Roach Rampage!

This afternoon I was doing some more cleaning and organizing in my classroom and I found and killed about 7 cockroaches in a two hour period! Not my favorite experience. I'd be going through my desk drawers and on would run across my foot and I would have to chase it down to kill it, and those things are fast and not easy to kill, and their guts can be smushed out with their legs still moving! Yuck! But at least hopefully that means that there will be less to kill once I have all my little kids in the room. 

We did eat at this AMAZING Thai food restaurant for lunch! The school treated us for that, so that was really nice. I don't even know what all I ate but it was all delicious! I may never leave Saipan, because the food here is so good. I even tried dried seaweed with my rice yesterday and loved it. You should all come visit and taste the food!

After we left school we decided that us roommates should have our first trip to the beach this evening. The places that we were going to go to looked pretty rundown so we went to one of the hotels and the beach there still wasn't that nice! There were like a million sea cucumbers all over the place and my roommates wanted to cook them! GrrrrOOOsss! But they didn't. Alex is like on the edge of having pneumonia or something, so please pray for her and pray that none of the rest of us catch it, especially right before school starts. Four of the school teacher's live in one house, so imagine how awful it would be to have almost half the staff sick! Well, I'm off to bed! Hope all of you are well!

  2. Good luck on the roaches! They were too abundant in our house at Yuka (you didn't seem to mind them much then...haha!!) So sorry that Alex is still sick!! Tell her we're praying for her!
