It's Raining - No School!

No school today! There is no snow…there is no thunder storm…there is no lightening… there is no monsoon…there is no hurricane…there is no wind…there is no typhoon…there is no tidal wave…there is no deathly heat…there is just a small rain shower. BUT because there is no such thing as an umbrella or rain coat there and my principle doesn’t want to get wet walking to school and she doesn’t want the kids to either – there is no school. 10 minutes after school is called off the sun clears and the sky is blue. At 8:30 though, the sky was dim and a few rain drops sprinkled down to dampen the hand of Movie as she stuck her hand out of the door way. “No school today, its going to be a wet one,” she said. So – I sit here, now able to catch up on reading a letter, writing and all of the things I never manage to get enough time to do otherwise. I kind of like it! I think I am going to bake cookies with all of the older girls that came to school anyways today – only to find out that there wasn’t any. Then, when we are finished we will all curl up and watch a movie. Almost like the states – when Whit and I would have nothing to do on a Sunday morning when it was raining outside – and we would lay on her couch…eat food all day…and watch movies. It is practically the same thing here today, only: its Tuesday…the food won’t be quite the same…the kitchen we cook in wont be quite the same…there won’t be any Whit…and the TV won’t be quite as large. Oh well, I can pretend. ☺
