This morning, I've been working on my sermon for Sunday. It's going pretty well. I like to work at coffee houses because they are usually quite places where one can disappear in a corner, relax, drink coffee, and work. Well, that's not really the case today.
There are reasons Emily and I don't have children yet...Mainly because I'm not ready for them (not that we don't want children...we both just realize that now isn't the time). Kids drive me crazy. I know people say that it's different when they are your own...but, I still think I'll be extremely annoyed if my kids are loud and out of control.
There are some loud children in the particular place I'm working this morning. And, not only are there loud children, there are annoying parents that aren't doing anything about it. The "adults" are busy talking and ignoring their children...as the wee ones run throughout the coffee house yelling, screaming, and crying. I feel for the parents because they've probably put up with this kind of stuff that they've grown numb...they have learned to block out the decibel levels that their children are reaching.
Coffee houses are supposed to be quiet places where people read, write, have quiet discussions, relax. I can feel my muscles tensing up...I can feel myself getting stressed out. I just want to stand up and yell, "Shut Up! Shut Up Already! Not another peep out of you! I can't take it anymore!" Then, of course, I would look like an insensitive jerk (which may not be too far from the truth)!
So, I'm going to wrap things up here and head to a place I know will be quiet and there won't be any annoying children to bug the snot out of me...The Heorot! Heorot, take me away!
