Rainy Day

I know most people hate gloomy days. But I actually sort of enjoy them. It gives me a chance to catch up on inside chores and not hate the fact that I'm not outside enjoying the sun. So far this morning I've cleaned up the kitchen, vacuumed, and folded the last of the laundry. All while chasing my son away from the houseplants, dog bowls, trashcan, and laundry area (where he enjoys pulling out all the dryer sheets). You'd think our house would be completely toddler-proofed by now. But there are just some things you can't do away with. We have no other place for our trashcan than sitting out. And I'm sure Zoe would not appreciate having her food and water bowls hidden away in a cabinet....

Another rainy day side effect, my child is already napping by 9:45. Of course, that could also be because he currently has a bit of a bug. High fever over the weekend, not eating much (which is VERY rare for him), and some other health-related things that no one wants to read about. But his cough is probably the most annoying thing for him. Poor guy. I'm sure he'll fine in a couple days though.

The summer wedding season has officially begun. We attended my good friend Leah's wedding this past weekend. I was honored to be one of her bridesmaids and I was very impressed with general calmness. There were quite a few last-minute things to do and she handled them all with much less stress than I expected. The ceremony and reception were beautiful and Leah looked gorgeous. A wonderful day overall and I was so happy to share in Leah and Brian's special day :)

I'm trying to get back into the Wicked series right now. I've read Wicked several times, but haven't gone past that one. And I'm borrowing a friend's copy of Son of A Witch. I started it last night and am looking forward to getting into it. Gregory Maguire's writing and imagination always impresses me. They're good books that aren't just "fluff" if anyone's interested.
