Lost gift list
I hate losing things. When I was young, and even today, when I can't find my shoes just before leaving, I freak out and get really panicky. When I can't find something, nothing seems right and I'm not settled until they're found. Right now, I can't find the gift list my Mom so graciously started the day Andrew was born. He is 2 and 1/2 months old now and I'm not done writing thank yous. Can't find my list!!!!! AHH! This is not acceptable to me. I am freaking out.
In other news, Monica and Dave are hosting these Mongolian women and their daughters while the daughters have heart surgery through Samaritan's Purse. So far, they've been there for about 6 weeks. They will be there a total of 10. An interpreter, a 9 year old and her mother, and an 11 year old and her mother are all staying with Dave & Monica. Things were going pretty smoothly until about a week ago. The interpreter freaked out on everyone because she was trying to control everything. They were told their stay would be extended by 2 weeks and she just about cracked. Then, a couple days ago, the mother of the 11 year old...LEFT. That is right, she abandoned her daughter and left to apparently work illegally in our country. The daughter is very upset, but seems to have expected something like this from her mother. Their parents are divorced and she lives with her Dad and his new wife back home. It is just unbelievable to me. I am trying to understand this, but can't. I talked to Dave & Monica last night briefly and Dave was obviously quite stressed. He said, "I just want these people to go away."
Emma is being quiet...not a good sign although it is a great sound. Silence. Better go see what she is up to.
