Hi Everyone!
Ok so I have to admit that I have been the most ill I have ever been in my entire life this week.... well, at least that I can remember... so I have had the week off from school. Praise God that the other teachers were able to step in and help out! I am recovering after some medicine and am feeling MUCH better than at the beginning of the week. A huge thank you to all the people who knew about this and were praying! :)
On a lighter note! I finally had some flavored water today (first real beverage after almost a week, still not doing well with food....), and so I finished and wanted to brush my teeth (naturally), and therefore went into my bathroom, rather sleepily picked up my toothbrush and went to grab the paste when I looked down (luckily) to see JUST IN TIME a 1.5 inch long dead cockroach fall off of my toothbrush!!!!
EEEEEEeeeeeWWWWWW!!!!!
Yes. That is a girly scream, and you can most surely insert flapping of arms and jumping.
It was seriously disgusting and I immediately disposed of the toothbrush and have managed to raid all of our cupboards to find a glass jar to house my new brush (special thanks to my dentist who gave me extra brushes to bring).
Can you imagine?!??! EEeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.......
So anyhow, it looks like we need to "re-chalk" our house because I ventured out of my room at 1:40Am to share this with you (internet is only available close to the window in the common room), and nearly stepped on a 3-4" roach! My new weapon of choice? The iron. You simply just drop it straight down from a decent hight and leave it to be discovered by my fabulous Australian flat mate who happily wears the hat of roach cleaner after I exterminated her spider last month.
Ahhhhhhhhhh life in Bangladesh..... Can you BELIEVE It is only 8 more weeks until Christmas?
Unbelievable.
I do have more reflective and coherant thoughts to share soon, but figured the toothbrush story took the cake for now :)
More soon!
In Christ,
Corinne

once again, i can tell you.. i feel your pain. here's another bad thought.. just because you never saw it till now.. doesn't mean it hasn't happened before.. i think that's kind of what my husband told me. :) you'll have to be careful with the whole toothbrush in a jar thing tho.. cuz it will probably mold in there.. sorry not to have a perfect solution for you hun. ... and wanted to say, i am sooooo glad you are feeling better. we will keep praying.
God bless and keep you and cause His face to shine on you and give you peace!!
hey.. my dad had a brilliant idea... get some string, or dental floss, and tie the brush from the ceiling somewhere. like to see a cockroach walk a sideways tightrope..
Hahaha nice I like the string idea. I just may consider it. Yes thought about the mold, so I spray nightly with listerine and poked holes in the top of the lid.... I'll keep devising plans...

Dear Cori
Glad to see you are not losing your sense of humor. Still enjoying your blog but not the cockroaches!!! You are in our prayers daily. The girls mention you too always in their prayers. Always remember "Great is THY faithfulness"
