The stockings were hung by the chimney with care...2 days before Christmas!

So, we had an interesting afternoon. I was having a nice conversation on the phone with Rebecca when all of a sudden there was a loud crash and parts of the ceiling came down where I was in the living room. We looked out the window and a truck was right on our front porch. Unbelievable! The boyfriend was teaching his girlfriend to drive his grandpa's truck that he had taken without asking. She apparently lost control and ended up in our house!911!!! The police, fire dept.,city building inspectors, parents of the drivers were there screaming at the kids,Channel 5 news crew, friends, neighbors, and strangers came for a looksie-very exciting afternoon! Fortunately, there were no injuries. Elyse and friends had just been playing in the front yard-less than ten minutes before the accident. Just when I think life can't get worse...it gets worse! We decide to laugh instead of cry! But we count our blessings that no one was hurt-we are safe and healthy with just a mere broken house ! Merry Christmas! We're hoping for a better 2009!!!
