Laughing in the Rain!

A thunderous welcome to spring break occurred this morning. I have always liked the rain. Listening to the raindrops drumming against the windows. Its a force of nature that I don't to see and hear too much. It hasn't rained as much as it should this year. 

My son is on spring break vacation. He's 9 and so instead of planning trips to parks and zoos and other outside places plans changed for the first two days of his vacation. We have to find some fun indoor not boring and not stressful for mom to do with him. 

So, through the breaks in between the storms I did something that I haven't done in years.  I followed my son outside and we found the biggest  most best, to quote my son, rain puddle on the block and then I did it. I made the biggest splash and the best splash I have ever made in the history of splashes. My son made a pretty good one too. It was such a freeing experience is the only way I can describe it.  For that one moment today I didn't feel like a 50 year menapausal woman with hot flashes two hundred times per minute and joint pains and occasional mood swings. For once I felt pretty good jumping in puddles and laughing in the rain.
