We had huge storms last night… I kept waking up to the entire house shaking from the thunder. Then this morning I woke up to the phone. It was Matt and he said Troy, the guy he is with in MN, had a foot of water in his basement and that I better go check ours. What a great way to wake up first thing in the morning. We did have water in the basement, but thankfully it was not a foot. I got the kids off to school (Christian informed me when we got home this afternoon that I was in too big of a hurry because I forgot to put the top piece of bread on his sandwich. UGH LOL He said then his whole class sang a song “No bread on sandwich” which he is singing for me now. So glad I could be the entertainment for the lunch hour. Oh Ryan now says I did the same to his. Guess I just popped on the lid to the containers and thought I was done. OOPS) Anyway… I came home and used the old carpet cleaner to suck up all the water. Unfortunately, there was a red fabric basket on the ground that stained our new painted floor…. So if anyone has an idea on how to get that out please let me know… I tried goo gone, and a bleach spray and neither of those worked… I am out of Mr. Clean Erasers… Guess that will be my next course of action. I’m kinda thinking if bleach didn’t do it nothing will. Of course I haven’t gone down to look lately, maybe it eventually did work.

So yes… it rained A LOT… I am not positive on the totals but I have heard around 4.5 to 5 inches. The Milford schools were closed because you can’t get to town due to flooded roads. So yes we enjoyed the warm weather, but now we have a mess. I can only imagine how much snow it would have been if it was colder.

Christian is supposed to know his birthday, phone number and address for school. They test every quarter. He has failed so far, and is at the point that Dane now knows our phone number because I repeat it so often for Christian and Christian STILL doesn’t get it. UGH. I am writing it down for him now in hopes that maybe that will help. I think he has birthday memorized finally. We won’t even talk about address.

So that’s the excitement of the day here.
