it was pouring down rain when i got home so i grabbed all my stuff and got ready for a break in the rain so i could get in the house without getting soaked.
Were you able to avoid the rain?  
yes thankfully i was able to get in the house without rain falling on me
That is good!  It seems like you dodged the bullet!
yeah except i had to walk thru the rain puddles to make it into the house so my shoes and the bottom of my pants got wet.
