Day 2008. Sunday morning, but no chance of sleeping in, especially because of Emmanuel coming regularly to me for something, even though I've asked him over and over again to let me sleep. Just before 11 am someone came again to let me know the hairdresser had arrived. I got up and greeted her, and she got ready to start with me, putting the hair dye on my hair.

Day 2007. For the second night in a row Tammy didn't come to our bed. Emmy came some time in the early morning hours. Sammy was up first, as usual, and eventually Randy got up to make breakfast. I got up, when my alarm went off at 9:30 am. I got myself and the kids ready, and just before 10 am Tammy, Emmy and I left the house together.

Day 2006. Thursday is the day without classes for Tammy and Emmy, which means it is my busiest day. I taught from 10 to 11, then went to the kitchen to make lunch. I was very tired. I wanted to lie down after I had put the casserole into the oven, but I was pulled into doing something I had wanted to do for a long time, and so I just did it instead of sleeping.
