Texas Bound

So vacation is just around the corner and I am terribly missing the U.S and all of its amenities. I have forgotten has nice my freedom was in the states, and how simple we have made our lives to be. I do not have a car here so many times I have to take a bus, which is fine, but it takes about 20-30 minutes to get to the store. Or I have to go with the community which is fine, but we have to run all the errands at once, which means a ten minute trip to the store can be last two hours. So I am just frustrated with Mexico and the people. Plus it is extremely dangerous here right now, all of the highways are highly dangerous. Innocent people are getting killed all for money and drugs. And where are all these drugs going...the U.S. it just sickens me to hear about the innocent getting killed. Thank God I am going to Texas to spend some time with my sister I really need a break from Mexico right now.

On a good note though I wrote letters to my boys who had their retreats. And this was the first retreat for many of them. And the third graders let me kiss and hug them a lot more. And so they all piled on the bus and I was waving bye, and I felt like such a proud mother. When all the boys came back they all told me how much their letters meant to them, and many I was told were crying by the letters. So again I felt like I had accomplished something. We have the boys next week for three days and we are taking them to the pool and on a hike I just love when they get to do stuff they normally never get the chance to do. So wish me luck because there are no classes next week and I will be with them from the time we wake up to the time they go to bed. But I will be rewarded with a nice bus ride to Austin, Texas.
