Sharing blessings, you thought your day sucked
Close friends of ours are now shacking up with us (read her explanation below). And we wouldn't have life any other way Heather and I are so blessed that this is the least we want to do, and would love to do more.
The Day That Turned Out Sucky Current mood: shocked
Ok so here I am sitting in my best friends house not sleeping because to many thought are running through my head Let me back track a little bit..................
September 10, 2006 I decide that my big project for the upcoming week it to peel out all the caulking for the tub and fix it.So I go to Ace Hardware and pick some up...
September 11, 2006
7:30a.m. Get up start my day as usual. Make breakfast, get drinks ready for the girls, get dressed and make Lizzies lunch
8:00a.m. Get Lizzie up for school, get Emily changed and dressed.
8:30a.m. Get Lizzie on the bus, make breakfast for Emily and myself and srtip all the sheets off the beds (It's Monday and that is sheet changing day) Turn on the computer and Sesame Street and start to check my email; Turn on the other Tv to listen to the 9/11 Service on TV
8:46a.m. On TV the Bells just started ringing and the names were being read and there was a POP in my house. So I go check the fuse box and the breaker was off the the Upstairs Bathroom Lighting, but it won't flip back on.So I figure I will call Eric at work around lunch time and remind him to check on it when he gets home.
9:06a.m. The doorbell starts ringing like crazy and I run up the stairs (picture this my sheets and personall items are laying at the bottom of the stairs and I am yelling I will be right there while kicking them to the laundry room door) So my neighter Barbara (aka BESTEST LADY EVER) is outside. See the next I am not sure how long below:
Barbara: I think your house might be on fire
Me: WHAT (at this point I run outside and freak out)
Barbara: Where is the baby
Me: Here (at this point I threw Emily out the door to her hoping she would catch her)
***Then I run back in the house for the dog push him out***
***Then I run back in the house for my purse***
***Then I run back in the house for the car keys***
***Then I run back in the house for the phone***
***Then I run back in the house to turn off the main power***
Yeah, yeah yeah so I ran in the house like 4 time even though there was billowing black smoke coming from my roof.. WHATEVER!! Don't judge me...
I call 911:
911: hello what is you emergancy
Me: my freaking house is on fire please send someone quickly (at this point I am patroling around the outside of my house)
911: What is your name Me: Rebecca
911 What is your phone numbe mam:
Me: I don't know
911: Is it and they say my number
Me: I guess so
911: What is your address:
Me: I don't freaking know just send someone now my house is on fire
911: Ok mam we know where you are can you give me any directions
Me I don't freaking know just get someone to my Goddam house is it on fire.
**At this point Barbara takes the phone and gives them directions*** Now my neighbors from behind me are there.
Frank: are you ok I called my wife she is coming home
Me: what
Frank is now yelling at his wife in the phone just come home her house is on fire and she is having a nervouse breakdown in the driveway.
**I was at this point on my knees hysterically crying**
Barbara is running out into the road as I squeese Emily as hard as I can to catch the ambulance.. Franks wife shows up and takes a blanket from the ambulance and takes Emily with her. The dog is at the other neighbors next door. Now the fun begins..... I decide I should call Eric at work because the ambulance is there and the EMT people are checking the house and the power. They come out and say that the house is on fire in the attic (NO FREAKING SHIT!!!!)
So I call Eric
Secratary: Good Morning Addmissions
Me: This is Becky I need Eric Now
Secratary: Oh Hi Bec...
Me: Stop I need Eric right now there is an emergancy
Eric: Hey whats up
Me: You need to come home right now the house is on fire
Eric: What
Me: The house is on freaking fire get home now
Eric: Call 911 Me: No shit I already did GET HOME NOW
Then I call my mother:
Mom: Good Morning Sally Beauty Supply
Me: I need dad to come up right now my house is on fire I need daddy right now
Mom: OH MY GOD I will call him right now
Then I call my father in Law:
Dad M: Hey Beck
Me: I need you to come up my house is on fire
Dad: Call 911
Me: I did they are here please come up
Dad: I have something to pick up first and I will be right there
*** I know what the hell can't it wait my house is on fire***
Mean while my best friend shows up and we go running to each other like to long lost lovers (DORKY but true) And now I am watching them put out the fire. The whole time thinking OH MY GOD... But it can't be to bad there are not flames shooting out, uh oh thought that to soon because here they come shooting out of the roof. The fire cheif comes over to me and says that they need to cut my roof up and my house up to contain the fire because it is still in the attic. I don't even know time at this point but firemen are coming up to me giving me small details and my best friends husband comes running down the road with jackets and hugs me and now I start to cry again.. He is my go to man at this point. He called the insurance company and gets the ball rolling. Now my entire family is here, my dad (who by the way is sporting a chourdroy sport jacket with patches on the sleeve.), my father in law, my husband (who just has this shocked look on his face the whole time), my mom, and my 2 sisters... (I AM VERY LUCKY) So the fire is out, and they let me and Eric in the house... HOLY CRAP!!!!! That is all I can say.. My neat house is no more... The carpets are puddles, the floors are buckling, the cabinets are dripping, the toilets are filled with crap, the ceiling are peeling, the walls are crumbling, the counters are buckling, the stop is wet, but the plus is I now have a sky light in my bathroom right above the toilet. WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!! September 12, 2006 We are now homeless, well not really we are crashing at my best friends house THANK GOD!!!!!!! Elizabeth is still in school and pretty calm just worried about her toys.
But we are all ok just frazzled and that is the good part.....
