Babies and Barney

August 4

     It’s time marker day! Week #6, checke! Done and counted for. I wasn’t exactly in my best mood this morning though. I had a couple of disturbing dreams last night and I really didn’t feel like doing anything. I guess I didn’t do a very good job at not letting that show. I was rather quiet and pensive…I didn’t blow up at anyone or anything like that, but I kept to myself. I was supposed to have class with the girls at 9, but there was too much going on. Evelin was busy with the payroll and talking the nannies and the psychologist. The girls were finishing up their homework that the psychologist had given them and they were making that their excuse to not have class. I couldn’t really do much without Evelin there to translate and I was already in a bad mood to begin with, so I just called off class altogether. I felt kind of bad for doing that, because again, it’s not about me, it’s about what’s best for the girls, but I felt like I needed to get my stuff together first. I may just try to have the class on Tuesday in the afternoon.

     Today was another one of those days though that I was thankful for babies. I got to hold Christopher and he was in a very silly, playful mood. He made me laugh a lot, which absolutely lit up my mood. It’s hard to keep a straight face when you have something so precious smiling back at you.

     After having lunch, Jen and I chilled a bit in the room while Evelin finalized her shopping list. Today was food shopping day, so Jen and I went with Evelin and Leslie to Talanga. We didn’t have the truck this time since Gracie isn’t back yet, so we just had to take a taxi. We made our usual stops – mercado, dispensa, the bread shop, but we did pretty good on time. When we got back to the house my first instinct was to retreat to the room, which I did. I pulled out the guitar and played a little bit. Not long after though, Evelin had some Barney music playing outside our room, so I decided to join her in her little fun time with the boys. We put our right hand in…and our right hand out…and shook ‘em all about! Haha! Gotta love Barney!
