Oh What A Night

I should have known going to bed so early last night was going to come and bite me in the rear. I told Brian that 10:15 was too early to go to bed, but he said he was really tired and he wanted to go to sleep. Now, I know that I don't have to go to bed at the same time he does, but I like to because I can cuddle up to him and I enjoy going to bed at the same time. I'll just have to stop myself the next time he decides he has to go to sleep so early. We were both up at 2:50 this morning and we had a hard time going back to sleep. Not a surprise. Now part of my problem with trying to go back to sleep is that the roof started leaking, and it's dripping into a bucket and it's making noise. I used to sleep with the radio on all night when I lived at home with my parents, so you would think that a little water dripping wouldn't bother me. NOT. IT.DRIVES.ME.NUTS. I can't sleep, I have to pull the blankets up to my ear and stuff my head under my pillow. It's impossible for me to sleep with the constant dripping. I don't know how Brian does it, but it totally blows my mind. So needless to say, I finally got myself comfortable enough to fall asleep for about an hour before his alarm went off. UGH.

Now there's the issue of the stinking ants in my apartment. They're every where. We've sprayed ant killer and we kill them when we see them and they never seem to go away. We can't figure out where the heck they're coming from but they're obnoxious. Our kitchen is clean, and that's usually where they are. Now they're starting to come into the living room and it's getting ridiculous. We don't dare call our landlord. It'll probably take forever for them to come and take care of them. As mentioned above, we're still waiting for them to come and fix the dang roof. It's so frustrating. I just want to move. I want a house away from the city - but not too far away.

God's definitely working, these are just minor issues that are annoying, but they can be dealt with. I've been feeling very encouraged lately by some of the people that I work with. I got a text from Michelle this morning that made me so excited that it was hard to go back to sleep. It's nice to see God working at work even though it's only with a couple people. They don't really understand how much I appreciate them I don't think. I'll have to let them know. Despite all the cruelty and hatred in the world today, there are still people who care and who are appreciative and who are loving. It's nice to see that at work. It makes going there a little more bearable. I'd still like to leave, but I think I'm where I'm supposed to be right now. I think this is where God wants me and I have to learn to be content with that.
