Thunder ...

I woke up this morning to the roar of thunder. I knew we had left the lid open on the coffin and I did not want water in it. So I jumped up out of bed and headed down to the pool. I shut the coffin lid and folded up the moving blanket that was set out to dry. I headed up the hill towards the house and could hear the rustling sound in the woods behind me getting louder and louder. It was a kind of scary noise. I knew it was just the rain coming right behind me. As soon as I hit the sidewalk, the rain cut loose. I could see the lighting reflecting in the table on the deck and knew it was close, but not that close. I was so happy I did not have to water. But that was short lived. The rain lasted about 5 minutes and was only .02 of an inch. Beth slept through it all. So I had some breakfast and about that time Beth got up. I changed and went outside to water. Beth had breakfast and took a shower. She then left to go get gas in the car. We noticed last night coming home the car was cutting out a lot, but we thought it was just low on gas that might have been bad. But Beth said it was even worst after getting new gas. So it is parked in the garage and will go in Thursday for service. So now we had to get the Jeep back from Kim, so we could take it to the airport. So we had some lunch and the Jeep was back home. We left to go pick up Amanda and head to the airport. Coming home the traffic was starting to back up, but we were able to take a couple of short cuts and avoid some of it. After dinner we had to run to CVS and then stopped at the mall. Now it is time for bed. We have kids everyday for the next 6 days. Kyle is here tomorrow and Wednesday. Jojo is her 1/2 day Thursday, and Rylee will be here Friday to Sunday including nights. It should be a fun week.
