Update

I have to be quick. My job as taxi driver begins in a few minutes.

I started working yesterday. I was not prepared to begin so soon, but was asked by the principal if I would just go ahead and work half days with my two morning time children this week. Of course my head was screaming "NO! You need a few more days of freedom, of rest, of YOU time". But, before my mind could relay it to my mouth I was saying, "Of course! No problem at all!".

So, I was up bright and early yesterday to begin my new role of working mother. My kids are great. The girl is in the 5th grade and speaks wonderful English. She needs me mostly to help her with staying on task.

Her brother is in 4 year old Kindergarten. He is faster than I am. Smarter than I could ever imagine and somewhat stubborn! I love being in his classroom with him and all of the other kids. One of the little girls asked me when I came in yesterday "Who's mama you is?" It was so cute. They are so much fun and I really do enjoy being there.

Maisie has done incredible at school. She is making friends and learning so much. I met with her teachers today and they all just praised her and her manners. They said the other kids love her. I'm so glad she is doing so well at school.

She also loves church. She started AWANA on Sunday night. She loved all of it. I'm so thankful for the people at our church who have been so kind to us. It has really made the transition easy!

So, now I must go. My parents are coming to visit tonight. I have to get the taxi running and home so I can start my next job of cleaning lady & homework helper.. Oh the life of a mother... and I wouldn't change it for anything!
