Oh, the excitement

Well, I really do welcome the rain, but it throws such a dent into my happy little days off.  We can't go to the pool, and the boys refuse to "bop around' and do errands with me, so there were a whole lot of chores going on yesterday - on my part, not theirs....  Lots of cleaning, changing sheets, vacuuming, laundry, cooking, ironing, and
