And then came the rain............

Well, it has finally happened the rain has finally come and boy has it set in for the weekend - same thing happened last Easter and it was earlier in the year.



I love the rain when it starts, the way it makes everything nice and new looking. The water shinning off leaves and grass and making the air smell as though only newness can happen. I love the rain when it continues for a few hours. Snuggling under a blanket, reading or just watching TV. I love the idea that nothing exists outside, or at least in your own mind.



The only problem is when the rain doesn't stop. When the it continues and continues and you know that there is going to be no letting up. Its a little scary, especially where I live. The causeways fill up with water and the water covers the road in places that are normally dry. But as they keep filling up then you start to wonder, am I going to be stuck at home for longer than planned. Will my food supply keep me until I can get out?????



But does this not allow the other beliefs that I have about my life to be finally fulfilled? I love coming home on Friday nite and not going back into town until Monday, when work is calling. The fact that I dont want to leave here when I have the ability seems to be completely backflipped when I do have the ability not to leave here. Why does this happen??? I am still at odds to understand this.



But if we are flooded in, what happens then? The kids will only be able to occupy their time for so long, I will need supplies (both personal and food wise) and I will need contact with other people. Just someone to have a coffee with, someone to have a laugh with, just someone that knows how to debate. Now Im not saying that the kids are awful people or that I dont like spending time with them but I am thinking that at some point I am going to need adult company. That's one of the reasons that I go to work on Monday morning.

And here is the other problem that i have - a huge pile of washing and no dryer. Now I have been living this way for a long time but its only when the real comes that I remember that at some point I am actually going to need to buy a real dryer. Ahh.....I wonder what will come first the Government stimulus package or the sunshine.........well just have to wait and see.
