Stefan stopped by the house after work, and the builders were still at work laying tar paper. The roof is totally on now, and they finished just in time for a downpour. We had quite the thunderstorm tonight, but far away so mostly just lightning and not the thunder. Haylie was exhausted and crying tonight so she went to bed early. It must have been a long day at daycare. Yesterday she came home and told me that she had a substitute English teacher named Alan. I asked if he talked more like her teacher Meg who is Australian, or more like Mom. More like Mom, she said, except different. I got the explanation for that from one of the other teachers this morning. He is from Canada. Hope she doesn't start talking like in the movie Strange Brew now.

It could be worse though.
