So What Do You Do When It Has Rained 9 Days Straight?

It has rained for the last nine days, and counting, days. Not just a afternoon shower, which is completely normal in Florida this time of year, but all day rain, with no sun to speak of. Grr it is awful. My dog has cabin fever, my kids have cabin fever, I have cabin fever, it is awful. The pool needs vacuuming, we are having a playgroup pool party Wednesday, and I can not even get in the pool to clean it. The way things are going it might rain. When I was a kid, a million years ago, we used to come home from school, and watch The Land of the Lost. Today, there is all day marathon of the original show. My husband is using Tivo to catch all the episodes. My son is watching it right now. So at least if it rains again, we will have something to do. Yesterday, we watched Hotel for Dogs. My kids, and husband thought it was great. I liked it but liked Beverly Hills Chihauha much better. My husband also rented Mall Cop which will probably get viewed tonight. Saturday, during the rain out, they watched Bedtime Stories. I listened to it, as I was working, but they loved it. I do not remember the last time we have stayed inside, and watched so much TV, and movies. I really need some sunshine. It is peeking out right now. I will keep my fingers crossed, I would even settle for a quick shower later. Below is the trailer for the new Land of the Lost movie. This is probably the summer movie we will go to see. I hope everyone has a safe, and happy Memorial Day.

I Cant Believe How Hot It Is Already!

This is our third year, living in Florida. We are originally from NY, and while we are adjusting to the heat, this is ridiculous. It is the time of year, where it starts to heat up, here in Florida. We dont usually see this kind of heat, this early however. It has been well over 100, every day for at least 5 days now. It is so hot, that our pool feels like a hot tub. We have to go out and swim, before 10 am, for it to even feel cool and refreshing. I hope this is not a sign of the summer to come. Back in NY, where we still have family, they are under heat warning themselves. We have had thunder every single day, but maybe only 10 drops of rain. The grass is all brown and yucky. I hope we get some good rain soon.
