I'm keeping this short today, as I'm not feeling so well. I have SO MUCH work to do, but Randy has pretty much convinced me to go to bed early and leave it all for another day. The babies all had diarrhea today, but it didn't seem to affect their well-being. It did with me. I felt pretty miserable all day and had a tough time functioning, so I held back a little and let Barbara step in where possible. I'm also thankful that she's taking pictures.
We had our usual routine today, though there were some hiccups. The ONLY way nap time works now is if Sammy sleeps first (alone in a bed), and THEN Emmy gets the bed to himself, otherwise Emmy will keep his brother from sleeping. Tammy is still sleeping on me. In the afternoon, it didn't work out that way and it was a mess when they all needed to sleep at the same time. At bedtime, Randy had to hold Emmy down again until he fell asleep, so he would let his siblings sleep.
It was another fun day in Bamako, with some of our kids coming over to play with them, especially 3-year-old Esther. And 4-month-old Amaga always comes over with his Mom, who does the dishes and some other household stuff.
Christmas is approaching, and besides all the office work, I now have all those preparations on my shoulders. Please pray it all gets done. I only do what only I myself can do.
