Yesterday's weather was SO weird, wasn't it? When I woke up it was raining...then at lunchtime, the sun was shining. Kim and I were about to go to town yesterday, we stepped out on the porch and WHOOSH! The sky caved in or something! It was pouring down rain and hailing! Not little hail either. We proceeded to town (getting soaked in the process of getting into the car - it was quite humorous!) and drove out of the rain, into the sunshine! Weird, weird weather.
We checked out the Wellness Center yesterday...and we're so excited to join it! They have an Olympic size pool, a hot tub and a hydrotherapy pool (anyone know what that is?). They have a bunch of exercise equipment, of course, and aerobic classes on certain days of the week. However, most of them are when I'm working and EARLY in the morning (for me) like 8:15 and 9:00! lol But the part that really excited me yesterday was that they told me I could bring the kids and they could swim in the pool too! :) Its five dollars per extra family member to join...I assume I'll have to pay that for Seth and Lily too, even though they'd just be using the pool. Still, I think that's very reasonable. I'm excited!
You can also bring guests sometimes too I think. So does anyone want to go swimming? :)
We're going to join this weekend I think, (after our husbands get paid lol- they're going to join too, by the way.)
Last night I consumed a whole book in one night. I just couldn't put it down. Kim handed it over to me yesterday after she had read it. Its actually a youth book. Its called "Letters from the Inside" by John Marsden, about two teenage girls writing to each other, seemingly innocently, but (as you can tell from the title) one of them is in jail, but is not honest about it upfront. Its in epistolary form (its all written as letters, their letters to one another) which is part of what makes it so engaging...and hard to put down. Anyway, the ending...I won't give it away, in case anyone ever reads it, but it has just left me feeling SO disturbed! I just keep thinking about it! Have any of you ever read a book like that, one that just wouldn't leave you?
Today Lily's daycare is taking a field trip! They're going to the RR Festival (has it even started yet?) to ride the little train that goes round and round, and to eat hot dogs or something I guess. She was SO excited about it. I think Seth was wishing he could go too, but I told him we'd all be going Saturday, so he'd get to go too. I HOPE it doesn't rain that afternoon!
How did it get to be Thursday again, by the way? These weeks are going by so quickly. Hope you all have a good day!! :)

I believe the RR festival did start today. I don't know what time. It is supposed to rain Saturday evening. Maybe it'll hold off for ya'll!

Have a good day too!

I think what I told you that I heard about the RR festival starting Wednesday was wrong. This morning I heard that the group that I thought was playing last night is playing tonight. Are you confused now?
It's such a beautiful day today. I wish it could be like this on Saturday.
Love, Mom

I wish I'd thought to go by there yesterday when I was in town, but it never came to mind. I hope its nice weather Sat. too!
Mom, have you ever heard of that book, "Letters on the Inside"? or the author, John Marsden?

The name sounds familiar. I looked him up and saw that he's Australian. We don't have anything by him here, so I don't know where I've heard of him.
