Let the Good Times Roll!!

As you will see, that title is slight, just slight sarcasm.  Last night very shortly after my last post, our basement flooded! Awesome right?? The pump just could not keep up.  Our house was built in 1910. It comes with beautiful wood work surrounding each door way in the molding and huge windows and lots and lots of great character.  It was completely redone 4 years ago. Windows, furnace, water heater, plumbing, heating/cooling, carpet, all flooring, siding...everything.  So while it still maintains that 1910 character, it has all new things.  However, when you head into the basement, it is ALL 1910.  No fixing up there.  There is soggy dirt floor and its just plain scary.  Right out of a horror film.  The only modern things down there is the furnace and things of that sort surrounded by 1910 freakiness. LOL.  So when we heard a buzzing sounds and opened up the basement door to hear running water and see 2-3 inches in our basement, we knew our 1910 was showing.  Thankfully, there is 3 rooms and the driest room is where we stored some of our stuff and that seemed untouched.  Thank the Lord. So needless to say, we are getting a visit from someone to take a peek and see what can be done. The water is gone now but it sure is soggy.

We now have another camper out for the count.  Curtis broke his nose and has to have surgery:(  Disappointing but of course that is a pretty good reason to miss summer camp.  A broken nose is kinda like a broke finger. You never realize how much it gets used or moved until it hurts to move it.  I could just see him getting a softball to the honker...ouch.  So pray for Curtis.  Poor kid!

As I type, Bella is twirling around me in her tutu and singing, "Trust and Obey for there's no other way, to be happy in Jesus but to Trust and Obey!" She loves that song.  I have been trying to go over the meaning of that song with her as well.  She is so smart and SO GIRL!!! There is not an inch of tom-boy in that girl.  She is all fairies and butterflies and singing while twirling.  Livy on the other hand...well, maybe not so much. LOL.

Today's is Lexi's last day of summer school where she got a 100% and made up an English credit! So proud of her.  I know she is excited to get a little break before it starts all over again.  It seems like the summers just fly by these days.  Before we know it, it will be school shopping and prep for the school year.  This mommy is prepping herself as much as possible for Owen going to school.

Well, those are my random thoughts for the morning. Have a blessed day!
