Rain and rain and bugs and Hide and Seek

Well it's finally not raining. We've had so much rain, everything is wet and flooding is all over, even our house. :-(
I was talking with a NGO Project Manager today and the worry with all this rain and heat is Dengue so we are looking into getting packets that you put in the water tanks to get rid of the mosquitos.
With the roads so flooded I have been walking to get to places. I like the exercise as long as it's not pouring but today I took my bike. It can be dangerous though cause no one wants to get into the puddles, even the cars so everyone including me are in the middle of the road and then a car comes by and you either get soaked or you get out of the way so not to get hit. That's another fear. Cars think of nothing to run you off the road and will even hit you if you are in their way. They don't want to go in the pot holes or the puddles so if they have to run you off or hit you , well oh well... GGrrrrr It always happens and I tell the kids, both mine and my Khmer "be careful!"
It's been wonderful with even all this rain I haven't seen spiders. Usually with the rain the big spiders look for a way to get in... I hate them and even though I'm more used to them they still startle me. When we were watching the 3rd instalment of "Lord of the Rings" , "Return of the King"and the part where the giant spider is chaseing Frodo, well all my kids were watching me and howling. "Look at Mommy!!" The bigger ones Know pay day is coming. My Khmer boys love to tell Ghost stories and scare them selves silly and so one of these nights... We did that about a momth ago and you should have heard the screaming. With the stairs to the upstairs on the outside it can be tricky at best but my younger son , my Son-in-law and I were having a ball trying not to get caught and scaring the kids upstairs. The neighbors next door were enjoying it and whispering directions to various members of the family hoping someone would get caught. Also sending the dogs from both house holds into a frenzy...
Well what else can you do when it rains and you get bored... I love hide and seek :-)
