I'm enjoying the rain.
Most people think that a beautiful day is a sunny one and I did so back then but then I realized it doesn't have to.
Sorry for a blurry picture. It's hard to take a good one in this kind of weather.
Last Sunday I stayed at home to spend my work rest day because the husband went to an amateur boxing tournament in the next barangay and I didn't come with him. It was only me and my four-year old son since my daughters went with their granny to church.
And he hasn't weaned himself yet and had been ever more needy and clingy and whatever a toddler does.
After a while I got him settled and did the laundry which I planned over the week but has caught me over. Also, while waiting for the washing machine to do it's job, I went deep cleaning with our clothes to dump all those torn and stained fabrics as well as find the kids uniforms and get ready for the next school year that would start next week.
I banned my son from using phone which made him so bored but went on his coloring instead. It was very dusty
since we lived a long the highway and our house is not that close to get rid of the dust that lands on our things.
Two hours after I hanged the clothes I washed, I was getting ready with my son to put him to sleep on his afternoon nap but all of a sudden, the sky darkened and just as I went to the clothes, the rain started and beat me.
But boy, the rain was a player and stopped as soon as it started! My son even wanted to bathe in the rain but it's not raining anymore and we both decided to bath inside.
And just as when I thought the rain was gone, it poured out hard the leaves on our old roof was bad yet on my mum's house was worse sending my old sis busy getting the pails to catch the rain. Also, the rainwater came inside their house too and I didn't notice it until l after my son went to sleep and I was sorry I was not able to help my old sis. The husband and I wanted to change our roof but we could not swallow it when we knew mum needed it more and that made me want to have more money to help her. I feel bad for her.
Anyways, I took snaps of the rain from the broken gutter and anywhere I could, hoping for a good shot but my phone camera don't just can't get them good.
As I was listening to the sound of the rain falling on our roof, I really enjoyed it a lot knowing I am on my own, lying on my bed having a little rest from my chores and knowing that my family is safe wherever they are, and making my cup of coffee.
While outside taking pictures, I enjoyed the mist the wind carried, and feeling them on my skin knowing I am deeply loved and blessed.
Life is a roller coaster of happiness, excitement and disappointments but despite all that, always have the source of happiness from the people and things that you love!
This will be all for today, thanks you for your never ending support always!
