Our weekend of adventure-I need my Flubbers!!!



I really do think this was the weekend for praying a Whole LOT and wearing flubbers (rain gear). Saturday I left to pick up our Bountiful Baskets besides the truck being about 1 hr late I would of been home before the nightmare began. Any ways after loading up and taking off we were about 20 min from home when KABOOM thunder and then the skies opened up. It was so bad that occasionally I couldn't see the road and then we hydro plane and many of the roads was flooded.  Oh I tell you with a vice grip on the steering wheel and loads of prayer that drive was nerve wrecking.  The good thing is we did miss the hail. The above is pictures when I arrived home and yes I was literally kissing the ground saying Oh thank goodness I am home.

Sunday we had to head to St. Francis about a 4hr drive for a graduation. On the way down it started to rain and then the tire lights went off. You guessed it we had a leaky tire and made it to my sisters house before it went totally flat. So after leaving the kids with her husband, we took off in her vehicle the rest of the way down.  At the graduation I tell you I didn't move very much once I was seated and I was praying Lord please don't let me make a big fool of myself. The reason the chair I sat in was from a one room schoolhouse that used to have a desk attached to it and oh my did it wobbly and the slivers in my butt, I am still picking those things out. I was never so happy to bee line out of that stadium and away from those chairs.


Monday was another fun day, morning was great and then it happened. The first of 8 glasses of water that I knocked over through out the house at least part of the carpet got cleaned.  Later in the afternoon I was heading towards the kitchen when I heard water running, picking up speed and realizing that it maybe the faucet in the bathroom running, yes it is a issue to turn off. When I arrived in the kitchen I was met with 1 to 2in of water coming out of the bathroom. So nice the bathroom sink decided it was the day to clog up and yes we did have some yucky stuff come up in the sink.  Needless to say we got all but one piece of plumbing fixed and I have the cleanest bathroom there is.  Now that is solved I can now turn my attention to my other problem that happened last night. My daughter lenses in her glasses came out, we think somewhere in the house.  I do think this week will be little to no sleep until I can get caught up.
