So much rain.

We are about to have to go swimming.

There is so much rain.. I am just sick of rain. All ball games have been cancelled for the day - this is a great thing as I am cleaning the house. The bad part is that by tomorrow, you won't be able to tell. It is almost a waste of time. Unfortunatelly, child protective services doesn't feel that way.

In other news, tomorrow is Mother's Day. I really enjoy this day because my children enjoy this day. As with all holidays, I could take 'em or leave 'em. But the kids enjoy making me things, and Emma is looking forward to making me breakfast tomorrow morning. Last year, she made it and I got up and got in the shower. It made her a little upset. This year, she has already told me to stay in bed. I love my kids so much.

Tripp on Mothers Day - 2 years ago. Looking at his belly button - he didn't know I was watching!

Last night, Dave and I went (last minute) and did the Ta-Ta Trot; this is a 5 K to raise money for Breast Cancer research. We didn't run - we walked together. I appreciated him doing this with me. After my bad week, it really helped to clear my mind. I have actually walked 7 miles this week. When I have lots going on, I tend to clean house really fast and furious, or I go walk.

Please keep my sweet Tripper Do in your prayers;

I know that God will take care of us regardless of any outcome.
