Think you've had a tough day?

• The morning you know about...stress-filled court from 8-11:30 a.m.
• Home for lunch
• Head to the other side of town to meet w/the owner of the rental car company from Joyce's accident...seems insurance doesn't work the same here as in the states. After waiting 35 minutes he tells me basically nothing other than he'll call me the end of the week.
• Head to the computer repair store - kids broke two keys off the keyboard - they can't fix it, I have to go to another store to the tune of $60 - $70 for a new keyboard.
• Head to the Cepudo office to meet w/our lawyer about filing for residency...it's done, she needed Joyce's passport.
• Return home and get Joyce to follow me to pick up the truck at a new mechanics - he can't fix it. Make an appointment w/another mechanic for Monday morning.
• Home just in time for dinner; after dinner we lose our electricity and a severe thunderstorm approaches.
• We get our power back, but now have a torrential downpour and we have leaks at the kitchen door (entire kitchen floor flooded), boys downstairs bedroom (entire floor flooded), windows in the stairway (the stairs look like a waterfall).
• Get the water mopped and dried and rain finally stops coming inside the house.
• Teach Mauricio and Fabiola math with all English instructions to prepare them for next year.
• Settle down for a 8 games of bingo with 7 of the kids.
• Answer e-mail and now off to bed!!!
