day, week & what he has put his brain thru in the last 4 days. About how it is a muscle and it is probably sore from trying to understand what everyone is saying, remember what he is supposed to be doing, adjusting to this life! Rest will rejuvenate him. He is all about his friends names and trying to remember them. So we go over those so I can try to help. I suggested he call them all Chachi....anyway the last thing he said is, Mama, I am really starting to understand them!!! WOOHOO that's why we're here!
