The Flood and The Bills......

Well, this is how our day went...all wrapped up in one picture....

Reasons why our day went bad...

#1.  The Heat--110 degrees for 2 days and John sets the temperature in the house at 82

#2.  The Flood--Almost killed driving home last night in flash floods.  Left at 1:15 a.m. from my little caregiving job, and a ride that should have only took me 30 minutes, took 2 hours.  I was so worried John was wondering what happened to me, as I had no cell phone.  100's of cars stranded on the road side sitting in flood waters.  God was watching over me and I plowed through until I finally reached home....water up to my car doors..When I walked in the door, ready to get a "Where have you been?  I have been so worried about you!"  I heard snores..loud snores....he slept through my whole crises.

Here is what we woke up to this morning:

Spent the day hauling all the furniture up the stairs and into the living room.  Cost for clean up $500.

Aitor is living down in this sewage.  He doesn't want to sleep in the boys room so he says he wants to remain downstairs and walk around in his flip flops.  His bedroom carpet is a wetland.  I just shake my head...We are trying to find someone to take him for the next few days..So far...no takers.

#4.  The air conditioner- It needed a coil replacement that cost us $1,500 

#5.  Fence- It fell down that divides the house next to us (Gadi's old house) and our back yard.  Cost-$1,300

#6.  A Big Tree -fell on our garage.  Cost for removal- $400

#7.  Family Camp is next week- Cost-$1,200

#8.  The Fair- It's next week--Cost-$60/day to get in for our family....looks like we'll be tag teaming.

#9.  The Car-Engine light went on --Cost-Unknown at this point.

#10. A Painter-We have to hire because John can't get the rest of the job done now with all the basement problems...Cost--$1,000

#11. Our Vans- broke down 4 times this summer--Cost--$2,000

#12.  Roof Shingles-We have already signed a contract for the roof shingles to be put on..Cost- $20,000

Grand Total.....$28,000 and counting.....

Here they are..(We are using the green to match the yellow paint and green shutters.)

 The only good thing I can think of today is that I got a 96% on my economics paper and my final is due Tuesday.  So, I am almost done with that horror.

Yep-It's been a great summer..

New update--Another family is taking Aitor tomorrow.  We will say good bye to him.  What a weekend...
