Right now, we have...
-Bowls and buckets holding several inches of water that leaked through our porch roof last night
-Water covering 3/4 of the floor in our basement
-A kitchen table covered with all the stuff that was in the porch
-Two kids who are so exhausted from getting up early to go to Safety City, all they want to do today is watch movies (I can't say that I blame them...it's still rainy and yucky outside).
I'm about ready to pack up the motorhome and take off for a few weeks and forget that we even own a home! You can't have a leaky basement in an RV! LOL
On a more positive note, yesterday was our 14th anniversary. We went out to dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, Carraba's. I had some yummy ravioli, Rob got canelloni and we shared a bottle of wine. Mmmmm! Afterward we tried to go to the bookstore, but it was storming and the tornado sirens were going off. Apparently a funnel cloud had been spotted in the south end of Toledo (S. Byrne and Hill, for those of you who know Toledo). When we got to the bookstore (in Monclova), they were closed due to the storm. I've never heard of this! They offered to let us come in and stay in their break room, but we decided to just get back in the car and go get the kids, who were staying at Rob's brother's house nearby. Sigh. At least it will be a memorable day!
Tomorrow we are planning to go to our neighborhood's little July 4th celebration. It's so cute...great for kids. There is a bike parade, a clown, jazz band, face painting, games, snacks and the fire fighters bring the truck so the kids can sit in the driver's seat. We invited some friends to come along too, so it should be a good time.
Happy birthday to the USA...wishing all my friends in digi land a safe and happy holiday!
