My turn for some hugs

[newfiemountiewife]

We had a vicious rain storm over the weekend, and we thought a bit of water got in on one side of the basement. It wasn't flooded, nothing serious, we figured we'd have to throw out a few boxes with books or something or other.

I was insanely busy at work the past two days, so I didn't have time to get on it until this morning. The water went everywhere. Christmas gifts, boxes, books, everything is saturated on the bottom. Luckily we have a pick up and Tony can go to the dump with this stuff, but my Christmas gifts! *sob*

All the boxes are ruined, I just hope the gifts inside is ok. Like Amelia's Barbie is wet, but I think it's just the box. I hope the skirt on the Barbie isn't wet. I am heartbroken about it, I've had to throw away my school year books all kinds of stuff. I have most stuff in plastic containers, but not everything. I had to toss a box with some of the kids stuff when they were babies, I didn't really go through it because I didn't want to know.

I'm going to grab some soup or something, then get back into it. :(

[newfiemountiewife]

Thanks guys, I went down there and had to throw away tons of books and things. I have more to do, but it is Tony's birthday, so I will save the guy from having to help me.

We're just going to dry out the kids gifts the best we can, and if it's no good, we'll have to replace them. There are some that were wrapped, that I have to rewrap. :thumbdown:
