Excuse my whining, I'm having a bummer of a night/day.
We're having quite a storm here; the wind has been howling and the rain has been pelting for hours now.
I went downstairs to heat up my tea, half-asleep. I kept hearing watery noises, but assumed they were outside. Suddenly it clicked in my head that no, that wasn't outside... I went in the bathroom, and you can imagine my horror at seeing a hole in the ceiling, and plaster and water all over the floor.
This is the leak that our shiny new roof that we (of course) paid thousands of dollars for supposedly fixed. Merry Christmas. Argh. 
I could just cry. Instead I grabbed my biggest stockpots, and put them under the leaks (there's actually 2), and mopped up the floor, and Adam can deal with the rest of it when he gets home. Just yesterday I was doing some mental calculating and general reflecting, and thinking that we'd be kind of caught up on things sometime soon. I should have known better than to even THINK that kind of optimism.
Topping it off, I'll be spending today up at Adam's mom's house - yeah, the woman I got out of spending Thanksgiving with - unfortunately, that was only putting off the inevitable. We're leaving at 10am and we'll be back sometime late tonight... in between, I'll be choking on smoke and suffering through a headache from the noise.
Blah!

Hey, sorry you have to be stuck with some bummer family.
This Christmas evening, I'll be away from the house to avoid a nasty confrontation w. my toxic brother.
I hope that you can find a "good place" to go to while being with people you rather not be with...believe me I know that song.
Keep your chin up and don't let the turkeys get you down. Eat them for Thanksgiving (or breakfast on the 26th, if you know what I mean).
Dumas.

Now that just plain SUCKS! 
Will they be able to come repair the roof soon? I hope so. It should be under contract and not cost you guys a single penny.
Try to have a great Christmas.
Big hugs to you.

Awe Casey! I know how much you were dreading going to Adam's moms house and now this. Your poor tummy (and bum I'm sure)!
Wasn't it Adam's father that did the roof?? Well, regardless, it should be under warranty so you shouldn't have to pay another dime to get this leak fixed!
Crap like this can happen when the wind and rain howl like last night. Thank heaven it wasn't anywhere else, like your bedroom for instance.
I know you're already gone, but I hope you can still enjoy the night tonight, regardless of your surroundings. Just take a deap breath and try to relax.
Love ya Casey!!! Merry Christmas sweetie!!!

Aww Casey I'm sorry to hear about the leak - what a pain! I hope you won't have to pay for the roof to be repaired.
Good luck at Adam's mom's house and I hope you can still have a Merry Christmas! Hugs!

a) roof should be under warranty and you can hold them accountable for any interior damage too due to a faulty NEW roof... b) good luck getting thorugh todya we're going somewhere with friends I doubt I'll be able to eat a thing, packing luna bar in case and figure I'll enjoy the company no matter what!
Dinner with other friends is Sushi- much better
