I have an issue. Every day, lately, I am either late or barely on-time for Devotionals at 6 AM. I keep sleeping in until 5:15--I never thought I would consider that sleeping in--and I'm also missing prayer with my roommates because of this fact. Because of my seemingly carelessness (and also my daily lack of involvement in the "student life"--i.e. hiding out in my aunt and uncle's house a lot not going to student chapel on Wednesdays (which I actually had forgotten occurred), and not always eating the cafeteria food--my friendship growth with the girls is being hindered. The first step is recognizing it. The second step is prayer. The third step is making the change. I'm gonna do it--and by saying I will (publicly, especially) I will be held accountable. :)
Okay, so after breakfast (I had cereal and yogurt at the house) I took a 45 min. nap until 7:45 when I would have babies. Abril first for 3 hours. Guess what! Barely any tears this time! She even laughed a little at one point! So yes, some of the babies are getting used to the routine of their moms dropping them off everyday, which definitely makes my duty easier! :)
After break at 10:45, Abril went with her mom (oh, and I got Abril to fall asleep twice--I'm getting to be a pro) and Daniela was dropped off by her mom and I would have her until 1:45.
*The moms almost always drop their kids off 5 min. after the tardy bell rings, so they're typically 10 min. late to class. That's Mexico for you!*
Daniela cried all but the last half hour of her 2.75 hours with me. Not just cry, but tantrums for half of it. Two reasons: #1 She missed her mom, obviously. #2 I was an insufficient replacement for her mom. #3 Her mom hadn't changed her diaper since the night before. Gross. At least 3 different times of going potty worth of pee in her diaper; so yes it did leak all over her clothes and the blankets she was sitting on, and yes I did change her and she didn't like it, and yes this is the same baby I mentioned a few blogs back that has poor hygiene. Sad, quite sad.
Anyway, I was glad to be done with daycare, ready to eat at Comida (beans and rice, yo!), and I was SO ready to go pick up my new laptop, that my dad bought and sent for me, from the post office. Oh my gosh, what a guy! I am thrilled! Such a blessing! I'm typing on it right now!
So I drove across the border for the second time by myself--good times!
When I got back I skyped my best friend cause we miss eachothers faces. Church was at 6:30, and then I ducked out of church early to skype my family. It was so nice! I miss them so much!
Oh, and tonight my 24 hour fast slot began, so we prayed with our group (Lidia, Uncle Kent, Aunt Lila, and I).
Tengo sueƱo y hambre, so I'm going to bed! Good night!
OH MY GOSH Lyn. I can't believe that poor little baby had to be in the same diaper for that long????? Awful. I feel like you are being put in that baby's life to help her out. {It's a girl, right?} Ugh... that makes me so so sad.
