Beneath the Wraps

After my post yesterday, the rain fell off and on. When I left the house to go pick up Jenna, the sky was pouring down water from the sky.  POURING.  I had to return to the house for different shoes so my feet wouldn't get wet. I had grabbed Jenna's umbrella and coat as that morning we had both left the house with just sweatshirts and I knew she wouldn't be prepared.  The spine came out of her umbrella as I was putting it into my bag. Roland had forgotten his phone, but I can text him through an texting system that he set up through his computer at work.  I told him that it was pouring and asked if he could meet us at the school.  It would be an hour wait, but still.  Jenna and I are both okay with the rain, really.  But she is currently taking swim lessons, and I didn't know if the weather would interfere with the bus schedule running on time. When I exited the bus less than 20 minutes later, the sky was barely drizzling.  No one in Salt ...

         Just as Roland is about to leave this morning, Jenna informs me that she has drama club.   Her drama club has been meeting each Wednesday morning for about the last two months.   But I had forgotten.          She was dressed minus her shoes.   I was still in my pajamas.   Roland doesn’t like to drop her off so early and have her wait in the dark by herself.            It does seem odd that we would have him drop us off at 6:30 – an hour before drama club starts – but we have to leave about 5 minutes after Roland just in order to get on a bus and still have time to walk from the bus stop to the front of the school – which is what we had to do this morning.          Actually it was more like ten minutes.   I did try to hurry myself as Jenna stood a...

Jenna told Roland that I wanted an umbrella for Mothers’ Day. It is a Beautiful Umbrella and big enough for both me and Jenna. I could have used it two days before Mothers’ Day but have not had a need for it since. The sun has been beating down on the earth.   But there has been a cool breeze that   makes it all bearable. The sun is playing hide-and-go-seek as the clouds pass over when I look out my back window the sky tells me that I will need an umbrella when I leave the house to go get Jenna. When I look out the front window, the sun laughs at me and tells me it will pound down and make my palms sweat as I hold my umbrella and that it will be a burden to carry. I end up putting my purple umbrella in my back pack – just in case.   I never needed it.    Not for rain anyway. I did attempt using it as a shield  to block out the sun - only a short time though  as I was afraid the wind would...
