I started off Monday bringing the kids to school who were a bit more rowdy than usual, then went to go hang my clothes up on the line. Just as I was putting my last shirt on the line it broke. So all my clean clothes got dirty again. To get my Monday back on the right track I went and hung out in one of the homework sessions where I have been able to motivate the promptness of getting homework done via bear hug currency. Pedro and Jorge aren't much for candy but if I say, "you get a bear hug for finishing this page" they are on it.
Last night I didn't get any more rest either because I had to take the 1 year old to the doctor for the 2nd time in a week. She had the same type of asthma attack so I think it's time they got her an inhaler. On the way back from dropping the kids off at school today I stopped by the hardware store that's like home depot and picked up a couple of things we needed. Then interestingly enough I saw a fight break out on the other side of the street as I was driving away. From what I saw it looked like some middle aged man was being a jerk to someone and tried to push/slap him, the guy that he pushed just kind of brushed it off. However there were some teenagers who witnessed it that were looking to have some fun so they tackled the older man and pretty much were just humiliating him by frizzling up his hair and clothes. All the meanwhile a security guard was standing there chuckling at the whole ordeal. So moral of that story is don't be a jerk in Peru or you'll probably get shamed.
