Where Does the Time Go?

Lets see, what has happened lately? Brance made the middle school baseball team! Annie starts softball practice next Tuesday. We will be running is a lot of different directions over the next two months. Luckily Brance's season only lasts five weeks and Annie should be finished by the end of May. Grandma is finally back home, alone and appears to be doing some better.

Last week my kids were out of school the entire week for Presidents Day so on Thursday mom and I took them to Pigeon Forge for a few days. We stayed in a condo with a nice indoor water area and a few water slides. Mom cooked breakfast for us each day and we had a really good time. Probably the best time we have had in a while.

Of course Ricky stayed home to work. Somebody has to make some money. Michelle changed my background, thank you Michelle! State Farm has finally agreed to put a new roof on my house! I filed a claim last July over some storm damage. A lot of the shingles have fallen off the house. Water is pouring in Annies bedroom. State Farm denied the claim. Of course I won't take no for an answer so I argued with them until they sent someone else back out here. A different claim person came yesterday, she was incredible and really knew what she was doing. She told me they were going to replace the entire roof and I would know the entire settlement by Friday for the interior work. We have water leaks in the living room, both kids bathrooms, nine different places in Annies bedroom, and water leaks in both of the bonus rooms. The way she talked, Annies room is going to have to be totally gutted and started all over. YUCK! This is going to be worse for us than when we had the hardwood installed everywhere downstairs and we moved upstairs for two months. I'm really dreading the mess this is going to be. Sometime I have to get everything in the bonus room organized and moved to the basement as well as packing up Annies room and moving her into the living room. She loves to sleep on the sofa so this will be great for her. Plus Beulah likes to sleep on the sofa with her so I will be able to sleep good and have room to move around.

Well its time to get some supper started, Brance will be hungry when he gets home any minute now.
