This is a big rain we've had over the past 24 hours. It has not rained no-stop, and it is nowhere near what we had on May 1 and 2. Still, after being grateful for the first hour of it, yesterday afternoon, I was not feeling quite so comfortable by 11:00 p.m. last night. It's not the thunder and lightening that get to me, it's the sound of the unrelenting rain. Then you watch the news today, and you see that some schools are letting out early due to flooded roads. Flash flood warnings are everywhere, and I don't ignore those anymore. Frankly, I'd rather my house flood again right now, while I haven't spent all my money to re-build, than have it flood once we get back in there and develop an attachment to it.
I find myself to be so grouchy on rainy days, now. I HATE being grouchy. Seems like everyone would, but some people don't seem to mind it. I prefer to smile and laugh, not bite off every body's head, complain, and feel very tempted to climb back into bed. I blame this grouchiness on this being the last day before school starts, allergies, inability to go to the pool, but the truth is, the rain scares me. I guess it will for a while. Soon enough, I'll be distracted by other happy things and feel safe again that rain won't wash away everything I own. Hopefully some man will come along like in Eat, Pray, Love, and say "You don't need a man, you need a champion." Then I'll be laughing my head off, because what man ever really says things like that??? Seriously, that would be very distracting. :)
