It's just one of those days.......

The calendar says it's spring, but if you live in Kansas, don't believe it. I have been up since 1:30 AM. That's when all hell broke out in the land of OZ. It all started on Friday around 11 AM. It sleeted all day, all evening and then sometime in the wee hours of the morning the temperature went up and it rained. The rain turned to ice and what you see is the result The carport collapsed and now this mess is what I see when I go out my front door. Oh yeah, not to mention that my beautiful PT is sitting under it. The spoiler is bent, and a 2 x 4 is laying on the roof.

That's about all I can really see. It ripped the siding on the house, and right now my prayer is that it doesn't fall anymore. If it does the car is toast.

I had a security light underneath it and when the thing went down it tripped the breaker, so I had no power in about 1/2 of the front of my house. Thank God I have a son who is an electrician and now I am fixed. He got out in the mess to help his ole Mom. Thanks Son!
My nerves are frazzled, I wonder how in the world this is going to get cleaned up, hopefully the insurance people will have some answers for me. And yes, the claims have been filed and they were wonderfully helpful. I want to give a shout out to my neighbor Faye. My God, what would I ever do without her. She talked me down and I finally stopped crying. She trudged out in the mess to just be a supportive friend, reminding me that there is a silver lining in all things. So, how's your day going?
