The great wash out. Non-stop rain since Friday with no end in sight.
It's a good thing we like rainy days.

Which morphed into re-organizing all my kitchen cabinets, linen and bathroom closets.
Then my closet and the kids closets were screaming not to be forgotten.

And now, because I'm feeling like a good bullet point list, here is the Hambrick How-To-Survive Wash-Out Days:
- Relax - A little extra screen time is not going to permanently harm anyone.
- Make some sort of warm hearty soup or chili.
- Bake some kind of baked goodie thingie.
- Get a few extra movies from the library.
- Allow the pillow pile/forts/obstacle courses to happen
- Throw some rain boots on and go on out and get wet. (Contrary to what my father-in-law believes, I don't believe that rain is infused with germs that make you sick. I love you Jim.)
- When all the above fails, go to the Mall/Library/Museum/Chuck E Cheeses/Meme's house.
What's your secret to surviving rainy days?

It's been raining here for DAYS. Everything is a sloppy muddy mess. So I rearrange my do-list and move those "inside" jobs (that seem to get pushed to the bottom during the summer) to the top. And admittedly I don't feel any rush to get started on a rainy dreary morning (like this one).
