Highs and Lows

Highs for today:

• getting to be at my new house twice today
• getting a nap(ish) in
• hearing Nia say, "Mom, none of my brilliant ideas are working" (after she couldn't make the wooden train tracks do what she wanted them to. (I love that kid.)
• somehow finding the kids swimsuits amongst over 25 bags/tubs
• realizing internet will work in our new house
• got things packed for Nick to "move in" to our apartment in Port Au Prince
• Josiah doesn't seem to hate all black people (like he did back in November when he was here)

Lows for today:

• Josiah got DOZENS (or more) mosquito bites (he WAS wearing bugspray)
  
• Josiah got stung by something
  
• Josiah got sunburned (she WAS wearing suncreen)
  
• Nia got sunburned (he WAS wearing sunscreen)
• Nick got REALLY sunburned (he was NOT wearing sunscreen)
• Nick's phone died (when it drown in the ocean in the pocket of his swim trunks)
• The kids started freaking out and melting down by the evening
• Nick started freaking out and melting down by the evening
• I started freaking out and melting down by the end of the evening (We're all better now)
• I never made it out of my pajama top into a real top today
• Realizing that my children have VERY limited capacity to share
  

All in all, a decent day. Hoping tomorrow is better-- though I have my doubts since Nick will be gone the next two days in Port. Oh well.

I still love being here though, so that's something, right?
