Rain Rain Go Away

After returning home from a relaxing trip to Canada and visiting the grand kids and family I went back to work today. I did playground duty for an elementary school....the woman I subbed for's day starts at 7 am. So I was up bright and early or should I say dark and early....drove to work though lots of standing water.....spent three and a half hours in the wind and rain....it didn't let up for five minutes....watched kids get crazy in the puddles...many moms had to come with dry clothing today. Interestenly enough the sixth graders stayed under the covered play area. The only plus to the day was it ended at 1:30 and I drove home in more standing water....felt exhausted...went to bed ....woke up with a blinding headache and to find a leak in my kitchen ceiling which we are not sure where it is coming from....gratefully the rain let up and the leak was over my sink so it didn't cause anymore damage. Watching the news I realized there were many others who had a worse day than i did because of the rain....but I do wish and hope it goes away....but I am sure if it does it will only be temporary cause after all we do live in the green northwest...and green means RAIN!
