Kicked out of daycare

Ha, got your attention! Actually Jayce did get kicked out of daycare for the day on Friday as he got sick with a 12 hour stomach bug. He's fine now but we thought it was funny that on his second week in daycare he already got kicked out. Must take after his dad!

But we're having fun here...well not really. Keith came home on Wednesday night to a house full of smoke. Apparently a nozzle clogged on our furnace and black soot was billowing out of it. Our whole house was affected. We crashed a dinner party across the street at our neighbors until the smoke settled down and we did sleep in our house on Wednesday night. All the damage wasn't apparent to us until Thursday morning when we saw that every plastic kid toy of Jayce's was covered in black. Then we noticed it was on the toilet seat, windows, carpets...basically all over. Everytime you touched something you had black on your hands. Keith took Thursday off and we called the insurance company to come assess the damage. Basically EVERYTHING in our house needs to be cleaned. From our clothes to our medicine bottles! A crew came out on Friday and took away all of our clothes, jackets, bedding, curtains, towels...basically anything that could be washed or drycleaned. Keith and I kept enough clothes to wear over the next two weeks and went to a laundromat in town to do 9 loads of extra large laundry (we've also done 12 loads at the house!). Also a cleaning crew came out on Friday to clean Jayce's room, our bedroom and both bathrooms. They cleaned not only the ceiling, but walls, lamps...again everything. Our house is a disaster right now. All the closets have to be emptied and cleaned and every toy of Jayce's needed to be washed...even the kitchen closet with all of our pots & pans and the china cabinet all need to be cleaned. It is really overwhelming. Even with the cleaning crew doing most of the work, Keith and I are running around making sure all the essentials are washed and that we aren't tracking too much dirt between the dirty & clean rooms. This is just so much work.....Keith said that we are running a Marathon right now and I need to not freak out b/c everything is filthy. But you know me...I'm a sprinter and everything needs to be cleaned now. I am not taking this soot covered house too well! They said that it will take until next Wednesday to clean everything! Wish us luck.
