Rain, Rain, and MORE RAIN! 'STOOOOP!"

It has rained and rained and rained for more than 3, yes, THREE weeks! I know that in July when it's really hot and dry, I will look back at these days and wonder why I wanted it to stop raining,.....but this is ENOUGH! We have had more than 7 inches of rain in MAY and it's only May 10!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL...Funny how Mother's Day works...On Mother's Day, it is expected that moms have a break from the kids, the house, the shopping, and work..but it's odd that on Father's Day, he GETS to spend the day with the kids!!!! I think a mother thought up that idea! Aren't we smart? Both on mother's day AND father's day, moms get a break!!! wooohooo!!!!
Most memorable Mother's Day was spent at my best friend's house, Lu. As usual, we spent Mother's Day together because we both had 2 kids and were both single. Sooo, on this particular Sunday, we drove to her house (she lives about 10 miles out in the country) to have dinner. For some reason (I don't remember what we fixed) but we used her electric toaster. Bad mistake. It sparked and smoked from the outlet. Welllll....we decided to be on the safe side and call the (volunteer) fire department just in case that spark had ignited something in the wall that we couldn't see...it wasn't worth the risk that a fire had started in the wall without our knowledge and we would have a full blown issue on our hands. Sooo, Lu put in the call to the (volunteer) fire dept. and we waited, and waited, and waited for them to arrive... They got there, but barely! Lu's house is situated on a curve and the big fire truck had ALOT of trouble manipulating that curve to get IN her driveway!!! It was a FALSE alarm, as there was no fire in the wall...sure the guys were happy about leaving their mother's day gatherings to come "see if there was a fire"...but better safe than sorry...we have laughed about that mother's day for years!!! It will go down in our history as being the funniest Mother's Day on record!
SOOOOOO, HERE'S TO MY MOM AND ALL YOU OTHER MOMS OUT THERE THAT ARE THE GLUE THAT KEEPS THE FAMILY TOGETHER...HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
