I think the blogs that I referred to in my previous post are both stay at home Mom&#8217;s.  Before you attack, I know that stay at home Mom&#8217;s work VERY, VERY hard and I am not taking away from that.  The thing is, though, that I don&#8217;t have a machine set up at home (because if I did, home would just become an extension of work and I don&#8217;t want that!) and my days in the office are usually too hectic to get here.  But I will try&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Weather is the big topic around here today.  It&#8217;s been pouring buckets all day and we continue to get a half and inch of water per hour and they predict this will continue through 5 p.m. tonight.   We&#8217;ve also had sustained winds of about 35 mph with wind gusts up to 60 mph.  Unfortunately, the main road that I take home tends to flood so I just may be swimming home this evening (and I&#8217;m not a good swimmer &#8211; send out the Coast Guard!).<\/p>\n<p>Another thing I&#8217;ve been meaning to tell you about.  A couple weeks back, I purchased a new vacuum cleaner for the house.  It&#8217;s amazing how a new appliance can change the way you look at chores.  You see, my new vacuum is bagless and it&#8217;s almost fun to vacuum now and see just how much &#8220;stuff&#8221; you actually pick up when you vacuum!  Of course, having two cats in the house adds to the collection but it definitely doesn&#8217;t look like there&#8217;s that much &#8220;stuff&#8221; on your floors and carpets until you see it gathered in that little plastic tub!  Of course, I like the vacuum all the more since the sign on the shelf said it was $169.99 but the cash register said it was $102.00. Shhhh&#8230;  don&#8217;t tell anyone!<\/p>\n<p>Okay, that&#8217;s good for today!  Don&#8217;t want to share too much or I&#8217;ll have nothing to post next time (it&#8217;s an exciting life I lead!).<\/p>\n<p>Stay afloat&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since I vowed to get better at this, here&#8217;s another update and less than two weeks after my last one!
