Well, on Sunday here in central Ohio we had some crazy amazing wind! My chimney blew off of my house! Yeah, this twenty foot siding covered wooden box with metal cylinders crashed through my deck and was laying in my backyard!
It was pretty ridiculous and of course Akira (my 6 year old daughter) was only concerned about her toys being blown away. Oh, to only be 6 years old again :)
Well anyways, called Nationwide, insurance company for the house, and they say that they have taken over 500,00 claims and they have no idea when they will get out to my house so just take as many pictures as I can (already done) and have a contractor go ahead and come out to remove it and tarp the hole and the roof where half the shingles were blown off.
The contractors came out and hauled it away, amazed at how little damage the chimney did to the house when it fell. It literally fell into the house, rolled down the smaller roof section and crashed onto the deck.
Akira has been ridiculously grumpy today. I am talking about arguing with everything, even painting her firetruck (a big box that we cut holes in for her legs and WERE painting red) because she has now decided that she wants to have a fireWOMAN truck so it should be black. So we start painting one side black and she decides that she like it better red. Well guess what, red doesnt paint over black very well. So we called my brother and asked him to bring her another box so we can repaint. Oh well, maybe she will listen to mommy next time, although I doubt it. She is probably about as stubborn, if not more stubborn than me so I sense many more little arguements to come. I swear she is 6 going on 16.
I have applied to numerous blogging websites today, as well as some ghostwriting companies so wish me luck!
