[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 306868, member: 3704"] Happy Wednesday Everyone! Sharon, I know that the first weeks of school must be exhausting. There are so many new things to master. I do hope that you are feeling better soon. Rabbit, I'm hoping that difficult child 2 feels better soon. I think that a day spent at home will be very good for him. I hope that it is good for you as well! Things have been very hectic for us the last few days. We have had 16 inches of rain in our area since last Friday and are still dealing with flooding rivers and creeks.The damage is just overwhelming. We personally have not had water damage, thank goodness, but our house sustained electrical damage after a lightning strike to or near our house (we're not really sure which). We're still in the process of discovering electronic items that are fried - it's kind of like a scavenger hunt. easy child lost his computer that difficult child built for him, difficult child lost his amplifier and alarm clock, we lost our modem, the thermostat is non-functional.... The good news is that we are all well, no injuries, and the house didn't burn. easy child has luckily backed up his thesis work on an external hard drive, so whew, that work is not lost. I came close to panic on Monday when I was trying to drive home from work. Every road I tried to take had a high levels of water in the low lying areas. Finally I had to put on my thinking cap and visualize which roads were more level. I was able to locate some that had only moderate levels of standing water and make it home. My seven mile trip home took over two hours, and I know that it was much worse for some folks who stalled out and were unable to move on. Our City's sewer system just can't deal with that much water at one time! We have been in a drought situation here for over 5 years. As you can imagine , suddenly getting this much rain is devastating. My heart goes out to those here in town who have flooded homes. I think it will take weeks, maybe months to get back to square one. I hope that everyone has a good Wednesday and finds some quiet moments of peace... Valerie [/QUOTE]
