Rain, Rain and more Rain...
We really needed the rain -- I just keep telling myself that and thanking God for the rain He has showered us with in abundance!! Even though it is crazy soggy!!!
As we've done all week, Seth and I made our way to Daytonat this morning in the pouring rain. We got there and did'nt see many cars in the parking lot. I thought that was a little odd but didn't put two and two together until I drove around to Seth's classroom. There we saw signs on the door saying "No School Today!" It didn't give an explanation, just "No School." I thought that this was somewhat odd and of course my day was now taking a completely different turn! As I was leaving I saw one of the staff members walking across campus and stopped to ask what had happened. He informed me that several of the school teachers had experienced flooding in one way or another over the night. Several simply could not get out of their streets because there were so many flooded and closed streets in Volusia. One teacher had a tree fall on her house, another lives in a two story condo and had 2 inches of standing water in the first floor as well as in her car! I felt so bad for them - especially knowing that several of the teachers are single and I can only imagine how something like flooding could affect them! If you remeber, please pray for these wonderful teachers who were affected by the flooding.
Even though we drove to school for nothing, I was thankful that God had once again kept us safe on the roads. And now, Seth had a free day - the options where endless!!! We kept it simple, mainly due to the fact it was still raining heavily in Daytona. So, we headed to the Port Orange Library. We went into the children's center and Seth sat down at a computer next to another little girl from his class at school. They spent the morning playing on the comupter and reading books together. They really had a nice time. Then we decided to go check out some videos so we could go home snuggle on the couch and enjoy! We watched "The Shaggy Dog" and "One Night with the King." We had not seen either one of them and they were both great! We really enjoyed "One Night with the King." If you haven't seen it - we highly recommed it! And we saved the best for last -- "The Sound of Music." One of our favorites!
Now it's off to bed. Seth's principal just called and confirmed school is open tomorrow and now I even get to attend! This time I had my choice -- fourth grade or K-4. Tough decision (not), so fourth graders - here I come!
...On our way to drying out!
