Keeping My head above water...

Where do I even start...3 weeks ago I began working from home I've been in the process for awhile now of getting things in my Home ready for me to be able to work 2 days out of the week from the comfort and quiet of Home...Well I guess you could say I sure am glad that 3 weeks ago I was home because had I not been home my house would have floated away...I was watering my front yard with my little sprinkler My Husband came home from our office for lunch and I turned the water off prior to his arrival...he ate and visited with me and then about an hour later left the house...about 2 min after he left I realized I turned the water off but was still hearing water running somewhere and then it dawned on me , we had been having issues with our Master Bathroom toilet water getting stuck and running we were always here to catch it before it became a problem until 3 weeks ago this Tuesday...as I freaked out in my mind and went running down my hallway I got a little over half way and felt the squish of water...Yep my room and bathroom were under about 4-5 inches of water...My Husband quickly returned to our house and called the Insurance Company that have been so great at getting everything  under control...it is a long process in an older home as they have to make sure the inner walls are not damaged ...I have large holes drilled into the base of the walls in our room and bathroom...water damage was so bad the whole house is getting new carpet...keep in mind I have a Bible Study in my home every Monday evening and since the front room, kitchen and front Bathroom are not effected we have carried on with our study as if nothing else matters because it really doesn't....to top it off my sweet dear neighbors brought over a delicious box of apricots fresh picked from their tree so in the middle of water damage I got to stop and do what I love doing and that is make Jam...I guess you could say instead of making lemonade out of lemons I made Jam out of Apricots...all the same I am not going to let this effect my attitude in the least little bit...I am blessed with the best Girlfriends that said to me lets just keep doing our Bible Study anyway because a messy home makes us feel at home...since I am not able to quilt right now at least I am able to make some Jam, I even froze two big freezer bags of Apricots all ready for another day of Jam making...
