Irritated and Irritable


OhEmGee!!! If I were the type to curse and yell, I would have certainly threw a fit and had a moment by now!  Today has been...annoying!  I don't know what it is, but every little thing seems to be getting on my nerves and it is soooo very hard  to just smile and pretend like everything is okay.  My host mom is the sweetest person, but she has one more time to call my name.  "Dah-meh-tree-ahhh...come do this."  Dah-meh-tree-ahhh...come do that."  I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!! I love her to death, as well as the family, and that they have welcomed me into their home with open arms, but enough is enough.  Sometimes a girl just needs a little space and some quiet time.  We just came from a post-wedding ceremony (that I had no idea about until we got there) and that just put the icing on the cake for me.  I was in no mood to be stared at, which is what everyone did the WHOLE TIME!  I feel like I was the one getting married, instead of the bride and groom.  The eyes on me, the whispers, the "umuzungu's"...usually it doesn't bother me, but today...I can't even describe how I was feeling in that room and I won't even attempt to type out the thoughts that were going through my head; they were anything but nice.  I really just want to go to sleep right now and call it a night.  But...that wouldn't be the 'Peace Corps' thing to do.  So I'll just paste my smile on for a few more hours, do my best to entertain my family through dinner, and pray to God tonight before I go to sleep that tomorrow will be better.  Pray for me ya'll...I'm missing home...A LOT!

Love and Peace Corps,
Dametreea
