Caroleen’s Treasures

I had a very bad leg cramps that woke me up early in the morning. I can’t move my right leg and my gastrocnemius was like being twisted very very tightly. That was the second time I had it and the pain is still there each time I move my leg. I could tolerate the cramps on my feet but not on my legs. The pain is really bad and all I could do is moan. I could not get myself to wake up Donald to help me. I was able to go back to sleep after what it seems like eternity of agonizing pain. I am just so thankful my muscles relaxed and the pain went away.

When I woke up, Ella was holding a denim dress and said she will go to the chapel ahead of me. I slowly made myself get out of bed because she hasn’t showered yet. Donald just came from the bathroom and made me a cup of hot coffee (not that strong….I know it is bad for me but let me have it just for today) and then he fixed a bowl of cereals for Ella. I have 11 kids in my class today and all looking forward for the food. There is a little boy who is always accompanied by her mother (who also has a 3 month-old baby) in our class and I was able to try the cloth diapers to the baby. The newborn size could still fit her but the small size is better. Such a tiny baby. She only weighs almost 3 lbs when she was born. Read more… »

So it’s Sunday once again. The day went pretty well until this little girl in my Sunday School class decided it’s time to make Teacher Carol go real mad. She’s a kid from the neighborhood and I am actually happy that her mother who is not a member, allowed her and her older sister to attend my class. Each Sunday, this three year old girl would always get her hands on everything that she sees on Ella’s study table. Of course this upsets Ella so much because she’s just so paranoid now that something will be broken, destroyed, torn or would be gone missing. I always tell her to be patient and just talk to the kid nicely that she shouldn’t be touching her things and so this is what Ella does and it pleased me. She also could not sit still but would roam around and would be coming in and out of the house. This distracts the other kids. If she is sitting, she would kick or do anything to make the kid beside her (which is usually her cousin same as her age) cry. Read more… »

I would just be making an update about Ella’s business since it’s nearing midnight and we have just arrived from Ate Lourdes house. She invited us over for dinner and spent almost the whole night chatting with her SIL-Ate Rosie Tejada. Read more… »
