Caroleen’s Treasures

I finally got hold of my fabric and spent most of the on my cloth diaper project. I was too excited that I let Donald check if the package has arrived from Davao so after dropping Ella to school, he went straight to LBC. He said their reason of not being able to deliver it yesterday is valid because their courier van goes straight to San Franscisco, a one hour drive past here, bringing all the packages that are supposed to be dropped here. I don’t get the point of wasting gas driving past here and bringing the packages back. Anyway, I am happy that I can continue making diapers for Emmanuel yet I really could not understand why I always get short with it when I have carefully measured the length that I needed putting a half meter allowance. It happened again! I am such a moron. So instead of whining, I make use of the scraps again.

Ella spent the entire day at school yet she seem not tired. When Donald picked her up in the morning, she watched a movie when I wanted her to do is nap before she goes back there. While watching, she went to get some cookies in her food cabinet but heard her complain, “Mommy, ubos na ang pagkain ko….wala ng natira.” (Mommy, I ran out of food….there’s none left.) so I said she and Daddy could go to the grocery store after her class in the afternoon to refill her bare cabinet. When they got home, she quickly changed her clothes and went out of the house. When I hear no noise, I begin to get nervous. I suspect she’s into the process of getting herself in trouble again so I called her once, twice….thrice but no answer. Donald who happened to be outside doing a little yard work, came in to get the camera and told me to find out what Ella was into.

She’s infront of the chapel teaching the kids. Since she knows that it is a big NO for her to go out of the yard and kids are not allowed inside too during weekdays, she figured out how to be able to spend time with them. Today she did what she was always wanting to do. That is to teach the kids.

She brought her two plastic chairs to hold the board, few pieces of chalk, some other teaching device and a book about Cinderella which she said she translated in Cebuano so they all could understand. She finally dismissed the class when it was about to get dark and she was too wiped out that she passed out after taking a bath. Here’s hoping that the kids has learned something from their teacher.
