a better week

Well, this week has definitely been better than the previous! We've had water for at least part of most days, and the same for power. We did not have classes on Friday for the end of our six-week block and spent the day filling out report cards, and then going to a river with the rest of the staff to swim and hang out. It was a lot of fun but FREEZING cold in the water and not at all tropical and hot outside. We spent Saturday morning and early afternoon cleaning and cementing up some of the holes in our walls. Later in the afternoon, we went to one of Teresa's student's birthday party and it was a lot of fun. Then we went over to the women's staff house and watched "Finding Neverland." It was very depressing that the key to his inspiration in writing "Peter Pan" was ditching his wife and spending every waking moment with another woman and her kids.
Today (Sunday) it's been cool and rainy, and Teresa has been sick. She rested all day and is feeling a lot better tonight. Thankfully, After-school Supervision is over for Teresa which means we don't have to stay at school 'till 5 every night and can have a lot more time together in the evenings (yay!). I'm also going to start coaching 3rd-5th grade basketball on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. It should be a lot of fun!!
