Maddie slept from 7:30pm to 6:55am. Now you know why I sing. I can only hope she does it again tonight. We have been praying for this.
I think she's sick. She's been sneezing and coughing more over the last 2 days. Today when we got back from our morning walk she threw up on the floor while she was playing. The problem is that I don't know if it was because I carried her home and I felt like I was putting a lot of pressure on her belly. I was holding her with one arm and holding several bags with the other so it was awkward. But there's just something about her that as a mom I sense isn't quite right.
We're going to borrow an air purifier from a teammate for Maddie's room. She's a nurse and she told us that babies should have a purifier in their rooms until they're 2 years old. Chinese cities are notorious for giving Westerners asthma. I feel bad that we haven't gotten it yet but our teammate's been really busy and we haven't connected yet. My goal is to get it today.
Yesterday Phil and I learned how to use a portion of Quick Books. So we can now help enter financial data into CCA accounts. The finance guy is really swamped so we're helping him out. I worked for a few hours yesterday afternoon. I enjoyed it. For some odd reason I like data entry. I think it's the same reason why I like making list and marking each thing off as I complete it. There's a sense of completion and accomplishment with data entry. But I wouldn't say there's much fullfilment. We're both really glad to help out.
This is a holiday week in China. October 1st was National Day. Similar to the 4th of July. Being a holiday week means that neither of us teach all week and there's a little less for Phil to do at the office. Tomorrow is Phil's day off. I think we'll go to B&Q (a store that reminds us of Home Depot except they also have stuff like lamps, towels, rugs, furniture, pillows, etc) and get some more towels and sheets. I love B&Q.
