i don't even know what to say...

so, yesterday shaun calls me at school to tell me that there are 4 inches of water in the basement!

fast forward...our entire basement...minus the TV room is now upstairs...have a look...







This stinks.

With that said, I kept thinking two things last night:

1. these are just things...they can be replaced...we still have each other.
2. this is an opportunity to start over...get rid of things you don't want, organize the way you want to before you put things back.

With that said, i just spent 3 hours trying to work on #2, and things look the same if not worse. i have trash bags full of crap EVERYWHERE...which i would put in the back of my car to take to school for the yard sale, except during the blizzard, i think the latch on the back of my car froze and then we tried to open it and now it's broken, so i cannot even get into the back of my car.

God only knows how long the downstairs will take to dry...they're saying 3-4 days.

they are coming Monday to dig up the front yard, so the outside of the house will look as nice as the inside.

so much for all of the work we put into the house over Winter break...here we are a month later, almost to the day since we lost power and had to leave the house.

so much for a relaxing day off on Monday, because you know school has been so relaxing and stress free this year!

i was really looking forward to starting the year off right...i guess there is still hope, i am just a the height of disappointment at the moment, and you guys get to hear about it!

i guess i won't be reporting an crafting projects for a while on the blog, but stay tuned if you are interested in how i attempt to get us out of this mess...literally!

i guess my first step is to take a trip to the store to get some storage containers...you have to start somewhere.
