Ahhh - it's Friday.

  • I'm learning a bit of Krio (Seirra Leonean Creole)... Bololo = worms, titi = girl, bobo = boy, wo-wha = bad... we have the most interesting conversations in Krio. Ow di bohdi? It's a fun launguage to learn and speak...
  • We have an oral surgeon who has agreed to do surgery on Tejan's jaw. Have I mentioned his jaw problems here? I can't remember. Anyway - he needs surgery on his jaw and there is a very gracious doctor who is working very very hard to assemble a team of doctors here to perform the difficult procedure. It will be a much harder recovery than his leg surgery... and he will be here longer than originally planned. I'm good with it... it absolutely needs to be addressed. I just have to gear up for more time in the hospital. And pray for healing again... and strength.
  • I'm working today. Good to get a bit of time out of the house.
  • We have other Sierra Leoneans coming to town this weekend... Quami, who is a staff member at the children's home where Tejan lives, and two other children who are in the States for fundraising events... Eddie and Masa. Tejan is beside himself with excitement that they are coming. I can't wait to meet them. Apparently Quami has very big muscles. That's about all I know. He's speaking at our church on Sunday - sharing his survival story from the war.
  • I'm off to run a few errands before work... Tejan went to school today so I'm reveling in how quickly I can get in and out of the car to get things done! Praying he can make it until the end of the day without pain...

Happy Weekend, friends.

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...
