The water is the basement is finally gone. We've spent the last week cleaning up after the sump pump could not keep up with the rainfall. The entire finished basement flooded. Who knew that baby quilts can float in 6 inches of water? Or that cardboard boxes come apart and those important teaching materials that you've stored so carefully to go through some day tear so easily when you try to flatten them out to dry! What a mess! All of the furniture and storage items are now piled upstairs in our main living areas. My husband and I are eating upstairs in our bedroom because the kitchen and dining room tables have things like TVs, lamps, etc. sitting on them. And the restoration people just told us it would be two weeks before they can get back to us to fill in the hundreds of holes they drilled in the walls to pump heat and air to dry out the drywall.
Looking on the brighter side--I don't need to clean house for awhile!
Hope everyone is dry and enjoyed a few days off!

I'm so sorry to hear about what the rain has done to you! I was just complaining to Media Com that every time it rains, I lose my connection...but this is so minor in comparison. Tomorrow I'm in Kirbyville, and I hope all the roads are open! More importantly, I hope you can stay dry!
