We made it through our first day without mama. Teresa went with some other friends on a 4 day break. The kids and I are trying to carry on but the how quickly you learn where the glue comes from. Monday went well though. The kids pitch in and did their part. Feeding was a little difficult. I'm not a cook so ham sandwiches were the choice for lunch and chavitos and melanesas for supper.
This morning was oatmeal from our states stash of cinnamon role flavor oatmeal. CoraBeth is flying through her school work but is complaining a little bit with her throat. We'll see how that comes out. Garrett has been emailing with one of his school mates over the issue of suicide and what the Bible says about it. It has been a good challenge for Garrett. If your are thinking "red flag issue" with this kid. I have read the emails and they are only debating a little. I don't think there are any issues that need to be dealt with but I will monitor it just the same.
CoraBeth is a having a little trouble with some word problems and they look like I will have problem with them as well. So I better go. Thanks for all your prayers.

How coincidental, our "mama" also left on Thursday for a 4-day women's retreat and will be back tomorrow. I splurged and bought our two kids a box of Stateside Pot Tarts for $4/box and have been doing my best to fill the shoes of our "Supermom". Hopefully she has a good experience with the other M ladies who are at the retreat. A former Uruguay M is leading the conference, you might know her Evelyn Sexton? Hang in there...
