Are we done yet?

The answer to that is a big fat NOOOO. :/

Gosh I hate being this busy,...I seriously need to finish this madness called summertime projects and call it good.

The kids are done with school as of Wed. It was a half day and thats it for the year. Part of me is happy with this, part of me not so much. The happy part is less running around, more time together as a family, the not so fun part is I didn't get my projects completed and so I have to figure out how to do those on top of keeping everyone happy/occupied/safe etc.

The laundry room is about 70% of the way done. The roof took an extra week because right as Dean was pulling the old boards off to replace this horrible storm hit with what I would describe as jungle rain (not exaggerating either! lol). I ran outside to help throw tarps on everything and we did get several roof leaks which meant back out into the rain to adjust the tarps and re-nail them. When it was all said and done it looked like I had been thrown in a lake, not an inch of me was dry (same for everyone else too). Anyways the rain has been pretty consistent in the last 2 weeks so it wasn't until last weekend he finished it on saturday just before a really bad storm hit our area saturday night. There were tornadoes in our area, one hit the town of Dundee and did quite a bit of damage and hurt several people. Our town got hit in certain places...our neighborhood got pummeled pretty bad....trees were twisted and snapped off, branches covered the ground, 2 cars were totaled, downed power lines everywhere. We lost power for about 18 hours, of course I did just grocery shop friday afternoon, figures. Thankfully it wasn't long enough to harm anything and we kept the freezers shut. My big tree out back stood tall and strong though, that mighty maple has lost but 1 branch in the 5 years we have been here and we have had many storms like this in the past. It's odd yet comforting as well seeing as if it did go down half my house would be gone. The tree diameter is probably about 3-4 feet no joke. It's probably been here almost as long as the house has been.

In other news I started body bootcamp. I'm sore everywhere but I know that means its doing what I hoped it would so its all good lol.

Sadie turned 6 yesterday. So hard to believe.
I have pictures to update with but they will have to wait until I have a moment (read get above named projects done).

Nate and JP are in baseball right now, so that on top of BC, zoo teens, and the projects well yeah you get the picture. So sick of being this busy.................
