Don't Pinch Me

The sun is shining and I am free from class work.  I don't want to wash the floors or clean the kitchen.  I want to lie on the deck in a lounge chair (that I don't own) and finish The Lovely Bones.

I have house guests this weekend, though, and a house that was neglected at the end of the semester.  My arriving guests are cause for much anticipation.  You see, though I am not going to Uganda with my friend Cathy this summer, a bit of Uganda is coming to me.  Cathy is in charge of finding housing for a children's choir coming through the area this weekend, and asked if I would like to host 4 girls and their "Auntie."  I told Jeff that all I wanted for Mother's Day was for him to help me work it out so we could take this opportunity.

So 4 African school girls and chaperone are gracing our home with their presence.  The sun might even stick around for awhile. Anna is thrilled at the thought of having 4 new friends for a few days.  Anna's specialty is new friends, no matter what nationality.

Gotta go wash some floors and bathrooms.  That's ok.  When I'm finished for the evening I can take my book and a glass of wine on the deck. I can read every night, all summer, whatever I want to. 

The person who wakes me up might just get an involuntary slap across the face....
