A little rain

Well, a little seems to be all that we will get for now. The area is 10 inches below normal, and the MAYBE 1/4" we got this morning will help, but only for the day. I really wish it would just rain slowly for about a month at this point. If it just drizzled, then we wouldn't flood, and the ground would look nice and green again instead of brown and crunchy.

Tori is on her way back to Wales. She called Sunday and had been doing her homestay, which wasn't exactly like we had been told, but then was traveling to Dublin and staying there Monday night and then they would start making their way back to London. She sounds so tired on the phone, and will probably sleep the whole trip home (hopefully) and be ready to start back into the routine here.

Mom had me cancel her appt in Nashville today, she said her knee wouldn't hold up for the trip down there, and I know that it is bothering her really bad. The heat is awful, and we would just have a worse day anyway. I hope that she will at least call the ortho dr and see if she can get in earlier than the 28th. She won't be walking by then.

Will and I had a great day yesterday. We went and seen a movie (Mr. Brooks) which is something we rarely get to do without the kids, then he dropped me off at the LSS so I could take advantage of their sidewalk sale and then we went to Lowes and the Mall to wander til it was closer to dinner and we were hungrier. We went to Tumbleweeds for dinner, we should have gone to Puerto's or somewhere else. Not great or even good is an understatement.

Today is catchup day for me, laundry, clean up, email, blogging, reading blogs, etc. It is too hot and muggy to be outside for long, and I am trying to keep from sleeping the day away. I really would like to though!
