Oh, What A Day !

Today has been a difficult one, to say the least. I had to wash everything we own. $30.00 and a day later and I am still not done. I have clothes hanging up all over to dry. I have still one load left to wash but no cash left to do it. Then to top it off I told Chad we would go to Chick - Fil - A for kids night. We walked there last Tuesday night and Chad had a ton of fun. They have games and misc. activities for the children. Also buy the adult meal and get the children's free. This evening I had to tell Chad we couldn't go because I spent our money doing the wash. All so frustrating ! Why did I have to tear everything out and start washing perfectly good clean clothes you ask ? Well about a week ago Chad started off with bug bites. Then Gene starting getting them and alas I followed. We were not sure what was going on. First we wondered if they were in Gene's new work truck. Gene bombed it last week. Also he took a step further and bombed his room at the house he is staying at in North Carolina. Well, this past weekend we were still finding new bites on us. Last night while on the phone with Gene I told him I didn't think it was in my head and I was being bit while laying there in bed. So this morning I told the hotel manager that I believe we are being bit in our room even though I couldn't see or find anything. I wasn't sure even what kind of bites they were. Spider ? Flee ? All I knew is Chad woke up with 2 welt size ones on his arm and I had welt size ones popping up all over. I saw some guest here have dogs. In fact a little boy walked into our room with Chad a little while ago with a dog in tow. Well in case you didn't guess yet they found some bugs behind the headboard in our room. When we first came here we were staying in another room. When we switched to this room I requested a new bed blanket because the one in here was ehhh. I know it sounds like we are staying in a dump but we are far from it. In fact we could stay in a much cheaper place then here but Gene put us here because he wanted to know we are safe. This place is safer and cleaner then many other hotels here. Anyway, they found bed bugs in our room. Bed bugs ? I didn't even know these things were real. But they are and I ( along with Chad and Gene ) have small and big welt bites all over us. They itch and swell and get red all around......they can make you miserable ! The hotel people said they found them in the beginning stages but anything that came in contact with our bed needs to be washed. I put Chad's blanket from the weekend into our closet here the other night......yup, so every single piece of clothing , blankets, pillows, Chad's stuffed animals......everything needed to be washed in hot water. Uhhhh, as I write this I feel like I am being bit ! I think it is in my head. Please pray it is in my head ! Please pray for me all together ! LOL I am very tired from all this. I didn't even tell my son yet that his stuffed frog ( I had to wash ) no longer works/ ribbitts when you press his arm. To be honest I feel extremely tired from this and just want to sit down and cry....yet I'm afraid if I do some bugs might go on living ! LOL

So, Dear readers if you think about it, please say a prayer for me tonight :)
