It is 3:30 in the
afternoon and I am sitting on the porch writing to you all. I am pretty sure I
have worn out my help today…… hopefully they show back up tomorrow. The morning
was great- did a nice 20 minute run around the house, push-ups, and squats. I am pretty sure once I get a little more comfortable
with life here I can venture out to the street outside our house and run up and
down it. BUT first I have to learn some Créole. We got to the O today around 9-
walked today instead of the bus which was nice but a little nerve racking.
Nothing to be scared of, ya just never know. Angie will be leaving this Friday
for a few weeks so I will be flying solo until she returns. I am just trying to
learn as much as I can before she departs. I was FINALLY able to meet with
Pierre today (O director) about my vision and plans while I am here. He loved
it all, and gave me a few projects to work on for them as well. AWESOME- off to
a great Tuesday. Today I brought a new of the beanie babies mom gave to me for
the kids. Since most of the toys I have are for the older kids, I decided the babies
need something too. After their baths, they all have to go back in their beds
so the nannies can clean the floor, and instead of sitting in your bed with
nothing to do I gave them all beanie babies. They LOVED them. They smiled so
big and just sat there playing with them.
Then the real works began…… Today I spend most of my day
organizing and cleaning out the nurse’s room. OH MY- that place is a disaster.
Well maybe not a total disaster, but in my book it needs work. I knew coming into
this that the nurses' would be my main project so I rolled up my sleeves, well I
am wearing short sleeves- just a figure of speech- you get the picture, and we
got busy. I am pretty sure the nurse thought I was insane because we took
everything off of the shelf, cleaned the shelf, and organized boxes, then put
the organized boxes back on the shelf. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t
overwhelmed, because this is going to take forever to get done. There is STUFF
EVERYWHERE. But with a little jam session and dancing we were able to make
great progress today, and it already look and smells so much better :) :). My translator
was so sweet and said “What time shall I see you tomorrow Miss Ashley”. Love his excitement to CLEAN!!!!
Good day. :)
