It has been a wet week.
Which is funny since it is the dry season and the “dead of winter” here.
My mom got up with me yesterday to pack a lunch for Mo and I. (I suspect my mother is suffering from a mild case of empty nest since Deb and James moved out and indulging by spoiling me… I am not complaining!) She mentioned that it had been raining all night and didn’t look like it was going to stop anytime soon. This was a particular concern for her because she wanted to do some laundry but claimed that my “Dryer is broken”. (My dryer being the sun. I have to line dry everything. And it was a rainy day. “Broken dryer”… hahahaha… funny mommy!)
I told her not to worry and that, yes it IS in fact the dry season and that as soon as the sun came out in an our or two the rain would burn off and her “Dryer” would once again be in working order. I then left to go have coffee with the Aunties like I do every work day (and many Saturdays as well these days).
I sat in the coffee shop with Pisa and told her that I assured my mother the rain would burn off soon. Pisa agreed with me… the sun would surely burn off. And Pisa is right about everything else soooo I felt much better about my proclamation.
It then proceeded to rain ALL DAY.
I felt like an idiot.

But hey I have a Mommy and Daddy here visiting so I am still a lucky girl… and with all this rain lately… A lucky duck.
