So many things to write about!

I wish my brain had an auto blog, ya know, I would have two blogs a day, with 5 photos ya know! So I will list things I wish I would have wrote about....

Taliahs and Seths love for snails, they love finding them and yelling about it, seth picks them up and gathers them in a big family on our porch, I dont like this as much because they poo... and it's gross.

When I was in hospital the nurse poked my IV into my vein and then guess what OUT OF MY VEIN... and the water processed to pump into my arm un-benounced to me, asleep... I woke up with a HUGE ARM and hand, looked like an old fat ladys arm (sorry to all those old fat ladys out there, you know your beautiful!) This nurse didnt like me because for some reason I had an opinion about what meds I was given and how I was treated... HOW DARE I! in PRIVATE HIGH COST health care.... bad me! Ps- thank you to my grams and gramps hutch for paying for our hospital bill!

People in Zambia are really poor. Period. So sad, weird, and overwelming. Just to say.

(Remember all of these are blog posts all on their own)

After leaving the hospital we went to a place called Sandys creation with the kids got there at 12:30 in the afternoon, as soon as we got into the room I filled the bath with... wait for it folks HOT WATER... FROM THE TAP. And no joking here, you know that I actually sat and wondered... this is what I thought extactly to my self... "does Canada have running water when you turn the tap on?......... thinking..... thinking..... remembering.... and YES they do, it does exsists." you know the feeling of hot water available to wash your hands every time you finish in the bathroom. SO DANG NICE! OK!
SO after the bath..... I turned on the shower.... and found out the hot water had run out : ( oh POOP! so I waited an hour... and tunred it on again.... and had a 20 minute hot shower... OH THE GLORY people! was reeally ministering to my spirit, seriously. There was a pool, that was a little to cold, you know when ur just a little uncomfortable in it... anyway, the kids LOVED it! Thankfully we found cheap floaty things in for the kids!
The bed was AMAZING! King size, everything white, clean, puffy, clean, cozy, warm, beautiful, and we sat and watched world news... that is when we found out Australia is having horrible floods, and the same moment to scolded our selves for not reading up on BBC that week. Anyway, it was nice to be updated on the world.... Oh one of the TOP STORIES was: Eagles being hunted in MIssion BC! WOW! Canada was on the map because of one more our great first nations people wanting to kill a almost extinct bird... but also our great tree huggers, who don't want them too! woohoo, GO CANADA GO! The food was great, besides the cheese burger that came without the burger... very interesting... finally they believed us that infact a cheese burger is a beef patty WITH cheese. SO we got that sorted.

Was a great 24 hours off! Our only regret for that time is we really wanted to spend the day with tobi and chuma, we were going to meet there but it just didnt work out. Turns out that would have been the last day we would have had with Chuma, at 23 years old she died VERY suddenly in hospital. Most likely from Menegitis (dont knwo the strain) She was admitted for Malaria, and the very morning she died she phoned tobi to laugh about how the hospital was like a hotel room (they are on a scheme so it was "free") she had a menu for food, a tv with satelight... etc. So Tobi shoned us to sya the hospital is great and chuma is feeling much better, she should be out by the evening at the latest. So we thought we better check it out, and bring her some drinks for rehydration and things. So on our way, we got a call she was in bad condition, at that point we really tried to speed and were confused. Then we got a call she was dead, I literally did not believe it. So I phoned the dad to talk to the doctor and look for menegitis, because that was my first thought, malaria is often what they diagnos menegitis pations with at first, but this one killed her in just an hour. Such a shock for all of us. I went in to see her and was overwelmbed with shock I couldnt believe it, non of us could.

The Zambian funeral definately gets its own post... wow.

Thats all for now.

Also just like to say, I hate red ants... and would like it if someone could give me the reason why they exsist.

Thank you.
