Today half of the kids just left for the beach for five days, and then the rest of the kids will head off next Tuesday. That makes for a very "sabai" house for two weeks with only six children here at a time (between two houses). I really think it's God's provision that this happens to be my last two weeks of school, as well. A nice, peaceful environment to get LOTS of stuff done!
Speaking of getting lots of stuff done, today is one of those days where I was having a hard time getting motivated this morning, partially because I was feeling overwhelmed at the amount of stuff I need to get done, so I did what I often do in such a predicament: make a to-do list. It's amazing what a to-do list can do for motivation. I LOVE checking things off of lists! I guess it's the type-A in me coming out to play (though I think I'm predominantly type-B). Already I have several things checked off my list, this blog being one of them. I'm so thankful for productive days!
One thing I am most excited about getting checked off my list today is getting a dress made. There is a brilliant local dressmaker who has made dresses for many of the ladies here (and for GREAT deals), and since I'll be going on some hot dates in a few weeks I figured I'd need at least one really nice dress, so I'm dropping the material off today. I can't wait. I've never had a dress tailor-made before! That reminds me of the Colbie Caillat song "Tailor Made". Now I've got the tune running through my head. I think I'll wrap this blog up and put on some Colbie Caillat as I clean my room (another check on my to-do list). Cheers!

You'll be surprised how much little time you actually have. :)
I was hoping I could add a "honey do" to your list? :) It's okay if the Tubba Blubbas don't have much writing done, my students are chomping at the bit to get these back and send them around the US before school is out. Can you send them back ASAP? I will deposit the costs of mailing into your account, or send your mom a check, how ever you want me to get you paid, just let me know. Also, make sure you put the receipt in the box for our school records.
I hope this project hasn't been a huge burden for you. Thank you! :)
Hey Chantel,
Yeah things have been crazy around here with school holiday, but I will get those finished and sent out next week. Half the kids are gone at the beach right now so I won't be able to get them to do that until then. Sorry about that Chantel! I'll let you know what the shipping costs are.
Things can get crazy sometimes, just life in general is busy.
