Rainy Day

It's a rainy day.  The kind of day where staying under the covers in bed with my pajamas on would be ideal.  However, that didn't happen because housework and responsibilities keep me from being lazy. I'm proud to say I rearranged the pantry, scrubbed the bathroom and kitchen floors and ran to Walmart to buy my daughter an umbrella.  

This morning my son had his Spider-man umbrella and willingly let his sister hang out under it until the bus came.  I felt like such a bad mom because I had yet bought an umbrella for her and my umbrella was in the trunk of my car that's currently in the body shop.  Ugh.  So, I ran to the store and bought her one and can't wait to surprise her with it when she gets off the bus.  

It's a nice cool day out and the rain is definitely needed.  I love the rain.  It's so relaxing and peaceful and provides nature with nourishment.  We haven't had a good rain storm in a long time and everything is drying out.  

This has been my car rental since Monday evening.  It's a Ford Focus, which is a little smaller than my Taurus.  The insurance of the woman who backed into me a few weeks ago is paying for the rental while the car is in the shop.  It's been a great little car although you can tell it's been beat up by previous renters.  Why are people so rough with rental cars?  Because it's not yours you don't care about it?  I always believed in taking care of the things I borrow and returning it in the same condition it was given to me.  I will not miss this car though and I can't wait to get my car back.  It's ready and we'll be dropping this off and picking my car up this evening.  I'm excited.  I wasn't always a fan of Fords but since we got our first Taurus I've been hooked.  I have always, always, always loved the Mustang though.  Maybe someday.

Well, I have a ton of other things to get through before the kiddos come home.  I miss them so much.  The days without them drives me insane.  I go crazy.  I do like the quiet time but I miss the energy they bring too.
