No Daddio

In the wee hours of the night all flights were in deed canceled (well delayed till the am), and when Daddio arrived back in this state he had a stack of work and meetings at the office. :-(.

Other than that all is back to normal around here. Things are drying off, the boys are back in normal form, and life continues.

Ter-nader

Well, we weathered a pretty rough patch here... I actually got the boys out of bed at 9:00 and had them huddled under one of their mattresses in my closet. They thought it was a fun game, thankfully with help from Mother Mary and my guardian angel, I was able to maintain a fun exterior as we waited... listening to the TV weather when it was on (satellite during bad weather not always the best source of information). I was able to talk with Daddio via cell phone once with the boys, and maintained contact with email (he is still in the airport in Arkansas, where all of our storms ended up going), which helped.

Now the boys are back in bed, I'm relaxing, and Daddio will hopefully be home sometime in the middle of the night.

Did I mention that at the height of it the radar/meterologist showed 4 different rotations... eek gads...

Stupid Rain *updated*

Because of the crummy weather, Daddio's flight home today has been CANCELED... I'm so mad I could just spit nails.

I do believe I will be throwing myself a little pitty party this evening. :-(

Enough whining for me... must figure something out for dinner.... without Daddio... I was totally counting on having a late and tasty meal with him...

Seriously no more whining, must attend to children.

*Update: The ticket/airport people... or whom ever, found a flight for Daddio for tonight! YIPPEEEEE!!!!If you could see me... you would see an all out happy dance!

Snookie's morning

Today has not been so great.

He has done nothing but cry all day long. You might be asking yourself 'why is this sweet little child crying?' Well, I will give you a run down of events that led to him crying:

1. Time for breakfast
2. Homeschool
3. Mommy reading a book as part of homeschooling
4. The book was finished
5. Gun holster wouldn't stay on
6. Gun problems
7. Gun problems
8. Gun problems
9. Mommy tired of fussing so at 11:45 put him at table to wait for lunch
10. Bun broke
11. Bun still broken
12. Bun is evil and broken and won't repair itself
13. Realized the boys had pretzels and he didn't
14. Impending nap time
15. Impending nap time
16. Mommy telling him that Daddy was going to be notified of previous events of morning
17. Daddy will know
18. Walking to nap time
19. Cause it is nap time
20. On floor crying because of nap time

That just covers the hours leading up to nap time... argggggghhhh

Rain... rain... more rain

That is our day... lots and lots of rain.

Our yard is flooded, so are the streets, so we've stayed inside only venturing out on to the front covered patio to watch the storms.

Thankfully Daddio has done a great job with the boys helping them get over their fear of storms (too bad it hasn't worked that well on me), so we are able to go out and watch it without crying.

San Jacinto

We made a whirlwind trip to San Jacinto and then home again, to celebrate the battle that led to our independence.

The boys had a great time, and so did we!
