A storm last night knocked out our internet and cell phone service, which meant the hubs could not work from home and we could not call anywhere in an emergency. While I was in the shower, it was decided we should immediately load up the family and head to my parents' house in town for the day. Too bad we couldn't call to tell them. No worries though, they welcomed our brood with loving arms.
During the course of our day, our youngest rumbled with a brick hearth requiring a quick and unexpected trip to the only doctor we could find open with Dermabond on hand. One glued forehead later, we were back in business.
Tee-ball was cancelled due to the storm, which was no biggie as it was a super late game.
When we arrived back home to returned cell/internet service - yay!-, we found that our annual order of homeschool books had arrived, been left on the door step, and been digested by our dogs - !!!!!! After picking up the scattered pieces of our expensive order, we called the shipping company who said "call the shipper," who was, of course, closed for the day. A careful review of the damaged items found that only three items were seriously damaged at a cost of less than $18 - whew!!
The ironic part of all of this: one of the books that was in pieces was aptly titled, It Could Always Be Worse. LOL and Amen to that!!
Here's to hoping you had a great day today.
