Played some more musical beds again last week.  : )  I am used to it, but it messes up my sleep.  I didn't get enough as it was, and musical beds cuts into the too little I did get. 

I honestly can't remember when I got up this morning.  I do remember that it was not as early as I would have liked.  I spent some quality time with God, took care of the kids and tried to keep them quiet so that Heather could get more sleep.  She was really sick during the Christmas break and is feeling "better" now, but she has had a headache that she can't get rid of.  Thankfully, it is not a terrible one, but it is very annoying and it cuts into her energy and ability to get stuff done. 

I took care of the meals, the dishes, the laundry.  It was a good morning.  Then Jonny and I caught 4 different buses...
#1 - from Bajo la Vina to Chijra to hit the cash machine, get hair cuts & stop by to greet some friends from the church who have a sidewalk stand selling empanadas.  Jonny loves empanadas.  They are kind of like a different shaped burrito, filled with chicken, beef, some veggies, etc.  They rock.  Especially when they are hot out of the oven.  : )

# 2 - from Chijra to the downtown (Centro) where we looked for some things we need for the trip to Chile & paid some bills. 

# 3 - from Centro back to Bajo la Vina where we walked home the last few blocks from the main road and had a late lunch. 

# 4 - I then caught a bus from Bajo la Vina back to Chijra and then walked the other 1/2 of the distance to the church for the prayer meeting.  After the prayer meeting I walked all the way home to get some fresh air, exercise and to save some money. 

At the prayer meeting - it was awesome.  It was the first one we have had in a couple of weeks and man did I miss it.  I attempt to pray mostly in Spanish, a lot in the Spirit and when I have to, in English.  It was long but well worth it.  Afterwards I had a good time connecting with the guys who were there and talking with the pastor.

When I arrived home it was get to work in the office time.  I have a huge "To Do" List and even though I crossed a lot of things off of it today, I still have a long list.  I kept thinking of other things that I had to add to it.  : )

Now it is late at night and again, I am going to bed about 2 hours later than I would have liked.  It's life.  : )  Good night all and God bless -

Paz, favor, bendiciones -
