Rain! Rain! Go Away!

We’ve had a lot of rain in the past week.  It is still raining this morning.  Fields are now lakes. 

And, more importantly – it really messes with my hair.

TGIF!  – Go Hogs! Beat Auburn!

The Calm Before The Storm!

Storm approaching my house this morning.

I’m sitting in my home office watching a big, black cloud approach from the west.  The wind just picked up and it is about to storm.  Big Time!  I hope my cake finishes cooking before any power outages (if any).  I’m also marinating the brisket and washing a second load of clothes.   The storm I speak of is the storm of fast and furious cleaning that will take place today.  Don’t get me wrong.  The storm outside is beginning to look pretty intense, but it will pass quickly.  The storm inside my house will last all day. 

You see.  My parents will be here around 5:00 pm.  I’ll also have a house full of guests for lunch tomorrow following Emily’s graduation ceremony.  And, this is how things go for me.  I swear – anytime I make plans, God laughs and says “Oh yeah!”   (I feel like the ‘Whack a Mole’ game at Chuckee Cheese.)   I can’t complain too much because the weather did cooperate yesterday just long enough to get the grass mowed and the yard looks much, MUCH better.  (It is raining now.)  I’m hoping I can accomplish the ‘LIST’ of chores I’ve outlined for myself today.  My sweet daughter is coming over to help me later.  I just wish I could find a way to be more relaxed about having guests.   (Thought bubble: ‘Maybe a margarita will help.’)

What about you.  Are you a relaxed hostess or a ‘Deer in the Headlights’ hostess?  Me?  Deer.  Big Deer.  BIG DEER CHASE ME!  (except in the movie it was a bear. Name that movie.)

I’m off to clean.  Y’all have a good Friday.  I’ll post pictures of the festivities sometime over the weekend.   After my guests are gone and I’ve recovered.

See ya! 

Thursday Thoughts!

1.  My head hurts.  I’m blaming the rain.
2.  My hair is ugly.  I’m blaming the rain.
3.  My grass is overgrown.  I’m blaming the rain.
4.  My dogs stink.  I’m blaming the rain.
5.  My floors are a mess.  I’m blaming the rain.
6.  My car is filthy.  I’m blaming the rain.

The sun is shining today.  I’m at work.  Weather channel predicting more rain for this evening and all weekend.  I’m hosting a graduation lunch/party celebration on Saturday for my daughter and it is suppose to rain.  I need to go home and mow the grass so my yard won’t be ugly.  But, I can’t.  And it will rain again.  And, my hair will still be ugly. 

Anyone sick of the rain?  Anyone?  Tap. Tap.  Anyone? 

I think the rain washed away the Internet.

Back tomorrow …………
