Today

The weather we have had this Spring is hideous...and that might be an understatement. At least we are not faced with the terrible flooding in other states. We have had rain, rain, rain, and cold. It's been the coldest Spring in 80 some years...since they started recording weather! It's dark and depressing and I REALLY want the kids to be able to play outside. Next week is the last week of school for Tuba. Mr. P was done as of last week. We have lots of time in each day to fill and not too many options until the sun comes out. I mean for major energy burning activities! The boys will start swim lessons but that is only a blip on the schedule each week. Hubby leaves for Ethiopia in 13, YES 13 days!!! I really hope the sun comes out while he is gone so the boys and I can fill our time playing outside (or me sitting and watching them play). It's too hard, actually impossible, to take the three boys to the park or any public place by myself as Tuba will go in one direction and then the other two will go the opposite direction! We sometimes play at the local school playground since we are the only ones there I can easily see all three at once. Tuba will be doing summer school but it's only 1.5 hours a day for two weeks. Not much...but it does help him burn some energy. He really misses school during the breaks.
Hubby has the next 6 days off and we will be madly getting the last things done for his trip and the babies arriving. Then he works 5 days and leaves! He works 12 hour shifts so it is nice that he gets a bunch of days off in a row...not so nice when he is working them back to back to back though. Tonight we are going on a date.....YAHOO! We are actually going to a friend's b-day party but it will be a nice date for us. I can't wait to put on a cute dress and go....only 9 more hours....and counting.
