Rain, rain go away!

Man, it was like a hurricane hit here last night! Windy and rainy....our bedroom and living room flooded but not too bad. No major water damage. But we lost electricity around 3 a.m. and just got it back on around 8:30 p.m. And (which was kinda nice for me) hubby couldn't go to work since all the roads leading off the North Shore were closed due to downed power lines and flooding. Our kids didn't know what to do with themselves. Last night everyone (all the kids!) woke up after the lights went out and we set up makeshift beds in the living room and "sorta" slept. So it was a long day with kids working on not much sleep. They are all sleeping soundly now. It was slightly sad to get up and not be able to do my morning cruise on the internet...at least we have a french press and my mom has a gas stove and so we had coffee! We made lunch on the barbecue...tomorrow I'll have to check out the contents of the fridge and see how everything faired.
And because of all the "no electricity" and "road closures", our church's craft fair and Christmas dinner was cancelled - til next week. So no craft fair yet. I'm hoping for no rain on Sat. but it could be hopeless....
