OK... so I was having a down day kinda. Just couldn't be "happy". I told Chuck I was hungry for hamburgers and french fries, so we were going to go to McD's when Tyler got home from scouts and then go to Walmart to go food shoping. Well, on our way I changed my mind and we headed to Mattas (YUM!!!). On our way I was looking southeast at the beautiful dark clouds and I told Chuck I wanted to drive to the clouds and see the rain... but seeing as I had just been to the gas station and it stopped me at my $100 limit, I knew I couldn't. So we went and ate and I looked out the window just before leaving Mattas and saw sprinkles! YEA!!! So we headed to Walmart and the sprinkles stopped. Oh-well... So we did our shopping and as we were leaving, I looked out the doors and it was POURING!!! YEA!!! So we ran to the truck and hurried and got the kids in and the groceries (thank goodness we didn't have a huge cart full!) and we got in the truck soaking wet! The rain was coming in sideways and and there was a puddle of rain on my dashboard... funny, huh? I was all of a sudden really happy (I love the rain!!!) Well... I drove home (you could barely see anything as we were driving) and I really wanted Golden Spoon... so I made Chuck get out of the truck and go in and get me some... Tart Mango in a waffle cone. (plus 2 quarts, one old-fashioned vanilla and one tart mango) and then we were heading home. When we were driving down Brown Rd, we saw a back bumper laying the East bound lanes of traffic, so we turned around (Oh- it's raining hard again right now!!! 10:15pm I hear it coming down good!!!) and Chuck got out once again (the good boy that he is) and he picked it up and put it the parking lot and jumped back in the truck (by this time he was SOAKING WET!!! So anyways, some person I guess just lost their bumper and they are driving around with no license plate or bumper, kinda funny. So if you are reading this and you don't have your bumper, it's on Brown and Horne in the medical complex parking lot! Heehee... So, finally we almost get to our house and I see flashing lights and the curious person I am has to go and check it out... come to find out it was in front of our friends house, so I call to make sure they are OK. They were... it had something to do with their tree and a power line and it was sending sparks into their neighbors yard (scary), so they hopefully got it all figured out! I'm glad you're safe Kristen! So, we finally get home and get the kids in bed and I get to spend some good quality time with my hubby, something I haven't had in awhile. It was nice! But now he's asleep and I got my dishwasher loaded and going, so now I can go to sleep a happy wife!
I'm going to try and post more tomorrow, but for now...
Good night, sleep tight, dream of bed bugs tonight!
(name the movie...)

I have been lovin' listening to the rain tonight too! It's always such a nice change, plus, I'm sure my little tomato plants and the grass are in HEaVeN!
I haven't had a night that exciting in a long time! We're Ok, thanks for calling. I'll post the story on my blog later today. My backyard is so green now - and we have irrigation tomorrow. We tried to cancel it but it's too late. Talk about overkill, haha.
I LOVE the rain too, howling wind, thunder lightening, all of it. It always puts me in a good mood. I still get the urge to go outside and run around in it just like when I was a kid. You probably can find me outside during a storm or at least inside watching it.
Lion King! am I right? that is what popped into my head. Anyways, glad the rain made you so happy!! it poured on us the whole time we were gone, and the entire drive home! We LOVE the rain!! and we love you guys!!! SOMEBODY mowed our side yard, and edged, AND put our garbage can to the street. Man, we feel very loved!! talk to you soon! -Fawny-
Who the heck wouldn't notice they lost their bumper??? Weirdos. I gotta go to Golden Spoon sometime, I just went 1x when it opened with a friend but it was good. I like how they have a lot of flavors compared to other yogurt places!
