Rain, Rain Go Away & Don't Come Back Until Next Year

I am so tired of all the rain we have had this year. I live in supposedly "Sunny" now "Rainy" Northern California. I think somebody is playing a mean trick, because I haven't seen much of the sun in the last 2 months. I want sunshine, please. Rain is very depressing after awhile. I am stuck in this damn house and the kids are driving me insane. Drama Queen doesn't care if it is raining, she loves playing in it. She doesn't understand why I won't let her play in the park with it raining. Maybe it has something to do with not wanting to clean up all the mud on her clothes when she comes home or maybe I don't want her to be sick or maybe I am just being a plain ol' meanie. Being stuck in the house, my mind starts to wander. I don't want it to wander. When it wanders, I start to really miss Sniper and start to become emotional. I start to wonder where he is at, what he is doing, is he safe? The usual worries. It's even harder when the kids are gone. They go back to Jedi's tomorrow. I am not looking forward to the house being quiet. I finally realized, as long as the kids are around, I stay super busy. When they aren't here, it's.....just......quiet. I want to be outside, playing in my yard. Well, I can't do that. I guess that leaves me with one option, study, study, study. I haven't done that yet. Remember my moto, "Put off today, what you can do tomorrow." I need to change my philosophy. dyzgoneby 356 days to go, at least we are under the 1 year mark
