The Saga Continues

Remember how I didn't get good sleep Thursday night? And you all know what happened Friday night. So I was ready to go to bed on Saturday night at like 6:00. We got the tire changed and the spare put on. Nate had to break the hub cap to fit it around the giant screw that was stripped. Our "reliable car" is once again our reliable car. We just added more coolant and now it is running fabulously again.
I went to sleep around 10:00. Woke up a couple of times for Micah and then at 4:45 is was almost asleep again, when something tickled my face. I kind of swatted at it but didn't really wake up. A few seconds later, the tickle was on my arm this time i swatted it and the bug flew onto my night stand. It quickly crawled into the space between my bed, night stand and the wall. I was way grossed out. I get my flashlight and shine down the hole. (remind you that I can't really see anything because I don't have my contacts in). A minute later the bug crawls back up the wall and onto the bed. I flip. I wake Nate up and turn on the light. There is a NASTY COCKROACH ON OUR BED. It was crawling on me while I slept.
Nate got his shoes and smashed it. We changed the sheets, because now there was bug guts on the bed, and Nate went right back to sleep. Obviously this wasn't a traumatic experience for him. I'm still way grossed out. I lie awake for another 2 hours jumping at any little thing. When 8:00 rolled around and it was time to go to church, I was so tired I almost wanted to cry. But I girded my loins and made it to church almost on time.
Thankfully I slept great last night and hopefully my night time adventures are over for now.

You have to love Arizona cockroaches :) I can just picture it! I hear you on the lack of sleep. I have given up on feeling well rested.

Ew, I am so sorry! That is so gross. And how come guys can ALWAYS fall back asleep when anything like that happens and we always lay awake for hours? That always happens to me. But I am proud you still made it to church, like a true pioneer, way to go:)

Your stories are unreal! If I didn't know you so well...I would think all of that couldn't happen in one weekend... I hope you can relax and have an UNeventful week. Micah is the cutest stinkin thing I've ever seen...you look great too!

EEEEEWWWWW!!! I hate cockroaches more than anything. I can't stand just the sight of them let alone knowing they were in my bed crawling around on me!!

I'm so glad that you are documenting all of your crazy life experiences--someday you definitely will look back at them and laugh hysterically. But for now--just endure all the craziness. It only gets better!!!Thanks for making me chuckle a bit and I hope that the last few days of school go better. Its almost over!!
