a favor.

if anyone is friends with mother nature, would you please ask her to stop the rain at 460 linden street? it has now been raining for 7 days straight. the mist was light enough for us to walk to school this morning without messing up ada's super fancy hair (it was PICTURE day!), but now it is full on raining again. shreveport is not filled with spectacular indoor activities, so we would really appreciate the sun coming out.

on a different note, mr. lias took his first (in the past few weeks) longer-than-40-minute nap this morning. hip hip hooray! ada was at school and it was a full 80 minutes of bliss. so blissful that i actually did all the dishes, unloaded the dishwasher, vacuumed all the rugs, swiffered, wet swiffered and cleaned the windows on all the glass doors to the patio. is that lame-- no, it was wonderful because i did it all by myself.

i have no cute pictures for this post, well, because my children have mostly been monsters lately. monsters that reza and i created so i take full responsibility. but monsters none the less. like i said, send the sunshine our way.
