stake conference, floods, snow & appendicitis?

The title of this blog pretty much sums up the last 36 hours! So much fun... Stake Conference was this weekend which tests my patience. Lane is not at a fun age for 1 hour of sacrament meeting so 2 hours of stake conference was exhausting. But I obediently went only to come home and find that our basement was flooding. Our new sheet rock, texture and almost-ready-to-paint walls wet! The window wells were like bathtubs and Cory was trying so hard to empty them but the water came up above the window and crept in that way too. It has rained so hard the last few days and we had so much snow before that it was just too much and it looked like someone had turned on a faucet in our rain gutters. So then this morning we wake up to a fresh foot of snow and its still snowing. I'm not exaggerating. I got stuck trying to get back into my garage because my mini van isn't a snow plow! Now I get to go shovel the whole stinking drive way! And the icing on the cake was Jaden with major abdominal pain followed quickly by vomitting and fever. Luckily after a trip to the doctor we are just watching him and trying some different things. I need a vacation!
Sorry about the complaining-tell me you all are having similar days! The picture of Lane is my happiness!
