The Boni Bunch: Rain Rain go AWAY!

Rain Rain go AWAY!

I don't mind the rain.... normally! In fact, all my life, I am the one who goes out and plays barefoot.... splashing in the puddles & having a blast in the rain. I have a whole photo album of storms, funnel clouds, lightening, etc...I LOVED BAD WEATHER! ......It's funny how having 4 kids dampers that fun! Then....getting RUDELY awakened by the loud claps of thunder and the room-illuminating lightening....somehow it's just not as fun as it used to be! So, in a nutshell, the last two days of rain are more than enough for me for now! Let it rain on the weekend...that would work for me...since I work weekends & sleep all day, I wouldn't mind the rain a bit! But, getting out in it with all the kids is quite the undertaking!! Picture it: umbrella in one hand, car seat in the other hand...struggling to open the car door all while trying to avoid getting me & baby soaked! Not so easy!....then I have to do that 4 times!! SO, by the time they're all loaded or unloaded... they are all dry, but I am somehow soaking wet!
Now, yesterday, when I went to pick up Xander from school, I didn't take an umbrella with me. So I was definitely sopping! When I went up to the gate to get him, another mom came running up to me in a full body raincoat plus a GINORMOUS umbrella. She said, "Take my umbrella to get Xander to the car- Avery (her daughter) and I have raincoats so we'll be fine.... I'll come back after I put her in the car so I can get the umbrella from you!" Angels in disguise...that's all I've got to say! God bless Shannon (that's her name)!!
Now... the sun is out & it was a little toasty in my black car that has 2 windows that won't go down and no air conditioning! So....the question of the day: Do I want the rain, so it's cool in the car, but I get soaked? OR Do I want sun, so I'm dry, but it's hot in the car??
