It&#8217;s a couple of blocks from my house and we sit much higher than that portion of the road so we are in no danger of flooding but it makes driving awful!<\/p>\n<p>We were forced to take back roads that have too much traffic on them and we got stuck waiting at some lights for 3 turns before we were able to make it through.  On a normal day it takes me 20 minutes to drop off the younger kids. Today it was close to an hour.<\/p>\n<p>I am thankful though, it could have been worse. The baby fell asleep in the gloomy rain and so we didn&#8217;t have to listen to him cry as we sat still in the traffic. As long as the car moves, he&#8217;s okay. When it&#8217;s stopped, he&#8217;s not. So that one little blessing kept me from completely losing my sanity.<\/p>\n<p>And I did &#8220;find&#8221; another picture. As I was stuck in traffic I saw a great shot of people going into the metro. I&#8217;m not sure when or how I&#8217;ll be able to get over there to actually take the shot &#8212; but it will be so worth it if I can figure out the logistics. Can&#8217;t really stop the car in the middle of the road to pull out my camera. Even with a reflective orange vest! : )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The nightmare started this morning when part of the road in front of our house was underwater from all the rain we got last night.
