Good morning! Monday...ugh. And the students are baaaack. It's going to be a crazy, crazy day.

We had MAJOR thunderstorms last night. We were all out at the house watching a movie when they first started hitting - sheet lightning and horrendous thunder, plus TORRENTIAL rain. Not a hurricane, but pretty intense just the same. They lost the power almost immediately, and since the house is built on sheet-rock (or something like that), it's been known to happen that people get shocked if downstairs when lightning strikes nearby, so we all crowded into an upstairs bedroom and played music by candlelight for quite a while. Fun, but not exactly planned!

Supposed to get more of the same today, and there's another flood watch in effect. Goody.
