Well, the rain has finally subsided.  In it's wake though I have a rather droopy bathroom ceiling that is going to need to be taken down.  Sent husband up into the cubby hole last night to ascertain the problem.  There's a board up there that is saturated and dripping onto the ceiling.  Some hole in the roof.  He has an ingenious idea (that I quickly squelch) about going out on the roof to fix the hole...really?  in a tropical storm.  Make sure your life insurance is paid up in full thanks!  Or better yet, why don't I just push you out the window?  Sometimes I wonder.  Not to much other damage though, just some blown around fall decor in the yard.  Down the street there is a car with a really big branch laying on top of it.  Ugh!  Had the air on last night because it was so dang humid.  Off this morning though for a treat of 58 degrees (loving it)

Last night Madi developed that barky little cough I know quite well...croup.  Better today.  Ummm...not another trip to the doctor, ugh! She snuggled up with me all night in bed and seemed ok.  Such a sweety. 

Jacob went to his Tiger Scout signup last night...woo hoo!  He learned the sign for "silence". Umm, i should try that!

hope to take some pics today and post them over the weekend.  have a great day all!
