As determined as you are to take care of things, doing laundry by hand for your big family is probably more than you can handle. My husbands family had 5 kids and two adults and they had a full time laundress washing ALL DAY LONG at the pila. Yuck!<BR/><BR/>Just buy a machine. Your hands and arms will thank you.Honduras Sprouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816093647072132150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944378683489468442.post-91972320033979537912008-04-30T21:40:00.000-04:002008-04-30T21:40:00.000-04:00I think you sound prepared.

It's not so much what my daughters school teaches, it's how and the approach to education and the crazy inconsistent teachers. Ugh. <BR/><BR/>The anon poster sounds sincere but clueless. What a weird comment and inappropriate too. At least it solidified your feelings because it gave you a chance to defend them. <BR/><BR/>I'm so rooting for you!Honduras Sprouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816093647072132150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944378683489468442.post-85883684693628573512008-04-29T22:16:00.000-04:002008-04-29T22:16:00.000-04:00I believe your attitude is half the battle & with ...I believe your attitude is half the battle & with your optimistic outlook, you have already won! I think you will enjoy the challenges, your kids will enjoy all the things they have never seen, they will be so happy for you all to be together again. I will pray for you & your family, that all will be well. I also pray that the heat won't bother you as much as you fear. Since you are going to the mountains, at least it won't be as hot as the beach areas are. Your son may have a difficult time at first, but then again, you just never know til it happens. If you have the opportunity to socialize with other kids his age, he'll adjust fine. God has put this opportunity in your life for some reason, & if it wasn't meant to be, it wouldn't have worked out this way for you.<BR/>I can't wait to hear from you when you arrive.<BR/>~Best of luck & love!<BR/>~AngelaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944378683489468442.post-15221338966246962032008-04-26T19:54:00.000-04:002008-04-26T19:54:00.000-04:00All I can say is that I'm praying for success for ...All I can say is that I'm praying for success for you and your family. You are going into this with eyes wide open. That's important. My hope is that you also have an escape plan if necessary. Not that I think it will be needed, but, as I'm always telling people, "plan for the worst, pray for the best, and be ready to deal with whatever comes along."Damama Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00433392172815959276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944378683489468442.post-55760410848688871842008-04-25T19:43:00.000-04:002008-04-25T19:43:00.000-04:00Hi!

I love it, it costs me around 2 cents us to call my kids in California (from Mexico). Get a headset and microphone before you go and try it out with the skype software. You can even use a webcam. If the person you are calling also has a skype account, then it's free. It also is handy when I am calling back home for other than social reasons.<BR/>Good luck, you are so ahead of the game since you already speak Spanish.<BR/>regards,<BR/>TheresaTheresa in Mèridahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217945138741786373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944378683489468442.post-82202269569460317362008-04-24T15:22:00.000-04:002008-04-24T15:22:00.000-04:00Girl, I read your blog and know exactly what you a...Girl, I read your blog and know exactly what you are going through. We moved there in 2004 and the first thing I noticed was how they treat the women. Honestly, I do worry about you. Your husband seems to be OK without you being down there and do you really know he is not with the mother of his other kids? He was/has been in the past unfaithfull. His family will lie to cover it up just so you will come down with their grandkids. <BR/>Pray about this before you make a mistake. Your kids will suffer,especially the girls and your oldest son will not have the educational opps he would have here. Please be wise and think about this. <BR/>Does he really love you? A lot of us are doubting his heart. <BR/>*hugs*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944378683489468442.post-26636990980319243082008-04-22T08:34:00.000-04:002008-04-22T08:34:00.000-04:00I can't believe you are leaving s soon!!

Strange things hit me with culture shock, and other things that I expected... didn't. But your attitude towards it all is the biggest advantage you can have, I think.
