Another rainy day

There are times where rainy days are welcome and lovely.  I think these are mostly in the spring, when the sun is shining through the raindrops.  When there are rainbows and warm breezes.  When bunnies and wood nymphs frolic through the cheerful mists.

There are times when rainy days are welcome and lovely.  November is not one of those times.  It's raining out there.  It's cold and dark.  As if the days weren't cold and dark enough without the rain.  So I'm a little cranky today.

Nate left for a week-long business trip this morning.  Even Laura seemed to know something was up.  She cried all morning, and refused to be put down.  I had to sneak out of her classroom after I took her to day care this morning.  It's like the whole world is crying.
