Quiet days are nice after things have been crazy busy. I have also learned over the years that you can tell what the weather is going to do by the behavior and loudness of kids. I guess my grandmother used to say "they've got a storm loaded" by the behavior and loudness of her kids or the kids at church. You know what, you can tell the weather by the behavior or kids and animals! They can't help it, it just affects them.
So the fact that we are on day 2-1/2 of gray skies and rain has the students a bit quiet, which I'm not complaining about. But as a mom you always wonder what is going on when the kids are really quiet. That's usually when they are getting in the most trouble! This is also true!
Before all this rain and gray skies the kids were wound for sound (I blamed it on homecoming) and I wondered about the weather. But a heavy thunderstorm that dumped an inch in less than 20 minutes AND made dismissing school around 15 later than it should be was more the reason why!
It is homecoming week and with the dress up days things get a bit wacky and out of sorts because of all of this not normal stuff going on. Other than the one student wearing flippers and the slapping sounds they make as he goes down the hallway, it's pretty quiet around here on "beach day". The weather is far from beach-like. And I'm going to credit the weather with the subdued behavior. We can't go out. It has rained-A LOT! And it is time for the sun to shine but tomorrow would be a good time for that to happen.
So a quiet kingdom is a good thing, unless it is too quiet. Then you know there is trouble!
Positive thought of the day: Rain is a good thing. Too much rain...not so much. But the sun will shine again!
