I Love A Rainy Night

I love a rainy night.  I love to hear the thunder, watch the lightning, as it lights up the sky.  You know it makes me feel good.

There.  Now that I've written that down perhaps I can get the song out of my head and into someone else's.  It is 9:30pm here on Sunday night and the kids have just gone to bed.  Reason being, the four of us sat in the window sill of our bedroom and watched a wonderful thunder and lightning storm that has been going on since a little after six this evening.  We thought it was done so we got them into bed but in the last few minutes it has resumed.  I love storms and can sit and watch for hours.  We sure saw some great lightning tonight.  It was all over the place and lots right in front of us as we looked out over the river.  It was fun and the kids enjoyed it too!

I missed writing last night mainly because there wasn't much to write about but also because I'm lazy.  I don't believe I went anywhere yesterday but stayed home and played with the kids and Tim.  Today wasn't much different except that we went as far as Carrefour.  I didn't feel great yesterday and today and I think it may have had something to do with all the tomatoes I had in a salad that consists of raw garlic, onions, grape tomatoes and shredded carrot.  Most of that stuff I never used to eat but when you put it all together with some olive oil and salt then drop it on some steamed rice, it's tasty!  Too bad I ate it three times yesterday and then had sushi for supper.  I guess I just can't eat that much rice and veggies.

So, we didn't do much this weekend.  I think even if I hadn't overloaded on rice and veggies we wouldn't have gone anywhere great.  We're coming up on the next payday and are trying to not be broke by the time it gets here.  Also, the boys seem to be happy just to have all four of us together here playing with their toys or going to Happy City, which we did this afternoon.  I think we will save our adventures for when Mamma gets here four weeks from today!  Nicholas will start school one week from tomorrow so that will be some drama to write about I'm sure.  I'm keeping my finger's crossed that it all goes smoothly, which is probably unrealistic.  I'm hoping I don't know my kid as well as I think I do and he will absolutely love it.  Dream on, Jan!

I must wish my sister, Andy, a Happy 29th Birthday (yesterday).  I hope you had a great time away for the night!  And, we will see you and everyone else three months from now.  This week we are going to book our tickets home and if everything goes as planned we will be on our way in no time.  It's hard to believe we are at this point.  The time, for most days, is flying by.  Of course, we still can't believe we are in China.  Go figure!

I hope everyone reading this has a great week.  I believe the provincial exhibition will be going on in Bible Hill so go and have a corn on the cob, a loose turkey burger and hot, salty fries, some cotton candy, a Scotburn ice cream or a candy apple for me.  Not that I would eat any of that if I was there, but it's nice to think about everyone else enjoying it.  Later tater!
