I've been making elf videos. Who knew so much time could be wasted in one day? At least it's kept the kids entertained. If you haven't been "Elfed" yet, you will. Apparently it's an epidemic.
On a more serious note. I watch the news every day. I try to keep up on what's happening on the other side of the pond, but I had no idea about the floods in the Northwest. What really makes this ironic is that my sister lives in Washington and my in-laws in Northern California. You'd think SOMEONE would've mentioned it.
It's a terrible, terrible thing to lose your home. You come out saying "Well, we're all safe and that's what matters", and really, at the time, you mean it. But the loss does matter and it matters for the rest of your life when you reach for that one photo, one video tape, letter from your Grandma before her death, etc...
I know this because we lost our home in 1991. The day after Christmas. We all got out safely, wearing only pajamas, and watched the house burn completely down while it snowed.
I know it's only stuff, and time does heal, but I ache for those people! I hope they are surrounded by good, selfless people. For info on how you can help, check out the blog by daringyoungmom
