That Overtime knocked me out!

I slept for about 2 whole days and now, I finally feel somewhat normal. My head is usually on the pillow at 7pm and I am out. I slept most of the day on Sat and Sunday and today, I actually got through a couple of loads of laundry and some dishes. The children had 4 days off and as the icing on the cake they had a 2 hour delay, because of the deluge of rain that we had last night.
They have a saying down here: "Lord willing and the creek don't rise", which essentially means, "barring any providential hinderances". I got a chance to see the "creek rise" first hand. Streets were cut off and some houses were spared by a hair from real flooding. Thank God to be in a house on higher ground. God is so good to show us what these southern sayings mean. We have a farm across the big street from ours that has been red and dry for the years that we have lived here and then one big rain I say that it really was a marshy area. Now it looks like a rice pattie in Japan. It is quite a difference from the drought of 2 years ago. We are very grateful for the rain and the beauty. The children are appreciating the different sensitivity that the school system has for the affects of the elements of nature. God still has some say as to whether or not school has a 2 hour delay. They just love it. Especially Evvy has time to fawn over herself and get ready. It is cute to see my baby girl become a woman.
I am not going to push my new found energy and I am not going to stay up past my bedtime. So... good night.
