RE: Clearly Sunday

Ohfour · Hooker

We were snapped out of blissful sleep at 1 am by the fire department banging on my door. My chimney had caught on fire and my deck was also burning. We had no idea. A neighbor got up to check on her daughter and saw it and called...

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

Yikes that is scary. Good thing your neighbor noticed before the whole thing caught fire.

It is crazy windy today. It feels like my whole house is shuddering.

Vette · Owl drink to that!

The only thing I hate about DST is that it's so bright in my room right now I can't sleep!

LOL....

OK. I am not laughing at you but laughing cause we have had the same thing happen to us.

More than once the fire dept. showed up cause the chimney was on fire or the yard or both.

Dad took the ashes out on day. It was Sunday, the wind was blowing and he usually covered the ashes when he took them out but this day the wind was blowing really hard and some got away before he could cover them. Well he put out the ones he saw.

Came back in and we were doing our lazy Sunday thing.

The fire dept. pulled in, sirens blaring, and we looked out and the back yard was on fire. The corner of the well house was burning and the tractor was surrounded and it was heading to dad's building where he kept all his tools and things.

It was about 4 feet from the back of the house.

Another time the chimney caught fire and they showed up and was on the roof before we knew what was going on.

We got really good at listening for the chimney.

Then we moved here. The very first time we tried to use the fireplace, up it went. It cracked the bricks so no more fireplace for us.

Even after all of that, I'd still rather have a fire than this forced air.

Super windy here too. Wanted to light up the fire pit and hang outside but it wouldn't be safe.

I'm thinking about posting a sign on my front door for all the cable people and all the religious people. It will read...

Solicitors and Religious people welcome. The pit bulls haven't eaten in three days and I haven't had a chance to take the new shotgun out to catch them something. Feel free to take your chances and knock.

Yesterday I sent my son out to take down the Halloween decorations. He told me he'd be in the garage if I needed him and I could call him on his cell phone. I said, "How about if I just stick my head out the door and call your name?"

Just now I asked him what he was eating. He said, "A Reeces penis." I laughed in amusement...

Ohhhhh nooooo!!!! You are SO much calmer than I would be ! Wow. So glad the fire didn't spread and you got it all taken care of. Thank heavens for those neighbors too !

It is a gorgeous day here. After so much cold, it is in the upper 50's today. Feels so nice outside.

Today I am cleaning the kitchen and doing laundry. I love to do laundry. I HATE cleaning the kitchen.

hope everyone has a wonderful day and enjoys their extra hour !

She quit her job to be a SAHM right before all this hit the fan, Lily. And it's pretty hard to get a job when you are 7 months pregnant.

I'm sad today. Being inundated with sad memories, and I don't know whether to sit through them and just be sad or to ignore them and distract.

Oh I am sorry. Have one of Blankie's cupcakes. It will make it better.

Sometimes, we just need to wallow a bit in our feelings. Other times we need to suck it up and move on. I don't know how to tell you which day today is. Sending positive thoughts your way.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Yeah, I think it's perfectly acceptable to have a sad day if you need to.

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

Tig, it is okay to have a sad day. I've had a few myself.
Squeakers, hang in there, this to shall pass. Concentrate on Marla, the rest will come in it's own time.
Ohfour, A NEW DECK is in your future!! Glad you are safe and the neighbors caught the fire in time.
We spent the day enjoying a progressive meal. Started at 11 this morning. Loaded all the kids into one stock trailer and adults into another. The kids got to pretend to be cows. They made so much noise!
Started with appetizers here in town. Traveled six miles into the country for the main meal. Then another 2 miles for salads (yeah backwards). Then back to town for desserts. The kids had a trampoline at each home, played football, rode bikes, enjoyed tire swings, pogo sticks, skateboards and played basketball. Those kids are all going to sleep well tonight.
We are so stuffed from all the great food! We will be comatose during church at 6 tonight. Ugh, I can hardly move. We sure had fun and the weather was beautiful. The 2nd of November and it was 67 degrees. Simply amazing.
No baby yet. Stubborn little guy.

Tig, having some sadness now and then is normal. We all have it. If it drags on for more than a day then it is something worry about.
