Rain, rain go away? Well, maybe not, but maybe slow down just a little. We needed it but not all at once. Whew! Although it was very nice to listen to it this morning. I was able to open my doors and windows (since for once, it wasn't raining sideways ;-D) and just listen as it hit the trees. It was so soothing. Sometimes it's nice to just be able to lay there and enjoy nature. You should try it sometime. It's very relaxing.

Relaxing was just what I needed too. My son graduated Friday night and the week leading up to it was very hectic. I don't remember high school being so busy back when I was attending. It seems like more and more, kids are just tremendously busy. Maybe it's to keep them out of trouble, but whatever it is, it sure makes for busy times.

Then there was the after graduation party. Oh my! The senior parents have been planning this all year long (which also has made my son's senior year busy for me). We throw all the graduates an all night party with lots of games and food and even door prizes for each student with the hopes of keeping them away from other pursuits for the night. The only drawback is, the parents have to stay up all night long. I don't know about you, but I am not a night person. I value my sleep! It was worth it though. Everyone had a good time and stayed safe so a little lack of sleep wasn't too bad but it will take me a while to recover. Anyway, congratulations to all those graduates who made it though school. Good luck with your lives!
