What a weird day! It is raining, hard, here in SoCal. My pool is about to overflow. The water is seeping into my Master Bedroom, what a mess. The boys are trying to do the Man thing, because Dad is out of town. Jack and Michael were tossing buckets of water into the trees to try to lower the water level outside my door. Jack is laying towels and sopping up mess. Flash flood warnings, everything cancelled, too nasty to go out. It might as well be a blizzard with three feet of snow around here. So tomorrow is a school day. I am wondering if we'll have a delay, or even a cancellation, seriously. We are not prepared for this nonsense out here. Everything floods, roofs leak, cars crash, it's crazy. Well Happy Monday. I hope things get back to normal.
I am swirling in chaos! Our little remodeling projects, ie: painting the boys rooms, have resulted in a whirl of mess, mess, mess. My husband has been diligently painting walls, repurposing furniture, meanwhile all of the clothing, shoes, toys, junk, furniture we are no longer using, etc... is lining the hallways and rooms of my house! We have tried to engage the boys in this project, but it has somehow eluded them that they have any responsibility for putting the house back together, so it it a painful exercise of command and whine. Today, we must put it back, we cannot start the week in madness. So my day, is going to be interesting. They need to help, a lot. I need to figure out how to motivate them to help, without them feeling like they are being tortured. Wish me luck, at 10:30, video games, and NFL TV go off, and cleaning commences. I'd better have another cup of coffee, and pray for the next half hour, I'm gonna need it.
