Toilet Tuesday

The kids were great. Fine. Did what they were supposed to (as much as they do at 5). Played quietly and mostly cleaned up when asked. Thank goodness because another day like yesterday and I might have needed to come home.

They finished the toilets! They have been working on them since I got here…well the building has been there and there have been workers on and off but they got them hooked up today. I’ll tell you that leaving for school at 7 and not getting back til after 12:30 is rough when there is no bathroom around. The kids just go outside but that doesn’t really work for us adults…so we’ve been watching what we drink at breakfast and then hurrying back home just about everyday.

I’ve been having stomach issues ever since I got sick on Friday. Otherwise I feel fine just that sometimes my tummy starts rumbling and moving and getting weird. Hasn’t been a problem enough to stop me from doing anything yet (fingers crossed). Today though I needed a bathroom. Breaktime hit and I told Dorothy that I was going to the nearest house (dr from the hospital). Slightly awkward as I hadn’t met their workers and the first thing I did was ask for a bathroom but you do what you have to…when I got back I was told that the toilets were done at the school (a little late but still). Not completely finished—still some tile work and cleaning to be done but the plumbing was in and working. Good thing as my stomach wasn’t done with me for the morning and I got to be the first person to use the Ebenezer school toilets.
