ending our Faycation

Our Fay-cation is over, so it's back to school and work today. We made it through the weekend without any further unwanted events and enjoyed time some quality time with the boys (who like it when it rains because they get to have a sleepover in Mama's room!). But today the rain continues and there were over 100 road closing this morning. It took Jay close to two hours to drop the kids off at school and get to work due to all the detours. Seriously, I don't know how much more rain we can get! Thanks to all of you Weather Channel watchers for your calls of concern. We are doing fine. Just a little sick and tired of staying inside. The kids are itching to go for a bike ride and we spent the remainder of the weekend cleaning all those places that never get cleaned (our toaster oven looks brand new again). I also retired two laundry baskets of toys out of the kids room, thereby reducing clutter and increasing the possibility of maintaining my sanity for another day or two (too many messes makes Mommy bitchy). The boys still have yet to notice any of the missing toys. We are keeping an eye on the Ochlockonee river flooding which runs a little too close for comfort behind our house as well as Gustav out in the Caribbean.

This is what our radar looks like today...


This time we're right on the eastern portion of the red box. Fay has actually taken a slightly eastern turn after moving west over us during the weekend.

Wow - you guys sure have had tons of rain. Maybe living in the desert isn't so bad after all! No humidity and not much rain to deal with, just heat that eventually does go away. And there truly is a difference between wet and dry heat!
hugs and love
