Well, I went to work yesterday for the first time since the flood. We were "displaced" and landed out at the Linn County Detention Center with some other "refugees". We were confused, overwhelmed and uncertain about what or how we were supposed to do our jobs. We have approximately 1600 open cases and not one file left. But, as my co-worker Lance said, we have to try and get back to normal. We did manage to have one court hearing yesterday - which is truly amazing!!
It is basically a jumbled mess however. I was told yesterday not to come into work on Tues. by my supervisor. Our office manager stopped by at 9:30 p.m. last night (and Dad startled her) with supplies for me to deliver on Tuesday to work. I just had to laugh. So, I'm going to work today, but don't know how long I'll be a "necessary" employee and needed....
After spending the day at home with Grandpa Mark, Katie was exhausted. She must've played outside the entire day. She did not like some of the things that I had to tell her. I don't remember exactly what made her so mad, but after serving her time on the mat she got up and got busy drawing on her white board. She's slowly learning to express her anger. It made her even more mad when dad and I burst out laughing.

I LOL @ KT's picture & the expression on her face is priceless!!!
good luck getting back to normal at work- it is going to take some time!
Katie has such a quiet way of expressing her anger. As I recall, her mother used to go in her bedroom, shut her door, and scream! (of course, you were 2 yrs old!) Katie could come teach some anger management skills to some of our middle school students. Got to love that little lady! Love, Aunt Sal
