Rainy Afternoon

I never before understood why people disliked rainy days. Before kids, rain meant hopes of a nap & a cup of hot tea. Now, rainy afternoons don’t hold such wonder or anticipation because they mean 3 kids stuck inside when two of them would prefer to be in the outside swing & the third would love anything involving four wheels and rocks from the driveway. And might as well not even brew the cup of tea---it’ll either get cold while I play with the babies or Wyatt will want it. Whoever heard of a 2-year old who says “yummy” to herbal tea anyway! I wouldn’t trade my children for anything…but I’d sure like to hit the pause button on them some days. And the mute button, too.
