Fabulous Friday =)




What Your Back to School Personality Says About You



You are fairly driven, but the big win always seems a bit beyond your reach. You lack intense passion.



You are most likely to succeed if you are working with other talented people. You thrive on a team.



Your greatest skill is your intense focus. You are able to ignore distractions and do what needs to be done.



Your biggest stumbling block in life is your lack of self confidence. You are a lot more capable than you give yourself credit for.



The number one thing you're thankful for is your friends and family.



For the most part the above is true...

Mother Nature (Hurricane Faye), What happened to my 6 hours?

Some of you may know, most of you may not. I lost my 6 hours of semi-peace and quiet WED.!!!! What a sad, sad day =( The day started like this....

I awake at approx. 3a.m. to the crackle of thunder and some bright flashing lights. I hear rain, a VERY HARD RAIN. I look out the window and the rain is coming down in SHEETS!! It had been raining pretty much all day into the night.

I turn the t.v. on and we are having a major rain and under a tornado watch. I turn the t.v. back off and fall asleep to be awoken again at 6a.m. to the sound of the phone. I answer it and it is our school superintendent, letting us know school will be delayed 2hours due to the rain and FLOODING!!! I get up and turn off the boys alarm clock and skipped mine up a couple hours~ yeah sleep!!!

Anyways, I sense someone over my bed and there is #2, 3rd day of school and he has a built in alarm clock already, saying Mommy it is 7:05a.m. Worried like I have overslept and so has he. I said it is ok go back to bed you are on a 2hr delay. He said ok. Just as I closed my eyes, thinking I am going to get a little more sleep the phone rang at 7:10a.m. The voice of that darn superintendent again.... Due to major flooding in our area school will be closed today, yadda yadda. I really didn't hear what he had to say after that because I went into crisis mode~ MY KIDS ARE HOME ALL DAY ALREADY!!!!! HELP!!!!!

Then #2 makes his way into my room AGAIN, as if to rub salt into an open wound, Mommy school is cancelled today, I just rolled over and in a disgusted voice told him I knew, and tried to fall back asleep, tried to sleep my day away however my kids would have NONE of that! I was up at 8am, not to bad and the chaos already had started!!!

Now I know we needed rain , however we didn't need this much rain,dearest Mother Nature, Hurricane Faye or whomever is taking responsibility!

That article link above is the county we live in. Right near #1's Middle school was where a lot of flooding happened among many other places. Our home and development is fine, no damage in here to report just the culverts are FULL.
