Today was a field trip day, to the capital with 4th graders, in torrential rain. I am still wet, and really tired. After the first rough hour, it actually went pretty well, so I count that as a win. I think those who didn't go, with the sub to cover for me, since I was covering for the coworker who was out, had a rougher day of it. Not because of my 2 kiddos, but one of the others.
Anyways, glad that is done anyways. I know I need to get some more training though, maybe there will be some things I can do this summer.
I am sitting at McD again, today I broke down and got caffeine and a small french fry. Only a couple bucks, but still won't do that every day. I don't want to spend too much. I so wanna get my credit card paid off!
So who else is in flooding areas? You staying dry and safe? Or what is your weather like? Anyone seen the sun recently?

We are expecting 150 millimeters of rain on Saturday. There will be lots of flooding along the river and in the low lying areas. I am glad we love on top of a hill.

We are in flood watch. If the weather turns too warm the run off up in the mountains will be down here and flooding over the banks. Our green belt is closed until June. We are having weather in the 80's for a few days.

@Jessicalynnt .....We have some flooding and people having to be evacuated. It's supposed to get worse at the end of the month too.

it will take some time, but it is going down, each month the balance is a bit lower than the previous month, and the only things going on it are a few autodraft bills that I have to pay anyways. So that way it still shows activity. I always pay more than those bills, so as to work on the rolling balance

The sun is still there, I saw it today, and yesterday. My front yard looks like a lake, my back yard was so soggy hubby could not get the trailer out to go get a transmission. He just fitted it in the van.

I have been watching the news... I can't believe how bad it has gotten. We had a little bit here but the province took steps a few years ago to prevent something horrible happening again. I really feel for you guys. And I think that we are out of the woods now!! Sending lots of sunshine your way!!

some areas I dont think have a way of preventing flooding, I do think I'd build up, so that if there were floods, my home was above it, if I had to build in a flood plain

It's been a slow process, but my goal has always been, a lower balance at the end of the month than the beginning. the only things that go on there, are bills I have money for and am paying anyways, so that there is still use showing on it. then I pay that amount, plus interest, plus whatever I can extra, sadly sometimes that's only 10 dollars, but still
