Water again

This time instead of not having any water we have way to much. :-) After 6 months I finally got my leak in the downstairs ceiling fixed and last week they even patched the ceiling. So for 2 days everything in my house was working except we didn't have any water. :-) When we got home from the camp out yesterday we noticed some water on the first landing of the stairs and so Kenny wiped it up and then we noticed it again later. He got to looking and there was water running down the wall from the ceiling. We just laughed and said "Gotta love Luanda" and went on with our day. We all took a nap because we were so tired from the camp out and when I went to wake Kenny and Jared up I felt water drip on me and I told Kenny he needed to turn the AC off because it was dripping water and I told him it must be froze up. Later when we were going to bed Kenny noticed the rug was wet in our room and he seen water dripping from the ceiling. Then he noticed a couple spots on our bed were wet. So we moved our bed between the two leaks and put towels down and went to bed with the sound of rain in our room. :-) Today about 5 new spots have came up where it is leaking. The repair guys showed up about 1:30pm and one of them went in the attic and looked around. My driver said the plumbing is in the ceiling so I am assuming a pipe has busted or something. My driver was not here when they were leaving and the only thing the guy can say in English is, "I'll be back". Not sure where I will move my bed if it starts dripping anywhere else or if I will even want to sleep in there tonight.

I am not sure why it still surprises me when something goes wrong here. There has not been one day that has went by that something is not wrong with the house. I am not complaining though I just laugh and go on now because I know there are people a lot worse off than me here. I am just thankful I have a roof and AC. :-) I am also very very thankful that I can say 5 more days and I am heading to the US for 4 weeks. I can not wait!!!!

I still have a lot to do to get ready to leave but I can not seem to get motivated to get any of it done. Katie did come over today and we made some waffles to freeze. Tomorrow I will take her to Benfica and Wednesday we are going to make cinnamon rolls to freeze and for my boys teachers for Christmas. Thursday I am free so I think I will get all my packing done. Friday I will just hang out and that night us and the Amer's are going to take Kenny out to eat at Coconuts for his birthday. Then Saturday the maid will come to help get the house clean before we leave and then we will head to the airport at 4pm!!!!!
