Goes Well with Rain
It’s 8:20am and the sky is raining down, well, rain, upon the earth. It’s wonderfully dark and dreary, and the sound of the rain falling and the thunder crashing create the ideal white noise for a nap.
Today is the perfect kind of day for going back to bed. It’s the perfect setting for watching movies in bed or perhaps getting in a few chapters of that trashy romance novel you’ve been reading. Don’t waste a ton of time cooking today. Grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup will compliment today’s laid-back feel and will satisfy nearly everyone’s taste buds. After lunch, snuggle up for some more down time with the family. Bring some of the kids’ favorite books into bed… maybe some crayons and a coloring book as well. Put on the Terrible Twos and tell silly stories. When all that fun has tuckered the kid(s) out, let them crash on your bed while you and the spouse take some time to enjoy the quiet. Tonight, cook a light meal. Maybe just a salad and some sandwiches. Eat ice cream. Or chocolate. Both. End the night with a bath for the kids and a nice hot shower for the adults. Crawl back into bed. Sleep.
Or, you can come to my house and spend the entire day packing. Your pick.
