Facebook Update #6

The best part of today is that we found a place to live. It is in Wakefield and will add 15 min each way to our commute, but the place is nice and we can have our cat and we can haul Drew's swing set over. As of right now we can move in on Tuesday. The insurance company will have trucks show up with everything we need including furniture, kitchen necessities, washer and drier, vacuum cleaner, 2 TVs and more. One hurdle cleared for now! The bad part of today is that we found out that my car it totaled. So now in addition to the five million things we already have to do, we also have to shop for a car. Like we have the time or energy to do that right now..... Drew and Jack went back to daycare today and had a fun day. Drew had an absolute screaming meltdown tonight. I think it is really hitting him. Poor baby just loves to be home and putter and do his thing and he can't. My heart just aches for him. I took pictures of the swing set today to show him that "not one drop of fire got on it." We worked in the basement a little bit and realized that we needed some bins to take things out in and also that we should call Serve Pro before we wasted a lot of time. So they are coming tomorrow to talk to us about what they may be able to do to take the smell out of a couple of things. Then we will really work.....we are going to take all of our tools out and see if they dry out then they will be usable. I think our Christmas Decorations are Ok. We may be able to salvage a few of our rubber stamp sets. Other than that it is all a loss. We both had a hard time leaving the driveway this afternoon. As MJ said, "It is just so hard to let go." It is worse every time we go over there. I think because you realize more and more the sheer magnitude of what has happened. It is hard to believe that less than week ago we were having a blast with the boys on the watersides, eating ice cream, and getting ready to celebrate Drew's birthday. It is really sobering to realize how quickly everything was gone. In the blink of an eye....
