Gremlins

This past weekend has been hectic to say the very least.  The house appears to have been hit by lightning on Friday.  We came home from work to a list of blown electronics.  The list includes:  two garage door openers, two televisions, two DVD players, the alarm system, the irrigation system, a wireless router, network card on the desktop, an ipod docking station, our stereo receiver that controls the whole house audio system, three phones, an answering machine, one ground fault protected electrical outlet, a cable box and of all things a control box to our electric recliner motors on the couch in the basement. 

Needless to say, talking to insurance agents is not one of my favorite things nor is scheduling repairs.  I also have an electrician coming to the house today to check out the system and to make sure there aren't any other issues that will cause me problems down the road. 

Lisa did however manage to have 4 of Katie's friends over for a couple of house to play.  I did manage to make myself scarce for all but about 10 minutes.  The girls all seemed to have had a great time.
