And the rain, rain, rain came down, down, down

The stormy day ended up flooding our neighborhood. Mike went to go pick up his sister and called me to tell me the car was flooded out in the Lowe's parking lot. They had to wait about an hour before it was dry enough to start and even then they couldn't make it home. So my car is parked a few streets away at a friend's house and they had to walk home through waist deep water. I went out to see what our street looked like and it was pretty bad. Water was half way up my driveway and into my neighbors' garages. My mother in laws van had water up to the doors and Mike's car was almost under water too. My neighbor drove his huge truck through and even it barely made it. So I have a full house of people and almost no groceries because today was going to be grocery day. Such is life I suppose.


Rainy Saturday

So much for a productive Saturday. It is raining like crazy! Mona and Collen came over so Mike could work on Megan's computer. Then our plan is to go clean out our closet while the computer loads and Kaelin is playing with "Marger" and Caween". We both have so many clothes that we don't wear anymore and we're out of closet space. It is impossible to put laundry away when there is nowhere for it to go. Plus I feel the need to declutter all parts of our house. BIG TIME. I'm planning on starting with our clothes, then Kaelin's clothes, then her toys (gulp), then the kitchen cabinets. I figure I'll eventually get through my sewing room and the laundry room too. Then the rest is Mike's territory.

We are supposed to go over to my sister in laws house tonight for a combo birthday and graduation party. But, ummm, yeah. I'm not looking forward to going anywhere in the down pour. *sigh* I guess I should go fold some laundry now.
