I was working from home this morning because part of the highway was shut down due to wrecks from black ice. So I decided to stay at home for a little while when all the sudden my lights are flickering and I lose connection... then the ambulance goes by.... then the fire truck.... Im a small town so in town, sirens arent always used.
My neighbors house was on FIRE! It is a complete loss. There are some thing that are salvable in the home but other than that... its gone. After all said and done, we had two neighboring cities come in to assist.
They have 8 kids, 5 are still at home. My house has been hub central all day and my washer/dryer have never seen so much laundry. I have been washing what they were able to get out so far.
Im exhausted and feel just horrible for them. The Red Cross put them up in a hotel for 3 days but after that... not sure where they aer going to go. What a horrible feeling. Esp w/5 kids! Luckily all the teen girls are able to stay with friends.
I also have inherited their dog. I love Rosie, she is a sweet old dog but she does not like Sam. So I am not sure what we are going to do there. She is an outside dog so that helps.
Luckily this weekend its suppoesd to be 70 -- today hasnt got over 33 but tomorrow, its gonna be 70 -- Texas!
Im off to bed now. Please say a prayer for the family. Thank you!
PS Grayxie... thanks for the sending the firemen my way but I think Id rather have them the other way
Besides....I was lookin ever so sexy in shorts, not brushed hair, no make up.... oh yea... thats HOT...
