Fun times at 3:15am

Enter lightening and thunder.

Our poodle fiddles with the decorative ghost with bells on it. She needs to go out.

She's shivering and shaking due to the storm.

I pick her up and head downstairs. She manages to pee on me and the floor. Fantastic I put her down and she goes and hides in the laundry room closet. I clean up the mess and she's now in hiding. She does that. She's a scardy-catdog.

I head upstairs to change and put my clothes in the wash.

I knock the glass coffee table on the way up. That wakes our 3 month old Goldendoodle. Clothes are changed and laundry started. I tell my mom I'll take Ember.

She tells me to "lay down and she'll probably go back to sleep." HA, HA, HA-not today! We, then, play for an hour. Ember finally falls asleep after listening to the rain for an hour. She did not like the hail.

She's snoozing on the couch and I can't fall asleep. I fiddle with my phone, read my news apps, and sit in the recliner.

Ember stirs a bit but I try to be as quiet as a mouse. My brother comes down around 6:15 and snuggled with Ember. I exit to put up laundry.

He leaves around 7 and she's mine again. We play, go outside, dry off with a towel, and fold others' laundry. Dad exits and takes the last of the coffee. I've only had 3 cups so I make a bit more.

Mom leaves for a bit. So, Ember and I play a bit more. She lays down around 9am for her morning nap.

Me? I haven't slept since 3:15am and Ember is now napping. It's 9am. It's going to be a LONG day!

How's your day going?

Oh Mr. Sun

In collegetown...it has been raining since Thursday...most of the day, all day & night long!!! Oh Mr. Sun...where are you??? The rain is nice but the dark clouds gotta go soon!

Fantastic Friday

Today is a fantastic Friday. Why do you ask? I got accepted into the School of Education on Thursday!!! Yes, I am VERY excited and thrilled!!!

As for other news, my grandparents were evacuated late last night to DFW. My dad went and got them and took them to our house. Now my home in DFW is full. There are three kids from Scotland there (sister went this summer and now they came), my sister's friend who is staying with us for a few days while her mom is at a funeral, and the rest of my family. Mom asked if I could come home this weekend and there is no possible way! Then she just said to call her a few times! I agreed!!!

As for rain here, we are getting a break today, but then Saturday through next week it is back again. Ike is coming full force and looks like it will hit Houston. Keep the people that are in its path in your thoughts and prayers.

Hope you all enjoy your weekend and have a relaxing one at that. I know I need one, but I have LOTS to do, so all I can do is try.

Have a great Friday!!!

Just around the corner...

I think Fall may be just around the corner here. Today's high is 73 but it still is about 95% humidity though. I will take what I can get. I am SO READY for fall to be here though. The leaves falling and the nights getting cooler and cooler.

Yes the weather is predicting 80s the rest of the week, but RAIN is in the forecast for the WHOLE week too. I love the RAIN. It may flood everywhere, but I LOVE it.

To Mr. Rain:
You are so welcome today
You make things bright
You cool down the day
You bring the earth its food
You warm my heart
Even though I get soaked
Bring it on Mr. Rain

Have a great Tuesday!!!

3rd week already?

Apparently it is my third week of college this week. Where did the time go? Most of my classes are going well right now except for one. One professor is just not teaching and it is driving me a little crazy. So I talked to my advisor and I am getting someone else's notes from last year (different prof). I am hoping that this helps.

This will NOT get me down. Today it rained and rained!!! I love watching what God has in store for this world and the rain was awesome. The only thing that is not awesome is the MASSIVE flooding, but everything else is okay. Maybe some of West Texas will be green during winter. Hey, just a thought!!

This week seems to be more than usual jam packed, but I will get through it. Why is it so jam packed? I just have more meetings this week than normal. So it is not that bad, just bumpy!!!

Have a great night!!!!

Crazy Texas weather

For the past couple of days, it has rained in Texas. Why is this so crazy? Texas usually does not get rain in the late summer or early fall. It has been nice that the sun is not blaring, but the 100% humidity could go away. The rain is great for everything around us and I so love the sound of it hitting the windows. The temperature is also not at 100 degrees and that is Oh so nice!

I love the rain and it is welcome for as long as it wants!!!

Have a great evening!!!

No news..which is hard for me

As far as I know right now, I do not know my test grade from Monday. Today, I have another test at 9am. Not looking forward to it, but as soon as it is over a huge weight will be lifted. I usually do not handle no news well, but I am surprised that I am not as anxious as I could be.

THANK YOU for all your prayers.

The one thing I am not looking forward to is the drive there. There is a major storm system moving in and I will probably have rain the entire way. I am fine with driving in the rain, but storms kind of throw me in for a loop. Oh well!! I am leaving with plenty of time to spare just in case!!!

THANK GOODNESS IT'S FRIDAY!!!
