Reliving A Nightmare!!!

When you see a waterfall you think of beauty. Well when it is in your house and running down your walls it is not so beautiful. For those of you that do not know our home last year on April Fools day flooded. We had to move out and live with my dad and step-mom for 5 months. We had a great time while staying with them but we were glad to be back in our home! We moved back in and then within 3 months decided to move. When we finally got settled in we had my moms B-Day party. That night we received a call from my mom that their home was on fire!! Everyone was able to get out with out injury. So we have been living with them now for about 10 months. Their home will be completed in about 3 weeks! So what happens? On Wednesday I woke up too water damage from the air conditioner in the attic, it had a clogged drain pipe. This means I had to have a pod delivered to our home so we can store some of the furniture in there and our sun porch. All four bedrooms up and our family room will have to be emptied. It is almost as bad as moving. What a nightmare!!!

On the other hand you can think of this as a blessing. We had already planed on in the spring putting in hardwood floors, painting the baby's room, and smoothing out our ceilings. Now all of it is being done and my insurance will be paying for it ! So I guess we should be thinking our lucky stars. It will only take a week and it will be well worth the inconvenience! I have to say this is our third thing that has gone really wrong in the past year and half. So, is this the end of it? I am ready to have our lives back to normal. If there is such a thing.

These things we are having done this week are my projects I was going to take on while waiting for Jack! I am sure though I will be able to find many more projects to do around the house to keep me busy until we bring him home.

Well Michelle, they say 3rd time is a charm!! You have for sure had your share of inconvenience!! I hope everything is okay!! And yes, if you search hard enough you can find a lot of other stuff to do to keep you busy until little Jack comes home!! In fact I am sure at some point we will need to share ideas!

Michelle,

It sounds like you have had your share of rough times. I glad you get to put down a new floor for Jack's room. I can't wait to see pictures of his room. I am having a hard time keeping busy until Miya comes home and I am just one month into the wait.
