House Mom Blues!

I woke up feeling much better on Wednesday. I am still not better but I am MUCH better than I was! Thank God! Thank you for your prayers! I went to the girls house at noon and after lunch hermana Maria left to go to her house. Hermana Paula came and helped me from the other house but not really. I mean most all of us went outside to play. I played futbol with the kids. Because Yhonson thinks that I should be good at futbol since I am good at basketball or something like that, ha ha! No but I was a goal keeper for most of the time but not the whole time because I made two goals! Woo-Hoo! It was fun but super hot and I was wearing no shoes and then flip flops because the ground was too hot and Irma kicked the ball and it broke my nail off my toe and it was bleeding. It was no bueno. And Yhonson kicked me so hard with the ball that the imprint of the ball was on my leg and i have bruise now, ha ha. Only with Yhonson do I put up with that because he's a boy just being a boy.
But anyway, then came dinner and that is when I was alone as a House Mother.
It is a little bit difficult because some of the kids try to push the limit with me because I do not know everything that they are allowed to do and not to do. And they do not always listen to me even though I know they understand and that is frustrating when I have to repeat it over and over again. But I do not know if it is because some of them have attitude or if it is a respect issue that needs to be addressed.
But time will only tell. The older girls and I stayed up listening to music on my computer and taking photos and singing. But the younger girls would not listen to me and go to bed so they got in trouble with Hermana Gladys who is the cook and lives in that house right now. Then today we watched A Cinderella Story and Aquamarine in Spanish. And did the normal routine of things. I was by myself as a house mom all day. And it was good but I am not going to lie, I am exhausted. I love those girls.
I got off at 8:30 and have just been sitting because I am so tired.
Now it is time for bed and back to work tomorrow =]
Yhonson came back from work today with a carved stone of a turtle and he gave it to me. So now i am trying to think of a good name. I will let you know what it is. He also came back the other day with a pigeon and it made me think of you Tiffany and Petey and the good ole baseball days..
Sending my love!
