It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring

I know everyone we love in Texas is sick of rain, but we have been promised rain time and again only to be disappointed.

Finally, this afternoon it started raining. Then it started pouring. There was even thunder and lightning to serenade us while we ate tonight.

I'm hoping it will keep on through the night. I love to sleep while rain is pelting my windows.

The only things that could make it better would be if it was Friday night and there was some way to make sure my children would sleep in on Saturday morning until at least 9. Oh, and some wonderful chef from Food Network would have breakfast prepared for us and my house would magically clean itself.

But I'll take the rain for now.
