Not supposed to be here

Well, the two oldest nieces (Jayde and Aubree) are visiting this week. We had planned on taking them to Six Flags today. I requested time off of work, got money from the bank, and dropped Mihaela and Juliet off at the in-law's place last night for them to take care of. I woke up this morning at 5:00 AM and got a shower so we could make our 6 AM departure time. At 5:30 AM Erin woke up and got the two kids up as well and they started showering. I made coffee. I was standing by the coffee pot hopefully awaiting my first cup of my drug of choice when, at about 5:45 AM Erin comes into the kitchen and opens the door...to the sounds of pouring rain and the booms of thunder...

We turned on the Weather Channel and happened to catch a live shot of Atlanta and saw people running through the rain. The weather man predicted showers throughout the whole south-east for the entire day. So, we cancelled our trip.

So, instead of enjoying the thrill of a rollercoaster, I am twirling around in my swivel chair. Instead of feasting on turkey legs and funnel cake, I am surviving on a stale honeybun from the vending machine. Instead of playing, I am working.

I'm just not supposed to be here today. *sigh*
