it’s raining buckets!

I took Izzy to school today… in the rain.

Stopped off at Emelia’s school … in the rain.

Visited the library… in the rain!

I squeaked all the way through the library.

When I came out of the library the sky opened up and it poured on my head.  I was wearing flip-flops, because the top of my foot is still injured and hurts when I put real shoes on.  So, I was running through ankle high water in flip flops.  My jeans were soaked to my knees.

I went back to get Izzy… in the rain.

We came out of school and the sky opened again and poured on us as I tried to get her and the stroller in the car.  I am now looking like the equivalent of a wet rat.  Very wet!  Dry clothes, warm socks and a blanket are in our near future.

I sang this song to Izzy while we were driving home from school.

Rain rain go away, come again some other day. Rain rain go away, me and Izzy want to play!

time travel tuesday ~ fight edition!

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

You’re probably thinking to yourself, “why would anyone want to go back and remember a fight?” Well, I’ll tell you… When we were at the anniversary dinner Saturday evening the topic of a last fight before the big wedding came up. Seemed like everyone had one. I guess getting ready to be married is a stressful time, causing all sorts of fighting (sorry Lauren… I’m sure you and Ted won’t fight before your wedding). So, how about it? Did you and your beloved have a blowout before exchanging vows? Come back and tell us about it, or brag about how sweet you were to each other and how you never had a single fight (before marriage of course!)…

I’ll share the fight I shared with the group at the party… Not that there were more than one, well maybe there were. Anyway, Matt had made only a couple of requests regarding the actual wedding. He wanted to wear a black tux, red tie and red cumber bun, and he wanted a particular song played. I had to over rule the tux request because a) it was the 80’s and b) teal and mauve were the colors of the wedding! Yep, I made him wear an ivory tux and his groomsmen wore teal ties and cumber buns…

He sorta didn’t find out about my color choices until the day before the wedding. He also didn’t find out I didn’t get the song he requested worked out that day too. It got ugly. I was all like, “I’m sorry… I didn’t think you cared that much…” and he was all like, “I only asked for two things, just two things!”

We obviously made up, and will be married 19 years this June (17th)…
