Let me preface this: last year at this time my husband and I lost our house to the flooding in ND (we had just bought it, been living in it for about a month and a half, and found out we were expecting our first baby). So I was hormonal last summer (ended up losing that baby) ...lived in a camper for three months, then a FEMA trailer for almost 4 months and we rebuilt the upstairs and moved back in in January (basement got hired out and was completed about three weeks ago) but couldn't really unpack much because we were living in construction zone.
House is finally finished except for painting a few rooms and the exterior. I was unpacking a few things in the living room today and the garbage crew showed up to remove the last of our garbage from the flood. I have planted myself on the floor over the central air vent because I've been crying tears of joy for almost 20 minutes and need some cool air to calm me down! I am just so happy that I no longer have to look at the garbage on my front yard....building materials, flooded items, etc....I know others still have to and I feel terrible for them. It's like the last of that horrible experience is done now.
Sorry, thanks for listening to my hormonal story ![]()
Re: NBR--well kind of--hormonal crying
Oh wow. I'm sorry you went through that. We had our basement flood in a freak down pour (8 inches fell overnight) while I was pregnant with Eloise. It was incredibly stressful and doesn't even compare to what you had to go through.
You deserved the good cry
