Hello there!!!
Today was a crazy day. Even now, Janice and most of the girls are not here.
The day started out fairly normal but took a strange turn at about 10:00 this morning when Janice and the kids' language teacher up and walked out because she got mad at Payton for telling her to use their book to teach the Arabic. (It is the curriculum book that was given to us to use by her "boss".) She lasted a whole 4 sessions before she threw in the towel. Very bizarre.
Then, Janice made 2 trips to the hospital that's not too far from here. One of the neighbor kids - he's only a couple months old - is really sick so she took the mom and a few other family members to the hospital with her. Here, like in France, food and clothing isn't supplied by the hospital so Janice made a second trip there with food and other 'essentials' so that everyone could have a reasonably comfortable night.
Then, at about 7 o'clock Janice and the older girls went to the airport to pick up one of our employees who had been in Gabon for the last 3 months. After that, they were planning on running back here, dropping her off (she lives in our neighborhood), and then driving to a local restaurant for a girls night out. One problem: the car quit right outside our gate just after dropping her off. So, at about 8:45 PM we were finally able to get the car parked in our yard and after grabbing another car, off they went. It's now just after nine PM. Only Payton, me, and Ethan are up. Both fellas are doing math right now. I'm hoping to play Payton a game of football when he is finished.
Hope you all have a great day.
