i mop the floors in my house & it rains.

August 7, 2009 · Leave a Comment

This must be some “Native American Rain Dance” equivalent. So should I say “stay at home mom rain dance” of sorts.  It seems like every time I try to mop the WHOLE house at one time it starts pouring down rain.  I must sound crazy by saying that I mop my house in quadrants but I do. I mop the high traffic areas first, then the rest of the house. Not saying that my house is big by any means, it’s  just how I do things. It’s a lot easier when you have one less kid to police around the house when it’s wet. So when Riley plays at his friends house I mop.

That is all.

Snow, the Houston version.

December 10, 2008 · Leave a Comment

This afternoon after Julian & I picked Riley up from school we were off to our normal ritual of “pick up food for dinner” run to the grocery store.

So we get to the local Whole Foods for some shopping fun when I had noticed that it was not raindrops that were now beating the hell of my windshield. No, it was yes in fact snowflakes.

SNOWFLAKES!!!!

I got Riley out of the car and the first thing this child does is opens his mouth to eat it. (of course.) This was very surreal for me, not to mention my kids. Granted it’s not gold enough to stick to the ground but never the less it is “snow” for all intensive purposes.

I am still a bit shocked at the weather today. Tomorrow it’s supposed to be beautiful sunny and 60! I have a few pictures that I will post either on here or on flickr.

So stay tuned.

not really MADNESS, just more of a general annoyance. i am still without internet or cable tv. i am just whiney at this point really. but just to let EVERYONE know that myself, lyall, the kiddos and ellie the dog are all ok. no damage to the house just part of a fence was lost.

i hopefully will get internet soon. thanks for all the phone calls and entertaining text messeges ALL last week!!! :-)
