Tip#2: If you must eat lunch out try and pick a place that has a drive thru window to avoid yet again being pelted by sideways rain. But if you can't then it's a must to pick your favorite yummy warm food:)
Tip#3: When the rain lets up would be a good time to do your running of errands rather than the most inopportune of times during previously mentioned- sideways rain and 100mph winds (or so it feels).
Tip#4: Use both hands when driving in this torrential downpour despite how adventurous you may feel splashing through the "high water" signed areas one-handed at 45+mph;) you can indeed lose control and be swept off the road into a chocolate brown sea of mystery and if there are no other Ford's around to pull you out of this mess...well then...don't expect the passing Prius to do so...you will be stuck my friend.
Tip#5: this should really be mentioned as tip#1 advising that before you leave the house for the day make sure to throw something into your slow cooker so that you don't have to even think about making dinner after you wade back in from the day. We will be having Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings and this is the first time using this recipe.
Tip#6: If you don't have to leave the house this is an excellent time to listen to the storm outside while spring cleaning inside. This way when or if we should ever see the sun shine again you can actually get outside to enjoy it rather than have a list of To-Do's waiting for you.
Tip#7: If you really need more ideas of how to spend a rainy day;) then bake something like yummy delicious cinnamon rolls or get rid of clothes you haven't warn in over a year and donate them to a family who could use them. Conquering either of these events leaves you feeling very accomplished and gives your house a great smell or has you feeling freer (is that even a word) with more closet space and less clutter. Oh how I need to de-clutter right after I bake!
Tip#8: Attempt at least a 30 minute workout of some kind even if that is just breaking a sweat over cleaning a bathtub or mopping a floor :) If you would like any suggestions for an excruciating, wonderful, good time try out the Insanity workout. We started this in my house but with flu/cold season that wouldn't leave us alone we fell a little behind.
Tip#9: Change your sheets....or maybe I'm turning this into my to-do list :0) but tell me what is better than clean, good smelling sheets to crawl into bed to and fall asleep to the rain.
Tip#10: If you are single, enjoy your You-time, grab your favorite blanket and get lost in a good book or the new episode of The Missing with Ashley Judd on tonight at 8pm.
If you are married enjoy your family, maybe still grab that favorite blanket and start reading a good book together or snuggle to the new episode of The Missing :) .....then again if you're not in a snuggling mood and need you time refer to the first suggestion for You-time.
Whatever your day looks like and whatever you do just make sure to tell someone you love them... and thank someone for what they've given to you.
Thank you for reading and for your patience as I'm completely having fun with being new to blogging and have no idea what I'm doing but determined to learn all I can and enjoy it along the way :)
Have a blessed day
~Sarah
