YaY i finally got my electricity back on!!!!!!!!!!Its so nice to be able to come home. I have alot to tell so hope you got a bit of time cause im gonna write a mini story. My mini hell started on Friday with frances moving in. It rained most of the day and had some lightning, overall wasnt too bad. By Saturday at 2pm all hell had broken loose and we lost power. Sitting in a dark house with kids wasnt exactly my kind of fun, but we didnt have much choice so we made the best of it. We read books, colored and played games. Then it gets dark, the kids get scared because not only is it dark outside its dark inside (we did have candles but they dont help much). It got dark around 7 because of the storm so it was too early for bed. Thats when my sanity started slipping. I finally got the kids to sleep around 9:30. We all woke up throughout the night, it was horrible! By daylight we were all awake. I had trees down all over my yard, BLAH! BIG BLAH!!!! Sunday was about the same as Saturday. By Monday we were going NUTS!! The kids wanted to watch TV , play the ps2 or go outside...something, anything besides color. Then we recieved a blessed phone call.... my mom had electricity again around 7 pm. So we all loaded up and headed to grandmas. You can imagine 3 days and no water or electricity we were getting kinda smelly and were thankful to get a shower. :) We stayed at my moms on Monday and were soooooooooo crowded! Tuesday my sister got her electricity back and had more room there so we all packed up and headed there. Well my sister being the nice person she is also invites others that have no electricty. So it became crowded there as well, but we had electricity and water so we were happy. 6 adults and 9 kids. Bigger than the Brady Bunch! I finally got electricity back and was able to come home today...unfortunately (remember im blonde) i forgot to shut off the water pump when i left. When i had come home it had lost all pressure from lack of water and now the water pump has burnt up! Grrrrrr.....did i really need this? The kids went to thier dads for the weekend so i wont need as much water but unfortunately I cant stay home because i need water :( So back to my sisters I will go. I am going to add some pics, so you can see my fallen trees. Thank you all for keeping us in your thoughts during Frances. We love ya'll
Now i have to tell you about this other "thing". Ebay. There is a fella on there names Chris, funny funny guy, made me laugh til i cried and after Frances we needed something to laugh at. I am putting his link here http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dllViewItem&category=1469&item=5519722996&rd=1..... i think that will work. You HAVE to read this. His first auction was cancelled due to his langauge so he revised it and now its back up. He is selling a pint of hurricane water, a shingle from his roof and a papaya that come from a tree that landed in his pond from who knows where. Last I checked the bid was up to $103.19 and all proceeds are going to charity. His story is very humorous.
ok next item....
Sis....YAY you got to see the Blue Angels!!!!!!!!! I got to see them too when they were in Jacksonville..... they are GREAT! LL .....omi says to tell you make sure her boyfriend knows he has to give her flowers, gum and teddy bears. (HUGS ARE NOT BETTER THAN FLOWERS ANDY!!!) and she wants him to open her car door when she rides with mommy. I dont think that is asking to much. Odie..my sweet and kind friend *lies* :P I MISS YOU!!!!!!!! and sis who is this Rich guy you are talking about?? I used to know a guy named Rich, what a great guy *lies again* but he never seems to be around anymore!!!!! *hint hint*
