The weather was absolutely beautiful today... and the kids, pent up for an entire winter, were dying to get out. I let them, and they have been outside all afternoon. Hooray! It's nice to not have them inside complaining of boredom and begging for one more episode of Fairly Oddparents. The weather people are saying it's going to get cold again, which doesn't surprise me since it IS February and it IS Iowa. But it's the briefest beginnings of the Spring to come, and it can't come soon enough for me. As it is, we're not going to get much of a summer break because of the snow days we had to take, and because the school board voted to start school earlier in the fall next year. We're only getting eight weeks instead of ten. I know, quit complaining. At least I get summers off.
In the CD player this afternoon: U2, How To Dismantle An Atom Bomb. I like it. I've been a U2 fan for many years now. Something about their music is just transcendent. Some of their songs through the years just make my hair stand on end, and I can't really tell you why. SoulFire is doing a cover of one of U2's classics in our upcoming concert, and I can't tell you how thrilled I am to be doing it. It energizes me just thinking about it.
