We are that inadequate to do our own wash.

It was dark and waterless when I awoke from my dream/ night terror. Dad, don’t you EVER tear down our house, or the mosquito net will get beat up again.  After I awoke the second time, it was 6:30 AM. Bri was already up reading. Apparently she hadn't heard me talking through the night, unlike all the other nights I've spent bunking with her. Sadly the water was still off when we got to Mama's house. I have been wearing dirty clothes for the past 4 days along with a lot of deodorant due to the lack of water. Well we prefer ripe fruit why not ripe people? Truly I'm over exaggerating (What me, over exaggerating, never!). Back to my daily doings, I drank tea on the porch, had porridge for breakfast, and then headed out to Hope house. However this not everyone's doings. Andy threw a tea mug across the kitchen floor. She says it was accidental, but we know what really happened. Just like the car window being busted sometime in the middle of the night. I wonder if Andy was awake. At Hope house,  I had soo much fun organizing the VHS's! (Me, not over exaggerating again) I went through every single tape to make sure it was in the right case. Meanwhile David, Claude, and Lucki were scattering the things we organized Saturday. After the dauting task was done; we found out that the box full of videos we had put on the shelves, were the VHS's that didn't work. Lovely. Then three visitors came with a box full of VHSs just ready to be put away. I shouldn't even try. I should just quit now, but I'm too stubborn to quit; its the Irish in me. But I digress life is never simple. Oswald, the lovely man he is, went out to the lake to get us some water. God bless him and those who helped, because WE DID WASH. Before the water came though, Andy ("Andrea"-Greg) took her laundry up to the laundry lady who is 8 months pregnant. The lady tried to take Andy's laundry from her and Andy said she would do it. The woman said "YOU" and went into a hysterical laughing attack along with the four other mamas who were sitting with her. She said "No I will do it." Back to me, the important person, I started to do my own laundry with Jane and Pastor Sunny. Well if I could leave it at that I would but no that is impossible. Here comes a shocker, I'm not perfect, but I found out I am closer to it than Jane and Pastor Sunny as far as laundry goes. We did such a poor job that two boys and the house-lady stepped in and re-washed what we had already done. Never thought that two guys would be better doing wash then me. Little Belize came down and saw six people doing wash and asked, "Why are so many people doing the wash?" Pastor Sunny replied, "Because we are Americans" as if that explains it. Once again the rest of the story will be told at a later date, probably in a sermon. You know how Pastor Sunny is.  Next I helped carry jerry cans full of water to our water tank at the home.  I am super strong! Pastor Sunny's new name for me is "SUPER MEGAN!!!!!" Andy says it stands for "simple minded." The unappreciated life of a striving artist, huh. Pity me. Jane says to pity us. Don't listen to her. Your reading my blog anyways. Peanut galleries only lead to allergies. Back on topic, we had sausage for lunch with maize and rice! Helen went to bed because she wasn't feeling well. She is doing better now. I, Super Megan, not simple minded, helped clean dishes from lunch. Yea! Take that group members. I did something productive, but that is how super Megan rolls. Meanwhile the slackers were taking a walk in the community to pretend like they can fit in. Too bad the venders found them and followed them along with beggars. Yea that is what happens to slackers. Although I have to give credit where needed. Jane and Pastor Sunny did round up escaped sheep earlier in the day.Note to Jane, sheep do not come when they are called. Too bad its not on video. When the slackers came back, we gave Julie a few facts about America. She said she had heard that in America everyone had machines in their homes to wash their clothes. From what I witnessed today I can understand her amazement at this fact. She was also quite appalled at the fact that almost all Americans have a pet in their home. Ewww! Papa Vincent seemed indifferent. Supper couldn't come soon enough. Time today dragged, but it did rain a lot!!!!!!! More water in the tank and more beans on my plate. Life is good, sort of. After dinner and worship, the slackers and SM, mwah, sat on the porch. I bring you to the current time. I'm eating chocolate; SM loves chocolate. Thank you to the boys who picked it up for me on the way to their soccer (futbool) practice. My group doesn't seem too happy about the whole chocolate frenzy that is taking over me. Oh sweet chocolate how I've missed you so. The baby chicks came tonight too. Not that it has anything to do with the chocolate. They aren't Cadbury chicks. Even though I think I'd prefer that. Huh chocolate. Well missing my Hershey Chocolate, This is SM from Africa, goodnight everyone!
