Have you lost a home to a fire? I just did and need advice

We lost our home to a fire Tuesday. It was started when a power strip on our 75 gallon reef tank failed and began an electrical fire. It went up the wall and into the attic, consuming our family room and most of the kitchen. According to when the fire alarm signal went to the alarm company, it started about 10 minutes after I had left the house to go to work. I had walked right past it on my way out and noticed no odors or anything. Several neighbors also called into 911 around the same time. The first responders were only a few minutes away having breakfast at Chick-fil-A, got there and had to call for more trucks. When I got called and got home 20 minutes later there were six fire trucks there. They had one of my pugs out front trying to revive her, but it was too late. We also lost 3 kittens and our 30 year old parrot. Luckily the other pug was either outside already, or had managed to get out the doggy door in time and was in the back yard.

Anyways.....I need your words of wisdom on going through the contents and documenting, etc for insurance.
Advice on restoration efforts for furniture, clothes, keepsakes, etc.
We have State Farm as our insurance and should come out fine financially speaking for the rebuild.
It was a ranch style house built in 1969, and it will be taken down to the studs for rebuilding. We are using the opportunity to redesign the layout to make it a more modern, open concept layout. Thinking of going from four bedrooms to three in order to enlarge the master bedroom and bath. Also to widen doorways and hallways since my husband is disabled and uses a walker and can use extra room so he doesn't continue to bang into everything as he walks around the house! 

The restoration company spent two days packing up things that were nearest and dearest to me. They also took furniture that I felt was worth the efforts to clean up (my formal dining room, antiques, new bedroom set).
My scrapbook room was spared the fire, but did have the ceiling pulled down. Most of my albums were dry but very sooty. A few were damp as well. They took them, as well as all my unscrapped photos to dry them out. Since that room was very damp and had water still dripping into it that first day, I was very adamant about getting the albums out as soon as the fire dept. gave us the ok to enter the house. The restoration crew had not fully arrived on scene yet, but the one representative that was there agreed to help me get them out. I don't think he realized just how many albums I had. I was inside the room and he was outside as I passed them to him through the window. He kept asking me "Is this all?" lol....silly man...I think I passed him around 40 albums! (The big ones!)

So for those of you who have the gone through this:
Is it worth going through closets and having clothes sent to be desmoked? Does it work?
Is it worth going through all my (extensive) crafting closets and documenting all the supplies etc?
I'm talking one big closet full of all my sewing/jewelry making/painting/needlework/and every other craft known to man supplies as well as a scrapbook room with cabinets full of supplies.
How would I begin to estimate the value of everything, let alone remember everything I have in there.
I have an extensive collection of old childrens books and Little Golden Books. They will always smell of smoke, right? Advice on how to just let it all go? or is there an alternative solution?
How will I handle the next 6 to 8 months of living in "not my home"....

I want to go back to work on Monday, but I'm still feeling so overwellmed as I lay here unable to get back to sleep. 
I have a great support team. Even the guy in charge of coordinating the restoration team was impressed with my neighbors and friends. They have all been so helpful. They have taken care of boarding my dog, arranging cremation for the deceased, getting us clothes, makeup, basic necessities, and chocolate! I began working at a very small private school in the neighborhood in August. (150 students enrolled preschool thru 12th grade). The day after the fire the principal came over with gift cards and money that the students and parents had collected to help us. It was over $1500.00! I was blown away!
