W'apow mu e,
We are in survival mode now! We are all wanting mom to come home! Last night the internet was down again as well as the electricity, so I did not get to send an email last night.
We did make it to school on time yesterday. We have not been late yet.
I am trying to get the car all clean and ready for out long trip to get Lo on Sunday. I washed the car and I am trying to clean the carpet and seats. All of this dirt around here makes a mess of the carpet.
The kids are still talking about the circus. They tell a story and then laugh. Then they tell a story and act like they are afraid! (It is the things in the the circus that should have been afraid of what was sitting in the front row, the Consford kids. I am selling tickets to come watch our show anytime you would like to come. Make sure you check your life insurance to see if they will cover you during our show.
When we got home from school I told the kids that they had to take a nap because it is Wednesday. The kids get cranky and act bad at church if they are tired. Well, none of them slept. Just as we were getting ready for church, the electricity went off. We are still having load shedding but it is very random. It was dark at church too. Danny and Bonnie fell asleep in church. Gilbert told them they missed some great stories.
On the way home from church the kids started chanting "We want Mama!" I joined in the chant too!
Nantsew yie!
