I have become the kind of blogger that thinks up blog posts in her mind and RARELY gets them posted...
I'm just TOO busy!
But, heh. Life isn't about blogging... it's about living, right?
Well, the last weeks have been SO full of traveling from Tarapoto (the jungle) to Trujillo (the city), finding our house all packed up, not wanting to unpack because I'll be packing again at the end of the month, needing bowls, plates, cookware etc, having to unpack it... Sorting kids clothes because my kids came back to winter in the city from the hot and humid jungle looking like RAG-A-MUFFINS! We got haircuts (all of us) and made the wardrobe update/transfer, and now we're feeling MUCHO mejor {better}.
The last two weeks, Micah has been uber-busy with preparation of classes, interpreting for the English guest professor, teaching his own classes and running the program for the practical hands-on side of things at the Institute. Which has left me at home (surrounded by boxes) with the kiddos trying to figure out what to do first...
So far, like I've mentioned, I've unpacked clothes, sorted half of our stuff in the storage closet (extra bedding, crafts, clothes to grow into, etc) and have yet to go through the other half. I've got to get rid of loads of stuff, becuase as of now, the plan is to find a tiny apartment here in Trujillo that we can use as a base for every module that we come back for IBEM... and take the rest to the JUNGLE. I only want to take the bare necessities to Tarapoto though because the humidity is not very friendly towards anything paper or fabric. So... decisions, decisions.
I'm working on inventory-ing clothes, shoes, and homeschool stuff so that I can stock up when I am in the US in August. To make a long story short, about a year ago Micah's parents bought him and PrettyPinkPrincess tickets to fly back to take some classes, and PPP wasn't able to fly... so NOW we're using the credit for that ticket and my airmiles to make a trip before the credit expires! Yay.
So, that brings you all about up to speed on my life :)
I couldn't imagine sorting through all that stuff. Yikes. It makes it extra difficult when you have kids that actually want to grow and stuff, as well as dealing with hot and cold weather.
So how long will you be in the US? Will the kids be excited about all the books you bring back for them?
