Rain + Shutdown = Lazy

You might not be able to tell from the photo, but all morning, it's really dark out and raining heavily. Since I am not a critical employee to the Minnesota state government, I have been on shutdown vacation the last two weeks. This week, I was busy taking the kids to fun places, but today it's been lovely to lay in my bed reading a wonderful book, listening to the rain, while my kids play on the computer. There's a deal in the making, so I'll probably be back to work next week.
