I can't believe that we are leaving in 3 days. I feel like it isn't really happening!
I also can't believe that we have started potty training Emma!!! At school this week, they started to teach them, and Em has been doing so well! In three days at school she has had 1 accident! Here on the other hand...... She has been really stubborn here and hasn't wanted to cooperate too much with our plans. I thought potty training would make things easier, and I guess eventually it will be better, but right now, it is definitely not easy. At all. People say it usually takes about a week of work, and they get better at it. I am hoping that is the case. I would LOVE to start getting the hang of this before we get home to our house, and our hard to clean floors. Here it is so easy. The floors are all glossy marble (well- marble-esque... I don't really know what they are made of) Plus, I have help. Not that I make Johana clean up after Emma- I do that myself, but she can take Charlie while Emma is in a precarious situation. That is HUGE. i am not too too worried about the trip home. There will not be potty time on the plane, so Ems will need to just suck it up and use a diaper since I can't easily take her to the potty with Charlie.
Well, it seems I have wrung this trip out the way I rang in it. Sick as a dog. I am pretty sure that it was food poisoning this time. I was violently ill 3 days after arriving here too. And here we are, 3 days from leaving, and I am just getting over it again.
I ate leftover steak for dinner Wednesday night, and 2 hours later, well regretting it doesn't even come close to covering it. Seriously, I would much rather recover from a c-section than go through that. This morning is the first time that I am really out of bed and eating real food. And I am not too sure how I feel about it either. My stomach is still quite sensitive. Thank goodness this happened now, and not right before we left. Oh that would be misery. I would probably need to change my flights. I don't know what I would have done without Johana. She is a godsend. She stayed late yesterday to take care of the kids. I didn't have to get out of bed all day. It was heavenly. And she made home-made chicken broth with potatoes for me :)
Today I am going to meet Carlos' boss, so I better snap out of it. And quick for that matter. He will be here to pick me up in half an hour :)
