That sounds like a crazy day!! I had a similar thing happen to me..sort of. I was in Albert Lea(Minnesota) at Myers Big Island state park(about 2 hours from my house, excellent place to see snakes..pretty much a huge marsh.) It was like 150 degrees outside (ok..so I am exaggerating a little) and the girls and I were dying of heat..since I drove two hours to get there I didn't feel like leaving just yet but I was afraid my girls were going to get overheated..then an idea came to me..there is a lake in the park not too far from where we were so I decided we could all jump in it with our clothes on..that will cool us off!!! So the girls and I splashed around in the lake (the girls got a huge kick out of being in the lake with our clothes on). We then proceed again on the trail thru the marsh...about ten minutes later storm clouds roll in and it starts to sprinkle(just my luck!!..lol) I ask the girls if they want to keep going or go home since it is just sprinkling and they said go on (go figure..they're kids..they love playing in mud and rain!!..lol) So we kept going..about a half an hour later (and a mile down the trail) the temp drops like 20 degree's and it starts to downpour!!! Now we are all shivering and trying to get back to the car as fast as we can..just when I was thinking things could not get ANY worse the tornado alarms go off!! I was still a mile from my car and in a huge marsh!!! So I take the girls to the bottom of a wet marshy field and we sit there in the pouring rain..the girls were starting to get scared so I told them we were playing a fun game called tornado...if they here a loud noise lie face down in the grass and mommy is going to lay ontop of you..they thought that was funny (it must be nice to be kids..I was FREAKING OUT inside). So I am trying to get ahold of anyone I can on my cell phone hoping the rain won't break it..about 20 minutes later I finally get ahold of my Mom..I had her check all the local news stations for a weather update..she told me there was no warnings on tv....ok so why am I sitting in a huge marsh in pouring rain with my two little girls?...ugggghhh!! LOL! We proceeded back to the car right away!!! Luckily I had a change of clothes in the car for both the girls(I always do when we go herping..they have a talent for getting all full of mud!!) but I was out of luck!! You should have seen the looks I got when I filled my tank on the way home!!!:-)

Ok..... my school is starting to get really stupid..... so today we had a huge protest for seven reasons and it made the NEWS!!!!!!! but i only know 5 of the seven reasons......

1. they were firing a teacher because the state had messed up her teaching degree and didn't fix it until the middle of the year.... so they said she was lying or something and she got mad...

2. juniors are no longer allowed to drive to school!!!!!!! STUPIDEST THING EVER!!!!

3. no more early dismissal or late arrival... what would you do if you had 3 study halls at the end of the day???? what about in the morning???

4. locking the doors.... we cannot get out of the school!!!!!! what happens if there's a fire????? your trapped unless there is someone right there to help you.......

5. the right for the school to search your car..... next year they are making a rule that they can search any car just out of curiosity... CONSTITUTION!!!!!! do we have NO rights
As for you I totally know how you feel. When I was a sophmore in high school I was really looking forward to the open campus rules the juniors and seniors enjoyed. Then the hateful school board changed it to closed campus..right before I was a junior!!! Damn them!! So we were not allowed to leave early if we had study halls or leave for lunch!! So I feel ya!! That was a long time ago for me though..I graduated in 98..this just brings me back:-)

P.S. I talk too much...don't I.
