The Korean's have a saying something like 'Bad things happen in 3s." So, right about now--we would be finished with bad things.
It has rained today--a real answer to prayers--to help in the forest fires that have flared up all over the western states this dry, hot Spring. It hasn't rained in 36 continuous days here, until today. Today--we had "rain" inside and out!
About a week ago, we learned that we have a leak in the old, shingles that replaced the newly restored Exercise room. Joe and I agreed to remove all the shingles ourselves to cut costs...can't in rain.
Joe's car wouldn't start after work, he limped to the car dealership to get it fixed, they stayed late and he tipped well only to have it not start? Starter need replacing?
Anticipating the beginning of Summer holidays, birthdays, and reunions, I replaced all Dixie plates, lunch and dinner sizes, formal paper napkins, cups, etc. last week at Sams Club. Joe heard a "rushing" sound and figured a teen was in the shower, Rebekah heard water and figured I was running a bath for sick Susie, Nope! Jonathan came runnig up to our room yelling, "Mom, Dad, we've got a leak! It's raining down stairs!"
Major leak in the upstairs new girls bathroom--flood, moved everything salvageable to the garage tonight...First night in ages ALL children were in bed by 9--got them all up (but whiny, sick Susie) to help carry stuff off Food Storage shelves to garage. New carpet and pad all sopping, etc.
A bit overwhelmed!
