W'apow mu e,
This was bound to be one of those kind of days! Bonnie got up just before 05:30 this morning, she walked into the kitchen where I was fixing lunches for today and announced, "Dad, I hope you don't make me do something that will make me make you upset with me this morning!" That was a little rough for me to process at 05:30! I had to write it down so that I would not forget about it later.
We had an uneventful ride to school and after that I started to chase down the people I needed to fix the church electric problems. I went to the electric company with Martin and we basically forced a technician to get in my car and come to the church. He kept saying, "I am supposed to be somewhere!" I kept telling him that he was supposed to fix this problem last Saturday! We went to the church, which is about 45 minutes from his office, he reprogrammed the meter. He said that should be fine. I told him that it would not be fine until the lights were working. He said that he did not have time to do that! I assured him that he had plenty of time. We went to get the prepaid units and then we went back to the church to load them in the meter. What do you know! was a little problem and he had to change something so that the lights would come on! I sure am glad that he had the time to see this problem though to the end!
After that, Martin and I went and ate lunch at an Indian restaurant. I sure do like Indian food!

This evening, the kids had a great time playing in the yard. They were riding their bikes and scooters all over the place. Bonnie fell three times and came each time to show me the injury! Danny came in and he had some injuries as well. I told him I needed to look at the injuries and he said, "Where?" He had no idea what had happened!
This evening, Danny's asthma was acting up pretty bad. I gave him a breathing treatment and some allergy medicine. He finally settled down and then he fell asleep watching tv.
We have no school tomorrow, so that means the kids are going to be up super early! I had better get to bed so I can be up to corral them!
Nantsew yie!
