Rain Rain Go Away

It’s raining, it’s pouring, and no the old man is not snoring. The old man of the house has left the building to spend the day at the library… I know, gasp and catch your breath, there are times that he does do this! Granted he can usually read something once and have it memorized… He does have a flight plan to do and a text to study for.

He should be finishing up this portion of BWS by next week! Then he’s off to nights for a month. And who knows, we might actually make it out of here before the start of the next school year!!

Well he is not the topic of my blog today. The rain is. It has been raining all weekend. I am not a fan of the rain. Henry is not a fan of the thunder. Zoey our Chesapeake bay retriever also does not like the thunder. She is sitting on top of my feet, shaking. This 70lb dog looks so petrified!

All systems down…. We have lost power! Glad that the battery in the laptop is fully charged, we have three hours of life on this thing we better make it use full.

The children are running around the house looking for flashlights and candles. It’s still daylight outside so it’s not pitch black in here…. Sometimes I wonder about them… <shaking my head> Henry is now using the flashlight to torture the already petrified dog…. She just can’t control herself he has to attack the light.  He is finding it all too amusing to watch her jump up and try to eat the wall…. Although I better intervene as she has already ate threw drywall in previous attempts to catch the light….

Okay, the flashlight is now in my possession and he is not happy about this…

Jessie and Tyler ask if they can go play in the rain…. I tell them no because it is thundering, and where there is thunder there is lighting….. She precedes to debate with me the odds of getting struck by lightning…. Yes she is a smart child. She is just sometimes is a clueless child….

Tyler decided to play his DS, Henry now to wants his DS…. They are fighting… Yes my 13yrd fights with my 2yrd… Jessie puts a stop to it though, by doing what many big sisters and mothers alike would do “it’s mine now”

I am going to escape and hide out with Ella in my room and hope that the power returns quickly, as I don’t know how much of the children bickering I can take… Maybe I should let them go play in the rain…..
