Demen si Dye vle

One of my favorite Creole expressions is, "Demen si Dye Vle." (If you're an English speaker, you'd pronounce something like, "Day men see jay vlay. It means, "Tomorrow if God wants." I see it as the equivalent of the American expression, "Lord willing." (As in, I will get paid tomorrow, Lord willing.) But Haitian people use it ALL the time. Whenever they are talking about something that's going to happen the next day, it's never just going to happen the next day. It's always si Dye vle. I have started doing it, just because I like the way it sounds coming off my tongue.

So, with that in mind, here's my list of to-do's for tomorrow, si Dye vle.

• Demen si Dye vle, I am going to pick a less chub-rub-inducing outfit. Even though it's really cooled down quite a bit lately, this is still Haiti. And I need to remember my limits. :)
  
• Demen si Dye vle, I am going to write the bi-weekly update that I usually write on the 1st and the 15th to our supporters. I am late. Again. This time I wasn't putting it off, I simply forgot.
• Demen si Dye vle, I am going to find the memory card for my camera so that I can take some snaps of the house. I wanted to do a whole "in process thing"but apparently Dye didn't vle since I took some pictures not knowing there was no card in there. And in a related item, Jeanlouis birthday photos were all on the "Phantom card"
  
• Demen si Dye vle, I AM going to PedEgg/Heeltastic my nasty feet. Oh yes, I will. (Well,I will si Dye vle.)
• Demen si Dye vle, I am not going to scream at any of my kids. I have to warn you, God's going to have REALLY want that one if he wants it to work out.
• Demen si Dye vle, Josiah's green snot will be gone and I can stop finding boogers that he's wiped all over the house.
• Demen si Dye vle, I have staff meeting, another staff meeting, Friday church. And oh yeah, a whole load of kids too...

Lots more, but I think you get the point.
