Summer '09
So, this summer hasn't been the best weather wise. It has rained and been overcast for the most part! We did manage to get away to Maine, Old Orchard, for a few days and had good weather. Had a great day at the beach and then another day at Aquaboggan waterpark which the kids really enjoyed, esp Hannah!
Last Thursday evening right after dinner we had a TERRIBLE thunderstorm. The lightening was INSIDE the house sizzling at outlets and shooting sparks! I was glad Andy was home to witness it as he might not have believed me otherwise! It was awful and he finally just turned all the power off so it would stop. The thunder and lightening was right over head -- on top of the house! I thought for sure the house had been struck! I hope that doesn't happen again...
Hannah is out to Crystal Lake today with the Liz and the girls. She is pretty sunburned from Maine, as are we all...hoping it tans and doesn't peel for me anyhow!
I've certainly enjoyed these days off from work. I'm getting pretty frustrated with my current position. I feel like an unappreciated glorified babysitter of a bunch of whiney brats that do as they damn please! I'm really getting tired of it, but I'm stuck...so, I'll pray on it and try and continue to make the best of it til Andy and I can go forward with our plans after the girls are grown.
Otherwise, things are quiet. Enjoying these summer days, which today is actually a nice somewhat sunny day, but it looks like more rain in the forecast is coming! I'm hoping August turns out to be a bit better! We have our cabin rented for the second weekend out at Norton Pond. Let's hope the owner mows the lawn for us!
