Rug-cleaning van sets fire to house

Thursday, March 9, 2006

BY JAMES WASHBURN

OF COPLEY NEWS SERVICE
MASON CITY - A fire originating in a carpet-cleaning van spread to a nearby house about noon Monday, sending one carpet cleaner to the hospital and causing in excess of $100,000 damage to the residence.

Mason City volunteer firefighters were paged to a vehicle fire at 12:01 p.m. at 1100 E. Chestnut St. Fire Chief Kevin Meyer said they spent more than two hours controlling the fire after it spread from the van to the nearby brick ranch.

A crew was cleaning carpets in the basement of the residence when a fire ignited inside the van and jumped to an overhanging house roof, Meyer said.

The flames quickly spread through the eaves and the attic space, causing about half of the roof to collapse, Meyer said.

"It's a total loss," said Sandi Cunningham, who had planned, with her husband, Kevin, to move into the home Tuesday.

"(The van) apparently exploded and caught the overhang on fire," Sandi said.

Coincidentally, Sandi drove past her soon-to-be home just as the fire was spreading from the van to the roof, she said.

"I was surprisingly calm and called 911," she said, adding the fire had already been reported.

Minutes later, after she relayed the news to her husband, "smoke was just rolling out of it," she said.

Meyer said no one was seriously injured during the blaze, but a member of the cleaning crew was taken to a local hospital after a high-pressure hose connected to the van struck him in the abdomen as he attempted to disconnect it.

"It was my husband's family home," Cunningham said of the house. "And his parents had lived there since 1959."

The house was constructed in 1958 and belonged to Kevin Cunningham's late parents, Faye and Bob Cunningham, until his mother's death in December. Her husband died six months earlier.

The Cunninghams plan to rebuild at the same location, Sandi said.

Meyer said 22 of his department's volunteers responded to the call and were joined by about 10 volunteer firefighters from Easton.

birthdays birthdays yay

is it normal for me to be so excited about my baby girls first birthday?
i dont know, but im already planning shit (the theme) and got a date picked, and ive started inviting people. family mostly lol.
andrew wants tamaras first birthday gift from daddy to be a pair of diamond earrings(since its her birthstone). not from us, but from him lol. he figures i wanna get her something fluffy. well i do. i kinda feel left out, but, i spose hes entitled to giving her something just from him. meh, shes gonna get tons of stuff. im almost afraid to buy presents b/c i dont know what others are gonna get for her lol. im sure shes gonna get strawberry shortcake stuff for her room. i know she is. ive told my mom and my grandma (paula) that we really like the SS stuff. whats good things to get for a 1 yr old?

i hope the weather gets nicer soon. tamara is enthralled with the outside and is worse than the cats when it comes to an open door lol. its like vroom, poof, theres tamara at the door tryin to crawl out. and its all rainy and muddy and snowy and icky >.<

i love how she (seems) to love me most. 5 people ina room,(me, andrew, theresa, bessie, tabatha) and tamara crawls to, turns to, reaches for me. i love it. when shes in my arms she'll lay her head on my chest/shoulder. it makes me feel so special i just wanna cry in happiness lol. sometimes she wants other people. she was at andrews gma for a few days(so i could get unstressed) i missed her so bad, but OMG it helped me wind down. and after the first day we had to go visit her b/c she was missing us so bad. she cheered up INSTANTLY once we got there. but shes safe and clean and fed and i needed the break bad, so after a few hours, we went back home. if you ever need a break(and dont feel bad, most people need a break) and you trust whoever is willing to watch you baby for a day or 2, take them up on that offer. you will feel tons better. i feel... rejuvinated. like i just went on vacation. which i spose i kinda did.

mommy friends

i have SERIOUSLY got to get some mommy friends. i have no friends whatsoever right now, all i got is family. and sometimes i just wanna talk. well, friends w/o kids just dont understand just about anything im experiencing now, so i dont realy wanna find some regular friends, but im too big of a chicken shit to find some mommy friends. me and andrew have decided that we need to find some1 with a child tamaras age, currently almost 11 months. so someone with a kid between 9-13 months, that way its really close, lots of similarities. do you know how hard this is? not to mention both me and andrew are jealous people. the only 'safe' people are couples that are satisfied with each other. no chance of any complications between couples lol. and see, if we both meet the parents, then they will be OUR friends, not MINE and not HIS. so no conflicts by taking sides just b/c one person or the other is favored. sorry if its confusing. and then there is tamara. tamara needs other kids to play with, not just her cousins. 18 months and 28 months. tamara and kaylee(18 months cousin) get jealous of each other and scream at each other, which, in a way is absolutely hilarious. i love that my daughter sticks up for herself at less than a year old. but i dont want her to evolve into an obnoxious brat. so she needs companionship from someone other than good ol' mommy. and right now im just not ready/able/capable of bringing another child into this world just so tamara has a buddy lol. accidents happen, and if it happens, ill deal, but that my dear readers, is what the pill is for. among other things. like getting rid of acne, curbing pms, and making those debilitating cramps almost nonexistant. i used to have cramps so bad that id double over in pain(no matter where i was, school, church, grocery shopping) or start crying. sometimes both. and i hate people seeing me cry, i dont know why, its natural, but ive never liked ppl seeing me cry. so i get that wonderful pill, and cramps become, 'oh man, i hate these, they are so uncomfortable', instead of 'OMG OMFG OMFG IM GONNA DIE THESE HURT SO BAD!' lol.
maybe, maybe ill start lookin into going to some mommy group something or other just so tamara can get a 'playdate' or we can get parent friends. maybe. i dont like meeting new ppl all that much and im shy as shit. dont want tamara to go over to some baby and start using him as a stand so she can stand up. or pulling down little susie over there whose already standing up so she can get a better look at susies dress/toy/face. im sorry my daughter is a mean little nuisance, shes just curious. -_- *stare* lol

grrr

Hiccups hiccups go away, dont come back ANY day >.< i have got a serious bad case of the hiccups. and they wont go away. ive tried holding my breath, drinking a glass of water, eating/drinking something sweet, peanut butter, even scaring me doesnt work. i hate hiccups. i kinda liked them when tamara had them in my tummy, it felt so cute. after i got over freaking out that something was wrong with her lol.

munchkin still has the freakin stomach flu. god i wish i could keep her safe from it. but i honestly dont know how she got it. none of us adults here have it, and none of the other family shes been around has it. so im stumped. and i obviously cant keep her couped up in the house all her life. shed hate me forever if i even tried to do that. but i probably wouldnt be able to keep her couped up for long. id need to get out before long lol.

and i cant wait for summer. i already got my shorts and tank tops and capris out and ready to be worn. im wearing a pair now. (capris) a tank top, and a zip up sweater lol. i know, it looks a lil tacky, but :P kiss my ass. its as close as i get to summer now, and no one besides andrew and tamara is gonna see me, so i can dress as ugly, tacky, trashy, sexy, or w/e as i want >:) and you can do nothing about it. muahahahahahahahaha! lol. i know, im in a weird ass mood. munchkin slept from 1030-830 and didnt wake up. i woke up a few times, but she didnt. its amazing. i dont wanna get used to it tho, last time i did she started teething and would wake up every 2 fucking hours. that was hell, get used to baby sleeping all night, and you too, then alla sudden you go to sleeping 2 hr stretches. makes you one cranky frazzled bitch.

i do have a few days free of her for a while tho. shes with grandma for a few days. she offered and i accepted. so i can (hopefully) get the laundry dented and house picked up. maybe even cleaned. it would be amazing. my house hasnt been clean, its been ok, even not bad, but its not been clean since before tamara was born. i just didnt have the energy to do it. part of the job description lol.

umm yea

ok, so YAY!! i got outta the house. the ants in your pants i gotta go pee NOW dance apparently worked lol.
i know, i talk alot, if you knew me in person youd know i can talk about anything and i like to talk... as long as i feel comfortable.
ok, since i just went thru checking all the blogs i read regularly(like prolly once a day... more if im dead ass bored) which there is like... 10-15 of them >.< i know, i have no life. babies it, and i read fast so checking these blogs takes all of.... 5 minutes. psychobitch, aka andrews ex, aka jessica, responded on one of her blogs to my reponse of hers... yea circles in circles in circles. lots of bad feelings between us. she can go as friendly and holy and 'im there if you need me' bullshit as much as she wants. i know how she feels, no matter what bs she spouts. i at least am honest enuf to say if i met her in public i wouldnt have a nice word to say to her. i wouldnt go after her, thats not my way, but i wouldnt be able to smile at her, let alone say stupid shit like i feel sorry for waht andrew did to you and blah blah blah. just shut up already. live your own miserable stupid life, and ill live mine. its what ex friends, and ex spouses and ex w/e ers do. hope you dont have to run into them in public, and forget about them the rest of the time. however, i cant remember all the blog names, so i have to go to hers to check other peoples. its a sad vicious cycle. /sigh. oh,


on a happier note, we have this wonderful place here in peoria. its called Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. of course they have chocolate, all kinds and fudge, again flavored, and white and such. they also have carmel apples. BIG ones. and not plain ol' caremel apples. OH NO. snickers, and cheesecake, and rocky road, and butterfinger, and so on and so forth. im old fashioned tho, i like their double dipped caremel apple. its like 2-4 times the caremel thats normally on them lol. its reallly good shit. plus they cut if for you if you want. so its easy eating. heaven and candy and fruit all in one lol. as a matter of fact, since ive put all the groceries away, i think im gonna go eat some. >:)

cabin fever

ok, im a stay at home mommy. ive been since day 1. i stay at home all day long with the munchkin. go out to eat occasionally, and for grocery shopping. thats about it. however ive done pretty good so far. until today. today, all i want to do since andrew got me up... at 7am, is get out. i wanted breakfast. mcdonalds was what i wanted at the time. andrew said. lets shower, then ill take you out for breakfast.(hinting at IHOP) ihop has this new thing that i have found i REALLY like. stuffed french toast. they put cream cheese inside it and top it with fruit, i do strawberries. its like(for me at least) heaven on earth lol. so we showered. then got sucked into 2 episodes of nash bridges. and im getting more and more antsy. like im doing the gotta go pee dance im so fucking antsy. first time in my life ive ever had cabin fever. i just want the fuck outa this damned house. but andrew wants to come with and theresa is sick, so tamara cant stay. /sigh. so gotta get her ready, and he keeps procastinating. i am one of the worst at it, but damn. his procastinating ass is the worst ive ever seen/met/heard of. maybe, eventually we will get out. otherwise ima start climbing the walls.
