What a crazy morning? How is your day so far?

I have had a very crazy morning here in South Florida. I woke up to a cold shower, as our water heat seems to have checked out of the working world. While I was in the cold shower, I hear someone knocking on the door really hard. I run out in my towel, take a look out the window, and see a very official SWAT-looking cop out there. I shout out "One second!", and I run in and put my clothes on, while my heart is pounding. When I finally get to open the door, the cop and his 7-12 followers have moved on to next door. One of them, pulls his hand up to let me know to stay were I am, while he says "We've found the right place!" Our neighbor's grandchildren, who she takes care of at times, have a reputation of trouble, so I figure that might have something to do with about 10 armed cops, in security wests pounding on my door early in the morning. As if this wasn't enough, the morning newscasts are warning all old -, young -, and people with respiratory problems to stay indoors, because we have ashes dropping down from the sky, because of wildfires in the Everglades. Both my sons and I have asthma and we had to take extra medication this morning, because it affects our breathing. At times the ashes have actually been looking like snow, and yesterday you could really smell the fire, and feel the ashes in the air. How has your day been so far? I sure do not hope you were greeted by the SWAT team!

Hello,smartmom, how are you? Hope you are fine these days.I have been pretty good these days and I have an extra day off because of the public holiday in Australia,but the weather these days is not really good, it has been raining for few days and I even forgot to bring an umbrella with me one day, my clothes and boy were dampen by the cold rain waterwhich made me freezing.

Hi Easy888, I am doing well thank you. The weather here is on and off, but my sons and I have gotten ourselves a cold, so we are staying in doors.

My day hasn't been as exciting as yours, but it was a good day. I actually got to spend some quality time with my husband. I want to move to Florida some day, but I'm thinking South Florida sounds a bit too crazy for me. LOL

My morning has not been nearly as exciting as yours. I got up at 5:45 made coffee for my husband. Packed his lunch,turned on the computer. Woke my husband up,poured his coffee,got him his morning meds. Then I checked my e-mail while he yawned awhile. Then I made him breakfast. Then I kissed him good bye when he left for work. Then I woke my daughter and got her up and off to school. Man my life is boring... I'm going to make cornbread stuffing and roasted chicken for dinner. Thats my day in a nut shell. Oh I might go grocery shopping tonight. Hope the rest of your day runs smoothly hopefully they will get the fires under control.
