Wednesday Check-In

Fairly quiet day in the weather today. Some showers will be possible this evening, then some scattered showers and storms look like a good bet tomorrow. Due to the atmospheric profile aloft, it will be rather easy for any storms tomorrow afternoon to produce some hail.

The weekend will be great with lots of sun and highs in the 70s. A big warm-up is coming next week with highs returning to the 80s at least by Tuesday.

I mentioned in the previous blog post that I was thinking about taking the kids up to the mountains Monday. Well, due to the intense winds, I was leaning toward not going. Then, as I am in the other room Monday morning, I hear my wife say "Something's wrong with this faucet." Then I hear a loud POP. I said, "yep, something is definitely wrong now!" The pop was the sound of our kitchen faucet breaking. Even though this had occurred, I was determined to spend some time just me and the kids since I felt like I had hardly seen them for the past 5 days. So, off the four of us went to Lowe's to pick out a new faucet. After that, it was off to the mall to let the kids play and then walk around the mall some. Then it was off to McDonald's for lunch and to continue to let them play. We had a lot of fun. Monday evening the new faucet was put in.

My oldest daughter turns 4 this weekend, and we are having her party Saturday. So, I spent the day yesterday getting the house ready to host the party....cutting all of the grass, getting the swings ready to go, cleaning out the gutters (not really party-related, but I was on a roll). Busy day, and I was pretty tired afterward. But, there is nothing like getting a glass of tea and pulling the lawn chair up on the freshly-cut lawn.

Everyone have a great Wednesday evening!
