What has become normal...

So I was thinking today that if I wrote a list out of things that have become completely normal to me now, you might start to get a better picture of my life. Here it goes...
~the power going out at least once a day and most days many more times (if it's night time and the power goes out in the Baby House all the kids scream until it comes back on and then they cheer...it's hilarious)
~cold showers because the base/any where we usually buy gas from has run out
~days where I have not even looked at my to do list...not to mention crossed anything out
~knowing that when I walk out my door I will enter into a sand dune (basically it's true)
~driving equals no rules, cars swerve in and out, pass anyone and everyone, people will run out in front of you, cars will pull out when they want to even if you are driving by, and it's all on the left side of the road...(and no I haven't braved the roads myself yet...although I think in an automatic car I would be just fine- we only have manual cars of the base)
~when I am walking to the Baby House if any of the kids are in their play room...I will hear Mana Meghann screamed and it will brighten my day!
~I have to be careful what clothes I wear if I'm working because by the end of the day snot, pee, medicine, and baby grime will have been smeared ALL over whatever I'm wearing
~also it must be considered when I pick out my clothes that if I doesn't tie on I will HAVE to hold it on whenever I enter the Baby House or Bercario...because my little friends who can't walk yet think it's great to learn to pull up on things like my clothes! There have been quite the embarrassing moments as kids pulled my skirts right down...oops!
~the "plan" of the day will NEVER actually happen
~life outside this center is poverty and it's tough...every day I hear another horrible story that rocks me to the core
~hair conditioner, make up, blow driers, and even caring what I look like are things of the past
~when I use my oven I will never know what temperature it is...completely a guessing game
~what the next day will bring is ALWAYS a mystery
~a gecko will run across my wall at least every few days and mosquitoes will invade my space every night (Mom I can hear the mosquitoes here...they are SO loud).
~each day there will be at least one moment where I BEG to know Portuguese so I could just explain myself for once...oh how quiet I have become
~several times of day bugs will have invade where I am...be it my kitchen, room, the nursing room...somewhere. Apparently this is ant season...a few weeks ago roaches were out (because it was really hot for several days)...seriously I thought roaches were large in South Carolina...NOPE...these things could be mice they are so big!
~every few weeks I will become exhausted and wish I could hide and sleep for a few days...then God will show up, restore me, and I'll be back to His work!

I'm sure there are so many other things that are just normal now...but I hope you can see what my life looks like a little better. I am thankful for so much and am learning tons!
