The warm spring air we've been enjoying these last few days got into an argument with some leftover cold winter air (Canadian, I think), scattering black clouds all over the place and dropping precipitation everywhere. Naturally, this is the day that James and his best friend were planning on going to Craig's Cruisers. I hope they don't mind sticking with the indoor activities; I'm not sure if they open the outdoor ones (miniature golf; gas-motor go-carts) in the rain.
With so many people gone on vacation this week, it's difficult to get anything done at work. I'm not very well motivated when the office is so ... empty. My mind tends to wander onto other, far more interesting things. Like ... what are the kids doing now? Is the house still standing? Is there a flood in the backyard? Do I need to start building an ark?
Many of the regularly scheduled activities have been postponed this week. Music lessons. Scout meetings. Teen devotionals.
The high school and junior high groups at church arranged other activities to take the place of the normal devotionals. Tuesday, the high school kids are getting together at the teen minister's house for food & games. Wednesday, the junior high school kids are going bowling.
We were hoping to go on an overnight family trip to the Upper Peninsula this week, but due to financial restrictions - and the need to save for future trips - we may have to put it off for awhile. It's a bit spendy for these kinds of trips when the family is so large. Besides, the cats would miss us.
