Mama Kat @ Mama's Losin' It

Choose a prompt that inspires you most. Write about it and then go to Mama Kat’s page and link up on Thursday. I am doing them all….
The Prompts:
1.) Share a love letter.

What are those??? Just playin’ honey….no really huh?

2.) Memorial Day Weekend plans?? Do share!

I am hoping this rain clears up and we can go to the beach or have a barbeque and go swimming in the pool.

3.) List ten things you are currently sick of.(inspired by Jenny)

Rain and Gail Force Winds

School (I love my child’s school, I am just ready for summer)

Homework (my child complains about it daily)

Complaining (I know I do it a lot too, but that’s different )

Vacuum Cleaner (just because & it hurts my back)

Dishwasher (does the dishes but I have to unload it therefore not my friend)

Laundry Basket (no need for explanation, it holds my arch nemesis - Laundry)

Washing Machine (well it does do all the work, but I still have to load it with laundry so yes I am a little irritated with it)

Dryer (because it holds the arch nemesis that I have to fold and it beeps at me way too much)

Have I mentioned Rain and Gail Force Winds ????

4.) Put an outfit together using pictures you found online and show us what you'd LIKE to be wearing today. (inspired by Lace) I know I did not exactly follow the rules on this one,but I was close right?? I could not find a picture of a bathing suit I liked.

I would love to be in a bathing suit laying out in the pool drinking a nice cool beverage, but instead I think I need to get me one of these cute rain coats and some rain boots to match. While I am at it I might need to get a boat and maybe some hot cocoa to go with my Monkey Bread, while I wait for the great flood to stop. I think I just saw Noah wave to me as he was passing by.

SunShower Raincoat
Land's End
was $79.50 now $55.65

5.) What have you been too busy to pay attention to? (inspired by Chris)

The beauty that we live in, I am so tied up in this whole rain mess, that I forget how much is it helping us. Like I told Bub yesterday, God must have thought we needed a little cleaning. I know when all this has cleared up everything with be so green and pretty. It has made me sit down and not run around as much and while I hate being cooped up at least I am resting my back, which I would not be doing if the sun was shining..

Rain, Rain Go Away

O.k. we needed the rain, but I am over it already. I love rain storms, but in tiny increments like an afternoon shower or when it starts raining at 8 p.m. and quits by 7 a.m. the next morning, but this is driving me nuts. It has been raining non stop since Sunday night and not just some little light rain, oh no it has been heavy torrential down pour rain with 30 mph winds or higher with the gusts and get this they are saying it will be like this til Friday. It is like tropical storm season in May….ughhhhhh…. My back is hurting and the sun is not shining. Ahhhhh, I just got a call, my nail appointment had to be rescheduled due to flooding..Nooooooo (just playin Tam I know it had to be done)…. I need some sunshine people…

If you look out the window you will see this:

or this

you say you would like a night view well here ya go (could not capture the rain due to the need for a new camera –hint hint Brad):

Oh a view from the car while picking up Bub you say, I got some of those too:

And here is what I have been listening too since Sunday Night:

When it rains I either sleep, just following Gingers Lead and all:

or eat and I tend to want donut type products. I know it is not on my 30x5 plan, but I just can’t help it—if you could put a word in that I want the rain to stop maybe I will quit eating it. Monkey Bread – Yummy stuff.

Bub is enjoying playing video games, but he too is tiring from the rain and is ready for the great outdoors.

Look at the little project they made at school yesterday, fitting for this rainy week, it is in a plastic bag hanging on his bathroom window :)

I just want to be singing this song right now --
