The Bleess Family: Rain, Rain Go Away!!

The rain sure put a damper on our weekend plans. We had some yard work that we wanted to get done. Saturday was a lazy day for the most part. I didn't get home from work until 2:45 in the morning!! I normally get off work at midnight, but stayed an hour later, no big deal. As I headed towards I-70 from downtown, I came to a stop. There was an accident only 5 cars in front of me. This stretch of road is where it is down to ONE lane, and that's where the accident happened. Of course I had just passed the previous exit ramp. Several firetrucks, ambulances, MODOT, tow trucks, cop cars arrived on the scene. No one was going anywhere for a LONG time. I got bored after awhile, so I called a friend from work who also gets off at 1am, then called my Mom, then eventually Ryan so he wouldn't worry. Almost an HOUR later of not moving an inch, the accident was cleared. NOT a good way to start the weekend! Once I woke up (around 10:30am), I saw the girls wearing only diapers, crawling in the hallway. Zac was playing in his room, and Ryan was napping on the couch. He and Zac had gotten up early and went to the grocery store. The house was a mess! Toys everywhere, dirty dishes in the kitchen, etc. So I opened all the drapes and started cleaning. Later that night my friend, Melissa came over to visit. Ryan and I took Zac to Lowe's. She watched the girlies for us and we brought back Chinese for dinner. Yum! And that was the extent of our evening. Sunday, Ryan couldn't takie it anymore and mowed the front yard. It was getting tall. The kids all took a nap at the SAME time (miracle!) and I worked on homework. It was quiet, I almost forgot how wonderful silence is :) Sunday was another lazy day. It was kind of nice to have a relaxing weekend, even though it was due to the rainy weather. When it's nice outside, I feel like we need to be outdoors enjoying it!
