You know, it used to be Jenni’s problem.  And it usually involved humans.

When we were younger, people LOVED Jenni’s hair.  It was long, thick, and BLONDE.  People would honestly migrate toward it, as if it had its own gravitational pull.  I distinctly remember eating at a seafood restaurant in PCB and my mother having to politely tell a waitress to stop playing with Jenni’s hair so the poor child could eat.

And if you’ve MET Jenni, you know that she has a slight aversion to people anyway.  Them touching her hair was NOT welcome.

But I’ve recently joined the ranks of people who need to mess with my hair.  No, I take that back; my fans are not PEOPLE.  They’re animals.  Yes, we could all make jokes (and I’ll join in, make no doubt) about my hair being a rat’s nest or a bird’s nest or whatever, but Bryan’s cats HONESTLY try to curl up in my hair.

And you know my hair.  It is not long enough to create a bed for any animal.

The worst is Shelby, the deaf cat.  She’s EXTREMELY moody and hates most people, but she took an instant liking to me. (Great.. the non-cat person attracts the non-people cat.) She has the most ANNOYING habit of eating my hair.  Yes, you read that right; feel free to scan back over it.  SHE EATS MY HAIR.  And she’s so incredibly sneaky about doing it; every time I yell for Bryan to “LOOK!!  SHE’S EATING MY HEAD AGAIN!!”, she stops and gives him those Puss-in-Boots eyes.

But I know.

So last night was the first night the cats were in the house.  To keep things quiet enough for us to sleep (because it’s all about us, you know), we kept the cats in with us in the bedroom, and the dogs stayed in the back of the house.  Shelby and the other cat, Friday, fought over who could sleep in my hair.  All night.  And yes, when it was Shelby’s turn, the little noise of a cat munching on curly hair could be distinctly heard.

So tonight, the cats must fend for themselves.  Away from my head.

I’ve opened the site back up.  I think most of you saw why it was locked, and if you didn’t, feel free to email me.  I’ll fill you in.

So add another hash mark under Sarah’s name.

I enrolled for classes today for next semester.  I really want to be that woman defined in Proverbs.  I want to be the wife that Bryan deserves.  I’m working on it.  I’m a little stressed out about it, honestly.  I want to do so much to be someone he can be proud of (this is not to insinuate he’s not currently proud; we stayed up till two the other morning so he could spell out how INCREDIBLY proud he is of how adult, patient, and kind I’ve been over the past year.. and how enough is enough), but I feel like time limits me.  One step at a time, I suppose.

I need some uplifting today.  If you care to, feel free to leave me some inspiring quotes you have to make yourself feel better.  Mine is this one:

“When you have come to the end of the light, and there is only darkness before you, faith is knowing one of two things about the next step you take: either there will be something solid to support you, or you shall be anointed to fly.” – anonymous
