Clean Sweep, Mother Nature Style
It was hard to see this:
And I wish it didn't take this to kick us in the butt to get it out:

I'm a mom of three peeps ... Queen Bee, The Door Man, and the Chandelier Monkey, and wife to Ace, the Helpful Hardware Man. I created this space to get away from the people known as my inlaws, and because life with three kids and a hubby is all Unexplored Territory.
The nine-year-old who seems to be growing older every minute, has an opinion and a comment for everything, and has a true servant's heart.
The seven-year-old who loves the organization of things, will someday be someone's therapist because of his kind soul, and will more than likely be living with us until he is 40 years old.
The five-year-old with the 13-year-old attitude, who has a dictator's personality, asks you to watch her all the time and say "hold on" to keep your attention, and will someday come home on the back of some dude's motorcycle with 10 tatts and a body piercing or two.
The man of the house, the fixer of things, the winner of prizes, and the only person in his family to escape the South.

Wow, I am so sorry about all the damage! It must be difficult to throw so many things out. At least you are all safe. I hope the damage is fixed quickly.
Oh, my heart aches for you. I cannot imagine how you must feel. This would be a time for lots of hugs...My thoughts are with you and your family. XOXOXO
Thanks, Katie. Actually, the whole town was very lucky ... there was only one fatality (wish there were none). And that is pretty amazing, considering some of the dumb things people were doing.
Thanks, Ann. Actually, the best healing was getting back into the house and having hot water to take showers! And I also spent 45 minutes standing in my basement, watching my new front loading washing machine run through a cycle. Pretty sad, huh?
LOL!! No, it's not sad at all! It is a testament to needing normalcy! Watching the clothes go around, listening to the machine spin and hum...those are normal, everyday sights and sounds and you just wanted to re-orient yourself! I love it and probably would have done the same! XOXO
