Raindrops keep falling on my head...

I have to say, that it's been one of the rainiest summers that I can remember. So far we've had 21.11in of rain and last year we only had 11.75. Taken from walker,weather, MI

Listen, I'm not complaining. I love what the rain does to our grass, plants and flowers....green, green, green.

Recently, I also learned that our cost of water went up 100% since last year.

Don't worry we contribute to our public works, with 8 in our family we do our share of laundry and not to mention showers!

When the kids were little I could fit them all in the bathtub at once and save a bunch on water usage... I think the most I fit in the tub at once was three and there were legs and arms everywhere. I washed them in an assembly line, and when they got out, the same thing ~ those were the days.

I was telling my friend the other day, that we thought it was hard when they were little. In actuality it was the easy times...yes, it's difficult at times not getting sleep, doing everything for them, but at least you know where there at, you can put them to bed when you want, feed them healthy food etc.

When there teenagers--watch out! That's when the real work starts.

You worry about them when there gone (especially if they drive) You don't have any say during the summer on bedtimes. You certainly cannot make them dress the way you want them to dress. It's just a whole new ballgame.

Let me ask you this how did a post about water, morph into a post about teenagers--see what they do to me! (good grief) Well it's been a while this whole blogging thing....I'll work on sticking to one subject next time!

It's good to be back! :)
