So I have this idea. I can't tell you what it is. But I need a volunteer for it. I have already made some contacts and inquiries...but I can't do it on this side of the big fat ocean. So I kinda need somebody to help me with it on that side of the world. We will have to work together on it, and it will take some time...but I promise it will (if it works) change the coarse and lives of hundreds, possibly thousands of African kids. Please email me or comment here if you are interested.
Yesterday we went to my niece and nephews Christmas parties at school and in one of their classrooms there was a sign that read "I am" in the center and then all around it said (in little 4th grade hand writing) things like "special", "unique", "funny", "truthful"...and I got teary as I thought how wonderful to be to be affirmed like that everyday. So if you had a sign like that in your doorway, what would you want it to say?
I know that there are quite a bit of you out there that are musically inclined. Me, not so much. In fact, I have zero talent when it comes to anything that has to do with rockin out, except just that, I can rock out...but not really...I can't really er, rock out. Never-mind. What I am getting at people is this: We need a theme song here at Oceans of Mercy. Something fun and simple that I will be able to teach the kids in a fairly timely manor, with a catchy tune, and lyrics that are easy and that of course rhyme. Okay ready? Send them in, or post them here. Please...okay go!
Um, okay, one more thing. My idea was that it would go to a song that I already knew so it wouldn't be that hard for me to teach to them since I really, really don't know music that well at all. I am not kidding on this one...but the kids really do love to sing. Okay? Okay. That is all for now.
I have said it once and I will say it again...there is something wonderful about naked babies!!! There is something
magical about naked babies in a bathtub.
Mama likes to bathe them all at the same time-
okay...3 at a time. 3, then 3 more. I got to help yesterday with camera in hand and yup, it was a good day indeed.

Last night when we were hanging out with the kids, I had Siphokazie (2), Lisa (6) and Phaphama (5 years)all on my lap. We were playing and laughing until Sipo starts playing with my necklace and then falls forward and manages to put her hand all the way down my shirt. I pull it out as Lisa and Phaphama erupt into hysterical laughter. Phaphama then says "Are those your boo boo's?" I stifle my laughter and say "yes Baby, they are". she then leans all the way forward and says "I wanna see!" as she tries to lift up my shirt. I then reply with "No, those are for nobody to see." She then she stands up, lifts up her shirt and proclaims "Wanna see mine?!" I love these kids!!!
