Taking care

Long week...
Sorry for not updating earlier (someone told me that I was behind schedule, you know who you are).
The school evaluations are two weeks away. Kids are crazy because some of them know that they haven't done all their assignements and projects. So, some of them have been giving the projects to me lately. As much as I would love to say: "You can't give it to me anymore, it's out of due date..." I just love what they do to convince me :D it's just funny. And, they have given me really nice projects. Next week, I expect to receive the last ones, I will have an exposition of them (I promise pictures!).
Wednesday all teachers had to go to a special activity that the Ministerio de EducaciĆ³n (Education Minitry), no school (you could find all kinds of comments about it on FB, like "no school, yeah!!!" "we don't miss teachers" and so, and so...).
Thursday... School was nice, on the afternoon we went with Ivan to watch Harry Potter. I just loved it! Caramel Popcorns... mmmm... my favorites.
Friday! I went with my older brother Jetro and my mom to the hospital. She had a gallstone and from a while it has been making my mom feel very ill. Her feet were swallowed and her blood preasure was high (she started on high blood preasure medicine), she hasn't been feeling good for the past three of four months. Of course, to have the gallstone removed, she needed to be carefully checked and it took time, like a month and a half. She went into surgery like at 8, 8:30 in the morning, she was out of the hospital at noon!!!!
We came home with her, then, Jetro and I went to buy some stuff for her and for lunch and after lunch I had to go to my final session (of an English Teaching Methodology course that I am taking). I was back at 6.
Ivan and I slept here at my parents, because my mom needs help and though my brothers take care of the food and other stuff, I just think they need a women's touch n_n. Also, she wants me to take her to the bathroom and help her get change and that sorth of stuff. Girls' stuff.
Believe it or not, I missed my students yersterday.
I am so glad to have my mom here. I am glad she didn't have to stay in the hospital. That would've been depressing. It's funny to see her sleeping or watching t.v. on her bed. I can tell that by this time, she is already tired of it. She is a very active woman.
O.k... here's other thing. To take care of my mom means to take care of my dad also. He's so spoiled. I had to take breakfast to his bed today. And he woke mom with his music too early this morning. Funny... I love that man a lot. And I love my mom.
It has been a while since I started to think about not having my parents. I don't know when it could happen. I mean... my grandparents (my mom's parents) are still alive, but my other grandparents already died. After fighting with my parents, blaming them for a lot of things and being mad at them for so many things, I finally accepted that God gave me really nice parents. Our relation may not be a perfect one (speacially with my dad, with whom I never share to many personal thoughts), but I would never change them for anyone or anything. I love my family (a very messed family).
I'm gonna check my mom now, and start cooking lunch.
Have a nice weekend.
Blessings
