It wasn't too bad this morning when i woke up...but oh my how it did change. Went to church this morning and the sky was blue. Sitting in church during the service...it started to POUR and you could hear it on the roof of the church. We had to stand and wait for the rain to let up so we could get to our cars....which it didn't do and so we got a bit wet (well i did..Amanda had one of the boys run out to her car and bring it up under the awning at the front door of the church. Couldn't hardly see driving down the road. Hit some water running over the road (thank goodness it was only a small amount) and my heart leaped into my throat. So i slowed down even more and good thing cuz more water was starting over the road as i got a little closer to 71 hwy. Slowed down a whole lot and got over to the side of the road that was a little higher than the other so i could get through the water. Amanda is following me. Get to Harrisonville and get off at the 2 hwy exit. I figured that the underpass below my trailer court would be flooded so i went around. Good thing cuz it was and the road was closed off. Got home safely but a bit rattled. It was Amanda's birthday so she wanted to go to Lees Summit for lunch and some shopping. We were rethinking this event but the rain let off for a while.....that is till we decided to go ahead and go. Mel met us at Lees Summit but got there before we did. I hate driving in a downpour of which it did when we left to go naturally. AND 291 is not a fun road to drive when it is dry let alone a deluge of a downpour. I had a white knuckle grip on my steering wheel for sure. The rain did let up a bit when we got almost to Lees Summit. Then started pouring again when we got ready to get out to go into Chilis for lunch. We had a good lunch...good food...then we went to Bath and Body and Lane Bryant. Was going to do a bit more shopping but Amanda had to get back and pick up Marys kids at their grandmas by 4 so we left Mel to her shopping at Target and came home. It rained off and on all day and night....sheesh. AND it's supposed to do this crap all week.
And to top it all off....this weather is reaking havoc on my arthritis.
Will the sun ever shine again? Will these FREAKING ANTS ever go back outside????
And again...HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMANDA!!!!

thanks! and thanks again for lunch! :-)
Sounds like you had fun regardless of the rain!
And trust me when I say I want it to go away more than anyone, at least for a few weeks...they werw supposed to come and start on our yard today! Guess that won't happen for awhile now...*sigh*
I'm tired of the rain too! We can only hope it gets all done by next weekend and that it doesn't get steamy hot for the picnic day.
Sorry about your yard Jen. Stuff happens!
