Today's vent is brought to you by.....

Rain.

Don't get me wrong, I love the rain. I would happily jump ship to the Pacific Northwest and live out my days in galoshes and turtlenecks. There is nothing finer than listening to the rain splatter on your window as you fall asleep at night.

But here's the thing.

I don't live in the Pacific Northwest, I live in a desert. The second driest state in the nation according to my 1st grader. It is time for the rain to stop and the sun to shine. We Want Summer!

Today I will drag my kids to swimming lessons and hope they don't freeze their little tushies off when we are done. They are kinda cute with their blue lips and soggy hair, but still.... it's June folks. Bring on the warm!

    OH NO! I'M LOVING IT! I just told Dave yesterday that this is the most perfect spring ever. We have months and months to be hot, and the weather is at least warm enough to be outside, even if it is raining. And at least it's not snow!!! I'm loving the rain.

    AMEN! I LOVE rainy days, but come on we need a break! We had Aubree's 2nd dance recital last night - in the rain! It was wet and cold, but not as bad as last week :) I guess you need to find the positive in anything right? I am READY for the warm weather :)

    So, you found a plus side to year round school! My kids are very comfortable at their non-airconditioned year-round school this week. It is the perfect temperature in thier classrooms. I love this weather! I think it is perfect!
    I don't feel guilty watching tv cuz it is raining, I can do crafts, I can clean, I can chill cuz I can't work in the yard!
    Like I said..perfect IF your kids are still in school, that is!

    We've got muggy here (unusual for June and for where we are, too).

    yeah Stacy...perfect IF your kids are in school. but if they are home and it rained the entire three weeks they were out (it seems anyway) and every other time they were out this school year it snowed----let's just put it this way: bring on next year and A track!
