Woke up this morning and thought it was a little dark outside and that maybe something was wrong with my alarm. I decided to ignore it and just get in the shower. Got out, got the girls dressed, everyone's hair brushed, teeth, shoes.... then I heard this noise. This loud booming noise. Now, for those of you who haven't been here since the very beginning, I live next door to a diesel mechanic's shop. So, I am used to loud noises at 5am. I ignored the first one, but the second one was definitely thunder. Thunder? In August? Hmmmmm.
Now, for those of you who don't know me, I don't watch the news. I don't watch the weather, I never have any fucking idea what the temperature will be tomorrow. Seeing as how I live smack dab in the middle of Texas, I can usually assume it will be hot. Other days it will be humid and hot, and some days it will be so fucking hot you will wish you didn't have to wear clothes. That's pretty much our temperature gauge here. Humid, Hot, and Fucking Hot. And any combination of the three.
So, imagine my surprise when I suddenly hear rain. Not just rain, mind you, but the rain that pounds your roof and makes you wonder if it is even safe to go outside. I went to the window to make sure I wasn't hallucinating and the trees are blowing like crazy. I told the girls to change out of their flip flops and into tennis shoes. Then we stalled. Trying to wait for a break in the fucking hurricane going on outside so we could get into the car without being drenched. One never came. Finally I told the girls I would go pull the car up real close to the door and they would have to just hurry. Parked four feet from my front door, trying to hold the umbrella over my daughters while they jumped from step to seat, I got soaked.
It's raining. A lot.
Had my cell phone turned off a few days ago. Had a lot to do with Ruthie and I going something like 500 minutes over our shared plan. Yeah. I know. Ouch. Anyway, I new it would be off Monday and Tuesday because my check doesn't hit the bank until Wednesday. So today I am having it turned back on and I have to admit that I am kind of bummed. I had forgotten how nice it is to not have to answer your phone every where. I went shopping without it ringing, I got to listen to the radio on my way home without that really great song getting interrupted when my cell started vibrating. I was out of the loop. Even at home, I didn't have to answer my home phone because no one knew if I was there. It was liberating. But impractical. So, paid it this morning and by lunch I should be back in the loop for those of you who have been waiting to call me :)
Ok, going to go work now.

"I just got done reading the history lessons on your blog (yes, I've been lurking on your blog). All the respect I had for you...has increased, like, tenfold. I don't think I could have done it. To go through what you have and not only still be able to discuss it with such wit and poise, but also to raise those three gorgeous girls. You are truly an inspiration. You are honestly one of the strongest people I have ever known, either online or IRL. Thank you so much." -Stef
