Hi all,

Sycamore got flooded by the trailer park (again). Those poor people had to be moved (those who would go). There was nothing in our local paper until today. :mad: I was thinking all weekend that they had made it through this one unscathed, but not so.

Two of my little trees I just planted were leaning over slightly, so DH had to go out and stake them yesterday. Luckily the yard didn't open up and swallow him, it was that wet and spongy back there.

I hope everyone will be doing ok with the flood waters starting to recede and hopefully the power being restored.

We have one small generator big enough for our freezer and/or the sump pump. We were very lucky our power didn't go out.

These storms are just crazy, and still there are people who tell me they don't believe in global warming. :confused: It wasn't like this when I was growing up, was it? At least not all the time like it is now.

Thanks Frank, hugsss
I am slowing down, my body is achey all over, hurting....the other day killed me I guess...

worse than me...My sister Madeline, she finally told my mom, that the past few weeks, she has been either in bed, or very very tired, and hurting a lot...
please pray for her, and my brother in law...

my nieces boyfriend, just came over there and asked them for their daughters hand in marriage...and wants to know if cool with them if they do the wedding really soon....( I think he knows my sister since this cancer started worried about not seeing either of her daughters weddings....her son got married right as she first started the cancer....)

So maybe there will be a wedding coming real soon...we will see...just hoping she is not in too much pain...she is also now on a list with another specialist from one other area....that if she does more testing they want to try to treat her.....I am not sure if she is going to go for more testing for that....or just fight now without meds....unsure...

hugsss all, thanks for your continued prayers for my babys name sake..Madeline....my little one is Maria Madeline....but as you know we have called her Maddie ever since her birth....(that madeline was there for)

hugss all, mellow now..gotta go get busy, hugsss,sarah

Hey all thanks for all the kind thoughts, I am beat, my doc was great she said I was th best employee she has ever had and that I act like I have been working there at least 6 months already and that she cannot believe I haven't worked in a clinic before, so that was nice, unfortunately I was also the on call nurse today so I ended up working almost 11 hours! I am off to bed shortly!

Get some rest, Renee!

Isn't it nice to hear that you're doing a good job? I mean, a raise and stuff like that is always nice but just to hear the words from a superior that they think you're doing a great job is sometimes worth even more!

I'm so glad to hear that the job is working out. This is just one of many things that will be working out in your favor! :)

I'm going to catch up on everyone's posts in a second, but wanted to let you guys know I'm ok.

We were out of power for about 24 hours. Our internet provider didn't get back up until we woke this morning. There's still over 200,000 in my area out of power. Thankfully the temps dropped so being without A/C hasn't been bad since the winds stopped. Though during the windstorm I did have to take a cold shower to cool off once.:rolleyes:

We lost a butterfly bush and part of the trim of the house. LOL, wish it wasn't the piece of trim on the second floor. Hubby and roofs don't get along, so we need to hunt down someone who can help.

Thankfully the tree was, according to my insane hubby who went outside for a little while, on the calmest area for the wind. It shook like crazy, lost all it's leaves, but still hung in there.

We get winds like this on occassion, but the length of time it hit us is not something central ohio is used to, LOL

Hoping everyone's ok. :grouphug:

Renee, just read up on all going on. Sorry to hear about what's going on. :hug: Hope you recovered well from your long day at work.

Weave, Still thinking of ya. :hug:

Kay, hope you're feeling better today. :hug:

Sandy, Thanks for the pics. Yep, I think that tree got watered - LOL

Everyone, If I missed ya, sorry. :( But still love ya all. :grouphug:

:yahoo: nice to see you back online, Jenn! :yahoo: you were missed and many prayers were being sent for your safety ...

Hey Weave .. continued in thoughts and prayer ... it sounds like you are moving forward ... step by step ... and it may seem slow at times, remember that you are moving ahead!

UPDATE::

be good (that means you too :Poke: Frank!!) ;)

Weave, :hug::hug:

LOL, think all the roofers are busy or still out of power. Tried to get estimates, but could only get through to one. Everyone else either has a full message box or busy signals. :D
