So much can happen in soooooo little time

Since I have last posted, it's been crazy around here. I don't know where to start and so I'll do my best.

Two weeks ago, a reporter for the Houston Chronicle gave us a call and told us that they wanted to do an article on us. So we had an interview and the next day, Justin had a photo shoot. It came out on Sunday in the business section on Memorial Day weekend.

Justin ended up working on Memorial day and while he was on the other side of town, his radiator blew and so I had to drive all the way to the south west side of town to help him out. It took us quite a while to get back but it was worth it to keep a client happy.

But yesterday, the day after the holiday, was absolutely insane. We don't start taking calls until 9am and we had phone calls coming in at 7:30 and it didn't stop until 6:00 at night and we close at 5:00. And while I was on the phone, I was driving picking up checks, driving to the bank, writing up estimates and invoices, washed 4 loads of clothes, paid bills and talked to our insurance company. I ended up having to call my mom to watch the kids since I so busy. And after I picked up Justin from home b/c his truck is in the shop, I found a babysitter so that we could have some alone time and on the way to drop them off, a massive thunder storm came in and while we were driving, a tornado, yes, I said a tornado, dropped down around us and moved our car a little and then we watched it go back up into the clouds. But we are troopers, let me tell you, when you find a baby sitter, not even a tornado is going to stop you from going out. I still don't know what to think of yesterday other than, WTF. It was completely insane.

Today is more mellow and now I actually have time to watch my kids while I work. I feel much better. I think that I will sleep well to night. Anyway, my dad copied the article and so here it is in two parts. You can also look up the article on chron.com. In the business section. Anyway, I'm off to work so have a great day.

Wow! I think its huge that your business got featured in the paper like that. And busy is really good. Its way better than not having any work. But I am sure its not easy looking after kids and working.

I'll have to read it when I get home. Girl...you ARE a trooper! I guess you do what you have to do when you can.

Don't miss the tornado's but I do miss the thunder storms. Every time I go to WI, they have a huge one either right before I get there or right after I leave....pfffft!!

Have a good day.
