Rain, Sun, Rain, Sun….

Posted by Jenn Greenleaf May 6, 2009

It was pouring – let me rephrase – POURING this morning when the kids loaded on to their bus. It’s one of those mornings where sitting on the couch under a heap of blankets with a steaming cup of tea would be a slice of Heaven . . . then, out of nowhere, the sun pops out for about ten minutes. This is, of course, shadowed by more clouds and rain just as you’re about to hope the cushions outside will dry enough to move there to work.

I understand that it’s a woman’s right to change her mind (or however that cliché goes), but Mother Nature is being all too fickle right now. My case in point – the sun has shown itself and then quickly vanished again three times since the start of this blog post. The clouds must be traveling much faster than usual, because this is not a typical annoyance.

Why am I writing about this?

I guess I’m trying to distract myself from the other stressful annoyances that have been occupying my mind the past two days. Guess what? It worked! The entire time I was writing about this weird sun, rain, sun, rain thing . . . I didn’t think about those troubles at all. So, I’m guessing that if I find other “odd” ways to distract myself today . . . I won’t think about these things at all!

One can only hope.

[Edited to add: the sun is out again! Wait, no . . . never mind . . . there’s the rain again.]
