Blueprints For An Ark

It has literally been raining in DC since like the dawn of time.  I keep getting all the flash flood warnings on my phone.  (I know there are other parts of the country where flooding is a SERIOUS PROBLEM and schools are closed and buildings have collapsed.  I am by no means minimizing that.)  I'm not a really religious person but earthquakes, hurricanes, flooding, I'm starting to look for locusts and frogs and hide Michael from the slaying of the first born.  Isn't Passover in the Spring?  All the extreme weather events are getting a bit, well, extreme, to say the least?

But, I have cute rain boots so I get to wear those.  BRIGHT SIDE. 

In other news, because complaining about the weather is so "first world problems" we seem to have settled into back to school around here.  Michael ADORES his first grade teacher and I'm almost afraid to say it two weeks in but she really does seem to be a gem.  Doug is back at work and while this may not be his dream job, it is a job.  Now that he is out of the house 11 hours a day I miss having him around so much. Although the pay check and not having all the stress is certainly an added bonus.

We are in full swing fall mode with school fundraisers and soccer and karate and religious school starting soon and I'm starting to see Halloween costumes and pumpkins and apples everywhere.  And I volunteered to be room mom again. Because once is apparently not enough for me.

Enough about me.  How are you guys?  How is your weather?  Does anyone have the blueprints for an ark? Because seriously, will it ever STOP RAINING?

Hey DCers?  Did you know it is Rockville Restaurant Week?  IT IS.  And I'm writing about it over at The DC Moms.
