I am sooo sick of rain. We've had almost 8+ inches of rain in the last 3 days - and last night 50+ MPH wind gusts, and it was absolutely horrible.

Tom didn't go to work cause the main road flooded, so we stayed home. Plus the fact he had to keep an eye on his speedboat.

But looking at this picture from the newspaper - some people didn't stay home.




What we have learned:

1. THE DIVA DOG has to pee the most during the hardest downpour of rain. She will wait till she hears it raining really hard then wants to go out. She won't go out unless it's pouring.

2. The boat is only truly waterproof on the bottom. The top of the boat will leak with excess rain. (praying for nice days this weekend to dry out inside - and to waterproof found leaks)

3. Daytime TV sucks. There is nothing good on TV during the day. Especially when you can't go outside.

4. The Idiots that built this boat has drainage from the top of the boat running across the part where I have to get off. Every time my little short legs tries to get off the boat when its raining, i look like I peed myself.....

5. When you are stuck in the house, there is never food that you WANT to eat.

6. Scotch guard won't protect you from major rains. While up till now it's worked great, this week we found out - it allows water to seep through.

7. Rain does come down sideways with heavy winds. Glass Windows won't stop rain when it's coming sideways.

8. A wet Stinky dog will lay where you don't want her to dry off. My pillows were her favorites.

9. Diva Dog will shake dry only when standing next to me. EVERYTIME

10. 2 people can use 15 towels in a matter of a few days when it's really raining outside.

11. Wet towels are heavy when you have to haul them to the laundry mat.

12. Tom and Diva can actually sleep 23 hours in one day. I think they broke a record yesterday for snoozing.

13. While The Coast Guard Base will close for bad weather, Walmart doesn't.

14. Paychecks will not make it to the bank to be deposited in time when the payroll lady can't make it to work. (that was a shocker to me - hope she never takes vacations)...

15. Tom misses Shell, and her ability to make Good Tea.


So hopefully tomorrow it clears up, and we can dry out. now since we know where we have leaks we can get them fixed so we don't have this problem again. We never had rain like this before, and the boat didn't leak before like it did this time. So I have a huge Honey-Do list started. Plus we got to soon get ready to go to PA.

You know, actually it could be worse, this could of been snow. :)
