No more rain!
Freaking Water, Water everywhere!!!

Last night, Ben got called to work at 9:00 because the roads were flooding. After checking out the cleaners to make sure nothing was flooded there, he made it back home at 4:30 A.M. At 7:00 a.m. my mother called frantic cause they had over 2 ft of water in their basement. Whatever should they do??? Now, I know they're getting old, and they can't physically do the things they used to do, but once again, they call for help from the Man that they would put down anyother time of the day....Anyway, Ben got up, went and took the sump pump out of his mom's basement..(it was dry, pump wasn't even hooked up) and took it up there, hooked it up, and started slowly pumping water out of mom and dad's basement. Their Furnace and water heater are both probably ruined...hope they have flood insurance!

an hour after he hooked it up, the water was down 3 inches...it's gonna be a long day for him!!!

I came back home, took a load of laundry downstairs and noticed a damp floor in the old cat area....great!!! Just damp...no water standing...Ben wasn't real happy to hear that. Checked the carpet in little Matty's room, and haven't found anyplace that it's soaked....damp...but not soaked.

Hopefully the storms will quit soon??? Please???

Now I'm working on straightening up the house. Got the refriderator cleaned this morning, and am going to vaccume soon...One more week and all this hassel will be over!!! Was going to bake the cake today, but don't have any crisco to grease the pan...guess that mean's a trip to Hy-Vee!

Ramble, Ramble, Ramble.
