I don't know what's sitting in your drafts waiting to be released (which we are all looking forward to reading) -- but let me just say, I LOVED this...it's such a mom-experience, so real and so funny and endearing all wrapped into one!
Glad you escaped and had your rant...enjoyed it!
Yeah for storms!!!!
(I have a similar rainstorm watch experience as we too are in a drought...glad you got some rain!!!!!!)
