And the Adventure Continues...

Well, if we thought the adventure and fun was going to end last night, hold onto your seats. Our ayi arrives today with her friend in tow and announces after we made formal greetings, that she is leaving today for her hometown and will see us in November. This of course is all happening in the fifteen minutes I am trying to get Danny and Josh ready to head out the door. Dustin is let’s just say less than pleased, because our understanding yesterday was not this arrangement. Fong had just stated she wanted September and the holiday in October off. We thought we were just going to meet Fong friend and see if we were happy. Yet today we are informed that this is not true. Since, we like our ayi and do not want to really look for a new one, and I truly need an ayi with my TM condition and the enormous fatigue associated with it, we are stuck. Not happy, but stuck. Please pray this all turns out okay. At least it is for a long enough time that we can get used to this situation, but again, if she is not to our liking, two months is a long time. So, needless to say I was a little rattled on the way to Danny’s school. Thankfully, children, or at least our children are quite adaptive and Danny seemed really oblivious to all the flurry associated with today’s morning routine.

After dropping Danny off, we quickly turn around to do more shopping. I have to obtain a bike lock that will withstand more than one turn of the key (see yesterday’s blog) and get shoes for Danny that are not so large. I am going to head to the farthest Carrefour, praying that they may have the items I have been searching for since we arrived here three weeks ago.
As we make our way around the Carrefour, it seems like my luck is out. They do not carry squirt bottles, nor razors to trim the back of one’s neck (Danny needs this as his hair grows funny in the back and needs trimming here, long before he needs a haircut). Looks like my Mom will be bringing these items to us when she visits.

We arrive home and within about fifteen minutes, Fong is saying goodbye. Apparently, she is not even going to stay through the rest of the day. Oh, well, what are we to do. Prayers is about it. I think I am going to go lay down for the next hour before I go and pick up Danny. I was able to get his shoes and a much better lock for Dustin, so those are at least positives in the day. I will be limiting my time going to these stores from now on, because the traffic is just insane.
