I normally love the rain. To sit in the house on a cloudy day and watch a good movie all snuggled on the couch while you hear the pitter patter of the rain hit the windows. Your eyes begin to close so slowly, and before you know it, you have fallen into a peaceful sleep. Oh, how I miss those days.....Now that there are 3 kids involved, a rainy day means kids are stuck in the house all day and that will mean that some sort of blood will be shed between them over something so minor, yet rather major.
We had plans to go camping this week!!! We were so excited. Steve got this huge tent for Christmas and we are dying to go camping and test it out. This tent is like a house!!! Well, we have decided that we are no longer going to plan to go on a camping trip. Every time we do, the weather has other plans. I took the week off from work this week to so that we could enjoy the great outdoors and I don't have to worry about my cell phone ringing, or an employee needing me for some problem that I need to fix. Just the 5 of us enjoying some good camp out food, rest and relaxation.... That did not happen!! The rain will not stop!!!
So anyway, we could have gone Sunday night since the rain was not coming until Monday, but Steve had a job interview in the morning. So we didn't go. Then we thought how fun it would be to go ahead and go, and listen to the rain--it would be fun I told Steve if there were not little kids involved. They don't know how to enjoy the pleasures of the rain like adults can!!!
So we are home. Stuck inside. So here I am off work, and I am using the time to get caught up on laundry, cleaning out the fridge, cleaning out closets. The kids have worked in a few board games. So far, no one has been injured by the other yet, so that is a good. I just hope the rain decides to let up long enough for us to enjoy this spring break!!!
I am taking this time this week to spend some time with friends that I am not able to do much of during the week with school and work. I had lunch with some friends today and all of our kids. 3 adults and 7 kids. That sounds like a nightmare, but we all had a great time. The 5 girls sat a table by themselves while the 2 little boys set with the adults. We had lots of food sharing going on between the 2 tables, lots of giggly girls (I love to hear girls giggle!!) and then lots of Beau wanting to get out of his highchair to get to the girls. When I finally let him go sit at the table with the girls, he was so proud. We had a really great time.
Of course, as it is close to time to leave, the rain begins to pick up. We run to the car (we did have umbrellas, but the rain was blowing sideways, so the umbrellas were not helping much) and there is a car parked so close to the driver side, there is no way I am going to be able to squeeze through and get Beau in his seat, so we all get in the car on the passenger side. As I am getting the kids in and about to climb in the car myself, the wind blows so hard that the umbrella turns in side out. Of course it one of those big ones, and I can't get it fixed. (At this point if anyone had been watching this, I know they were laughing). I would get half of the umbrella fixed but never could get the whole thing to pop back. By the time I finally got the darn thing fixed, I was drenched. Oh the joys of the rain--right?!?!
Well, that is all I have for today's blog. I will sure to be back on this week!! Enjoy the rain!!!!!
