It Could be Worse

In this part of the country it is the coldest day of the year. I think it's around two degrees. In this household we are experiencing some form of Chinese touchier. You see, my smoke detector in the bedroom up stairs is going off BEEP BEEP BEEP. I think I'm going to lose my mind. When it gets real cold outside the condensation in the wires gets moist and it sets the smoke detectors off. I have tried EVERYTHING that I can think of to get to the ceiling to get it down. You see we have 9 foot ceilings and I am simply not tall enough. I will have to wait until my husband gets home. I'm very thankful that it's Wednesday because he comes home early for church. We only have 1and1/2 hours to go of the BEEP BEEP BEEP. Gina claims that I will look back and laugh about this but right now it not funny. Today I have unplugged a smelly toilet, cleaned up after the dog. did four loads of laundry, and wiped a lot of noses. It's all in a days work. The Bible tells me to be thankful in all things. I'm bringing the new year in with many messes and LOTS OF BEEPING. Praise the Lord !!! I'm warm, we have food in the house, and the Lord provided the money to have our bills paid. It could be worse. Thank You Lord for all the things you have given me ,including my hearing.
