We had a great day. We took a Bday gift to a coworker, visited the mall (I did NOT die from going to Hot Topic) and ate a picnic lunch with Kevin and Brett. It was a great day. Tonight, it started raining, and we lost the damn dish signal at the end of my favorite show. I started to get ticked, then I heard the girls asking to go outside and see if it's raining.
The logical mother in me started to say that there was NO way I would let them outside in this nonsense. Then, I thought again. They need to know that rain is a blessing, and that without it, life would end. I said "yes" and went out with them.
We danced in the rain. We laughed in the rain. We sang and played and made fools of ourselves in the rain. We were so soaked that we needed towels when we came back inside. Yeah, we had fun.
Now, I need to go to bed. I am mostly packed, and I have to leave no later than 6 in the morning. Our flight is to leave at 7. However, I am not going to bed right now. I'm going to put on another pair of pants and go dance in the rain ONE more time. This may have been the best day ever!

I'm glad you danced and played in the rain. That is what they will remember long after you are gone. Stuff like that.
Have a safe trip.

It rained hard enough to lose signal?

PS Thats cute about you and the girls playing in the rain. I get kinda side tracked when talking about Dish.
I often lose my Dish signal in the rain. Very annoying! When my girls were about the same age, I remember playing in the rain with the younger one (we were living south of 50 but near Lone Jack) while my husband and older daughter stood on the porch and laughed at us. One of the downspouts had fallen and we even washed our hair under it (well, where it was supposed to be)
