My trip to Seattle was amazing, busy but refreshing. Got lots done in the office and met all the new staff. My talks went great. I love talking about Haiti and especially the goat project. No nerves talking about this stuff. I even had time to have a nap and read a book! And I saw friends, had good food and shopped. I really missed Ronald and wanted to come home.

Now I'm home and kind of wish I wasn't - I'm in a complaining mood tonight so here is the rant - I'm hot, I want to take a shower with running water, I am tired of having a million things to do and always counting every penny. I want to be moved and have everything organized - I can't find anything! How come everyone else has time for riding lessons, drawing lessons, exercise class, hiking, story time and the list goes on? I'm doing something wrong here...

Ok that's about enough. I love my life and wouldn't trade it for a minute but it sure feels good to get that off my chest. I am so very blessed and thankful for all that I have. My new house is wonderful, I have the best little guy in the world, my fan is working (that means we have electricity and that means we have ice). I get hugs and smiles from the kids in Merger and the list is endless...

This next week is finish moving, move Acky back to Port (he is finished with his year internship for SEED so his 3 year program is complete), take care of the goats in Merger one has Chlamydia so that means they all have to be treated (not on my schedule for Sunday afternoon until just a little bit ago), there are cows and goats to vaccinate and pigs to castrate, a morning of prayer and a meeting about the goat project. Goats to buy and give to 15 kids in Pernier. A short-term trip to plan. Plane tickets to buy, schedules to be made and receipts to be turned in before the end of the month, play time, nap time, and cuddle time and the list goes on...

His strength not mine...
