Bad news today.

You know how I told you sometimes ice cubes fall from the sky here? Well, last week we had a terrible storm. No one that lives around here can ever remember a storm this bad. Ice the size of golf balls and some even as big as tennis balls were falling on us for over half an hour, and there was a tornado really close to the house. I was home all alone and was so scared. Mom didn't even know it happened because by the time she came home from chorus all the ice had melted.

One of our neighbors told Mom that the ice cubes had messed up their roof and Mom should get our roof inspected. So she did, and guess what. We have to put a new roof on the house. The house is only 5 years old. Poor Mom just spent a bunch of money getting her car fixed up, and now she has to fix the roof.

I don't talk about the sad stuff in our life, but today I just have to. She's been working real hard with the bank to get them to let us keep our pretty house, and now this. She's so sad. She didn't sleep last night but tossed and turned all night. It hurts my heart and makes my eyes leak to see her so sad. Can you imagine if she spends all that money to fix the roof and then can't even keep the house? She has insurance, but she says she still has to pay something called a deductible and it's a lot of money.

Thanks my furriends for letting me meow on your shoulders. Sometimes you just have to get the sad stuff out, you know?
