So I've been EXTREMELY busy these days. We bought all the textbooks for next year and they all need to be covered in plastic to protect them and their corners need to be reinforced with tape. There seems to be hundreds of books and everyday we work on them. We are making progress but it's slow work. Cadeau works very hard everyday and won't even let me take a break. The other guys help out sometimes but aren't very dedicated.
Another development is that the mice are rapidly reproducing and have travelled down the hallway to my room. One night I was sitting on my bed reading my book when I saw a mouse travel right by my bed. I ran out of the room very quickly. Everyone was already in bed but Cadeau heard me run out of my room and came to see if I was okay. I told him there was mice in my room. I stood on my bed while Cadeau chased them around my room. One ran right out the door back into the rest of the house. The other one escaped out my other door to the outside. I couldn't sleep all night. It doesn't make any sense. Mice are so small and really, what are they going to do to me? My fear is so irrational but for some reason I couldn't stop thinking about them. This morning we found a baby mouse dead in the food depot. It keeps getting better and better:)
Well, enough about mice. Other than that things are going well. School starts next week and I'm sort of looking forward to it. I'm really sad that I'll be missing the start of LHMS. I love the beginning of school. I love setting up my classroom etc. I will miss all the teachers and all the good chats.
Every night we watch TV and have seen all the distruction in Southern USA. Unbelievable! There is a storm heading towards Haiti, hopefully it won't be as bad. We live in an area where the storms rarely hit so I'm not too worried.
That's all the news from here.
