Literally. Yesterday I dropped our plastic Snapware lunch container, full of food, right outside the door to my office. By the time I bend down to pick up the surviving food still in the container, the spilled food was already being accosted by tiny ants, which some of them got lost and made their way inside of my jeans.
They pack a mean bite and create a red sore like a mosquito bite and soooooooooooo itchy! I ran to the office bathroom twice, taking of my jeans and shaking them out. The little suckers made about 20 bites on my legs and all the way up to my torso!
Other than that I’m doing fine. Margarita is loving the Ranch and always wants to go play with the “chicas”. The chicas are age 7 to around 16. They live in two large dorm style houses with 3 tier bunk beds and showers and bathrooms in each dorm. When they aren’t in school they have chores, play soccer, cards, whatever they can get their hands on. Margarita is probably the most popular chica here. Everyone adores her and she can play with the chicas for hours while I catch up on work.
Tonight we had mass at 4pm and then ate calzones with the chicas. Mass is actually much better since I left. We have a Priest who is Mexican but grew up in Germany and speaks fluent English too. The chapel is new and amphitheater style so the sides are open. Margarita gets a little ansy during the service but she seems to like the live music, choir and guitars.
It's fabulous having internet connection and I was even able to listen to Sirius Satellite radio on-line the other day while I worked.
Hope everyone is doing well. Hope to hear from you.
Scratching away…Monica
