mini-flood

Power is back on!! Yeah!! We were all in bed, the kids surrounding our bed in sleeping bags and just falling asleep when all of a sudden we had light!  We all gasped and looked around surprised, then "yeahed".  Someone said "it's like Christmas".  So happy.  We love light!!

Sadly our great joy was short lived because E and R went around turning off lights and checking on things and we found a previously undiscovered flood in Sierra's room.  It was under all her stuff, which was piled everywhere when she left and which I had not yet gotten around to cleaning (in my despair over her unhappy departure I couldn't yet face it).  Bummer.

So today along with lots of laundry, dishes, vacuuming and clean up to get back to normal we also got to drag everything out of her room (making the basement a total tornado) and pull up the carpet, rip out the pad, set up fans and a dehumidifier, make assorted repair guy, insurance guy and builder guy phone calls.

The fun never ends.
