Waiting For Some Big News

I had big plans to get alot done this week-end in terms of house projects, but that did not happen. I did make some gift bags for the girls, and sent them to a mom that is visiting later this week. I also made them some photo albums of our visit and sent those too. I also worked on a slide-show of both of my visits and life here at home for our facilitator to take with her when she leaves next Sunday. I fussed over that thing all week-end. Now I just need to burn it! I hope it all comes together because it needs to get to California before it goes to Haiti.

There has been some file movement in our group! A bunch of people are out of parquet, but we're still waiting on some more to come out. Some people have been in for a long long time. No rhyme or reason there, but all movement in Haitian files is good movement! 2 kids are out of ISBER that were submitted at the same time as mine. So the rest of us are patiently waiting... (Yeah right! LOL!) Well, it's good to know we're just about there. Congrats to everyone that progressed!

The S. Family published their pictures the other day, and they had taken this one of the girls and I. It's a very bad photo of me, but we are having fun, so that is the important thing. Remember, I had been bitten on my eyelids, and I had not even had my cold shower for the day, to add insult to injury. Sigh. It's very difficult to look good in Haiti, and I'm over it

I hate to say this, because there are fellow bloggers out there REALLY suffering right now, but it has been very cold the last few days. Low temps, and then the wind chill throws it down another several degrees. I'm not used to it being 12 degrees outside. It's very decieving because it has been crystal clear and beautiful outside.

I got yelled at by a grumpy old man and almost dropped the camera while taking this picture because I didn't park far enough off the side of the road to his liking, and he had to get in the shoulder to go around me. Out in the middle of nowhere on a 1 lane road.

It doesn't look cold, but I'm freezing in this vest and had to change into coat, hat and gloves before we went to the park.

I let shorty (not his real name) run around the baseball field. I tried to get him to run around the bases but he would not cooperate! Overall, it was a great week-end, I enjoyed having an extra day off from work. And my house projects are still here, waiting for me ...till next week-end!
