When your husband works from home...

I came home yesterday around 1 pm from running a couple of errands. I drove through our neighborhood without any trouble- the duck pond was high, but nothing unusual after 3 days of constant rain. After I got home we pretty much stayed huddled in the house for the next 6 hours and watched the rain. We had a nice size puddle in our back yard at the edge of the woods, but nothing major. Around 7:30 I decided I needed to try and head out to a party to take a friend her present. I got Jeebs to drive me because he loves me :) and we headed out. As we took the first right out we drove through a huge lake in the road which was a little freaky and I had the feeling we should turn around, but I really wanted to make it downtown. As we made the next left to go up out of our neighborhood we saw flashing lights and what looked like a road blocked. After heading up closer and going through yet another lake and a river in the road we were signaled to turn around. Wow. We turned around and tried to cut through another little street- blocked and yet another pond in the road. We headed back to try the last out and yes you guessed it- blocked ( and another lake in the road). We drove back home and rounded our duck pond. If you look at the pic (that was taken this morning) - the water was up so high you could only see the tops of those cement benches on the right. I guess when your husband works from home and you're busy watching Harry Potter, drastic things can happen.




Ezra has become a toilet diver- yuck and double yuck. He is so funny when I get the camera out he always gives me this cheesy grin. I wish I had his eyelashes- or really any of my kids' eyelashes- they all lucked out and didn't get mine.




And this is Taylor's artwork from school. She wanted Grandma to see it- if she would ever read my blog :) j/k MA!
