Ok, I just need to VENT FOR A SECOND!!! I seriously feel like I want to scream my head off...run around like a crazy person...punch somebody in the face!!! I live in Africa...I should be used to nothing going the way it's planned...nothing being on time...but day after day after day of no water and no power is seriously driving me insane. We have literally gone almost four months with a few hours of running water a day (in smaller intervals) and the power has gone off consistently all semester, even two or three times a day for the past three weeks. If it were just my husband and I, whatever, I would still want to pull my hair out, but it would be tolerable. With an 18 month old...ahhhhhhhh!!!!! Changing poopey diapers and then not being able to wash my hands...him not sleeping and therefore us not sleeping because it's too still and too hot in his room...us wandering around our hot, boring apartment with nothing to do for hours...ok...and now that I've said all that, I also know how lucky I am that I know what life is SUPPOSED to be like with 24/7 power and running water, because there are billions of people who don't know what that's like. And I also know that you can SURVIVE without it, it's just not the lifestyle we are used to. But sigghhhhhh...if any of you think of it, please pray for us. We've heard that the power cuts are supposed to get even worse in a few days...
