The flood

Life has difficult at our house to say the least. Father's day weekend we were all set to go up to Jason's aunt's 70th surprise birthday party. We had opted not to take Conner with us because he is wild and I was afraid he might get lost in the woods. I had images of me looking for him. Jason had to work on that Saturday and then we were headed out right after he left work. My mom came to stay with Conner at my house because he sleeps better in his own bed. The day started off bad. We got a late start and as I was packing Conner handed me my pill contatiner and I noticed some of them were missing after counting them and putting them back in their right places. ( I never leave my medicine out but put them in my purse the night before so I would remember to take them) Conner never gets in to my purse but he did that time.. I felt like a gulity mommy. He kept insiting that he did take them. So we called posion control. They kept calling my mom to make sure everything was ok, said to watch him and if he is bleeding or gets lots of brusing to take him to the Emergency room. Conner managed to be fine the whole weekend and we didnt have to get him into to see the dr till Monday morning for a blood test. It came back fine! What a relief. Now back to the prescott story, we almost opted not to go because we realized that Jason's trucks gas gague was broke and we could not tell how much gas he had in it so we kept a gas containor with us just in case we ran out of gas. Once we got to prescott, it was nice to be away from the heat and the party was really nice, It was nice to have a break from conner although I was still worrying about him. We slept in a tent and I manage to be frozen the whole night. I guess there even javelin's in the middle of the night right by our tent. EEEK Scary. The next day I woke up and called my mom to see how Conner was, She said he was good and sleep the whole night good. Then she asked me where I was at. I said.. We are in prescott still..Why ? She says well......... Your washing machine overflowedand you have water all through your house. She says, I called people to come dry it up and I also called a plumber in case you have a problem with your hoses. I said.. cancel the plumber since I have a home warrenty and would work on getting one of those when I needed him. We were anxious to get home not knowing what we would walk into.. We walked into, 2 guys, ripping up our linolum and carpet, ripping off our doors and ripping off the baseboards. I did call amica my insurance company and we realized we had to pay a 500 deductable. The guys got started on the work and it was so hard to see my house torn apart like this but.. On the fip side a week before I was just saying how much I hated the carpet we had and how I wanted new carpet and I so badly needed a vacation. I guess God answered both of those prayers lol. The adjuster came in and wrote down what needed to be replaced and the total damage was about 16.000 dollars. I guess the drying people dry force put in too many fans to dry it and they dont usually use this company because they are known for being excessive, Their bill alone for 2 days was 5.000 dollars. I am so glad I have insurance. On the 10th we are getting new carpet and linolum in and the dry wall people just finished their work so maybe it will look like a new house again. The air condtioning did go out on thursday and friday and I will save that for another post.. That is a huge story as well.
As long as we are safe and no one got hurt that is what matters. although I lost a week of work and that was rough but God gave me my vacation even if it was chaotic.
