I am arguing with the girls this morning. It is raining very hard this morning. They are wanting to leave for the festival already because we are supposed to be there to sign in for the parade by 9:30. I've told Merkie that if it doesn't stop raining she and I are not riding in the parade. That didn't go over very well. As sick as we have both been these past two weeks, I just will not sit out in the rain for the two hours that it take to line up and go through the parade. She'll just have to call me a "mean mommy"
