A wet morning to volunteer

This morning, Andrew and I had to be up at 4:15A.M.  I often joke that I think it should be illegal to be up that early.  No one should ever have to be awake when there is still a "4" as the first number on a clock.  The high school band needed some volunteers though, and we had signed up for the early shift.  The nice thing is that I knew we would be finished at 9.  It turned out we didn't really get to do much because the weather has been awful.  The storms started being seen about 6 (we had to be there at 5) and everything ended up being delayed by about two hours, so we left shortly after things got started.  Since we had been up so early, I didn't feel guilty about leaving, except that it really began to pour right after we left.  I can only imagine how what and miserable things are out there...but I'm home and dry.

It's really a great day for this though.  Robert will work all day (although I suspect he'll get off early), and the younger two kids don't go back to school until Wednesday, so the three of us don't have much to worry about tomorrow.  Since the students are there, Andrew doesn't have to worry about lesson planning, and although Robert has homework, it's nothing major.  In addition, there is Olympics on all day and the house is clean, so it's a great day to be "rained in"!
