Flooding



We had flooding in our house this weekend. 3 rooms were affected and our master bedroom furniture has been moved to our living room. I'm trying to tell myself that it is kind of like camping but I am at home, sleeping on a mattress on the floor. I just would never take my newborn camping.
So, these three people (and Tino the great & Jason - so glad you moved back to Texas) were very helpful in a time of crisis. My dad was at our house within an hour of the flooding to help move furniture, my mom was ready at her house for the tornado of me and 3 boys arriving suddenly and Penny came over to direct furniture moving, do laundry, clean the kitchen and put my house back in order. I am so grateful to have these people in my life. And today, Vina (lovely Yvette's mom) is bringing me King Ranch Chicken for dinner.
And Shaun will will remain my main man because he did so great at not only "taking care of business" he kept a smile on his face and took all his "workers" to lunch.
Yes, there is nothing to be sad or angry about because when you have people that love you, you have it all.

I learned long ago that's it's always the worst events in life that remind you how blessed you are. I am so happy that you had such a wonderful support system. I'm sad we are not there to help! Love you all. By the way...Hooray for Shaun!! It makes such a difference when your guy keeps his smile. :)
