Wind Storm

We had a wind storm yesterday and guess what? Yes, a tree fell on our house. Not just any tree, a huge oak tree. It hit from the side on the front. It put two holes in the roof, one the size of a football and the other the size of a softball. Then detached the porch from the house, took off the gutter, took off the screens from two windows, took out the mailbox, and made our light pole lean. So the tree people came and removed the tree from the house but it was getting dark outside and their mulcher went out earlier this morning, so we have parts of the tree all in the front yard. They said to not be surprised if it is next Monday or Tuesday before they come to clean up the mess and to cut down the rest of the monster and take out the stump. The company we are going thru had 97 calls for estimates today, I believe this number was just after lunch.

Now we have to wait for an adjuster to come and inspect the damage before we can get any work done. I just hope no squirrels or birds decide to come and join us in the house.

Now we have a basement waiting to get worked on and the exterior of the house waiting also. I just love being a homeowner =)

Thank goodness it is Friday!!

So this was a long week! I am so glad that its the weekend, but they go by so fast that it's crazy. Have I mentioned to anyone how much I hate the ISTEP?!? I was doing some practice problems with my students this week and got more frustrated as the days went on. How can one test say anything about a student? There so many reasons why a student did well or poorly on a test. If you want to get me heated on a subject, approach me with this...Off to the football game, my husband better sit with me on the Memorial side if he knows what is good for him ;)

Pray =)

Isn't it funny how when everything seems so perfect, something comes crashing down and rains on your parade?!? I LOVE how great everything is right now. I am not ready for big changes. (Not talking about a baby) So without going into detail, please pray for me and my situation!
