Been in the jungle for 72 hours and I am pleasantly surprised by many things! One being the things you can buy here! I am clearly aware that things you can buy today you may never ever, ever see again but it's here at the moment. I have been told by several people that if you see something special and unique you buy all of it and you don't feel bad about it! Strange feeling for me!? Not sure I can pull it off? Taking all the milk or something and thinking that a little one here needs milk or would enjoy that item too? I might leave at least one for my own conscience. Ask me in 6 months if that's still the case!
I am also surprised about the little things- we bought a cute, random scrub brush that we found because the kids say it looks like my sisters and me in one little item! I also found in my luggage, a spoon my mom gave me that, to be honest, holds wayyyy more importance and significance than before.
There is also this immediate necessity of letting go. Letting go of control, clean and orderly bathrooms, other peoples' body oder and my all important, overly-used bubble. That bubble is loooonnngggg gone! And I am better for it and wouldn't have survived with it!
The kiddos get to go to school tomorrow manly just for exposure and fun!
Our journey to get here was tough but most worth it! There will be many more adventures to come....
As always to be continued. ..
