My Neck of the Woods

I don't know about your neck of the woods but my woods are muddy and my neck is wet from ALL THE RAIN!!!!!!!!! We have had so much rain this spring. Our basement is holding water and the basement is partially finished but thank goodness it's in the unfinished part that the water is coming in. My mom calls me this afternoon and she lives in a very nice garden apt. and they have never had water in the building since it was built but guess what??? She has water in her apt. and we had to move furniture and the landlord is there as I type this trying to wet vac it up. Our area has been hit with so much rain the ground can't handle anymore. I know God promised He would never flood the earth again and I'm believing in that promise!

Kota has had two baseball games canceled this week so he has a make up game tomorrow afternoon. I don't think the field will be dry enough for him to play but we'll have to wait and see. This was my last full week of school. Monday and Tuesday are working days for my students then Wed. we will go to City Park and have a picnic and play day. Thursday is graduation practice and we dismiss at 11:00 am. I can't believe Kota is almost done with fourth grade. Jordan graduates from eighth grade on June 2nd and then he's on to high school. How can my first born possibly be going in to high school?? Where has the time gone?? I ask these questions and in reality time just keeps marching on. I get a year older and so do the boys. I am trying to savor these days with them but with Jordan being in full blown teenage mode there are days when I would like to drop kick him as far as I can. I'll tell ya what.....when he turned 12 it was like I had a totally different kid on my hands. And it's only grown from there in the last two years. He always has so many plans............never answers his phone......never texts me back and it drives me CRAZY!!! But he's sure to call if he needs a RIDE OR MONEY!!! Teenagers!!!

I guess I should mention that I have a neurotic dog as well! Sunny is scared to death of storms. There isn't enough benadryl in the world to calm her down. The poor thing.....she shakes so bad and pants up a storm when it thunders. I can't have her on the bed when she's like that because the whole bed shakes and we can't sleep. So where did she go the other night during the storm you might ask?! To Jordan's room of course! She must have really been desperate to go to his room cause he gives her the least amount of attention. She was under his bed and in his bed shake, rattle and rollin all night! Guess she's pretty smart after to all to torture him with no sleep and let the rest of us have a peaceful night! At least I trained one of them right! Here's to hoping sunny days are just around the corner!
