A Look On the Bright Side.

The rain taps on the window, the sky is dead and grey, I explain to my children that we can't go out today, No walking to the local shop to buy the boring food the co-op where it's overpriced and all the staff are rude, The t.v's on a children's show and out the music blares, we have this on so often that we should have bought some shares I change the childrens nappies and then I get them dressed the youngest is quite willing though the eldest not impressed the fire burns in the fireplace and the lamp lights up the room a bright and cheery setting like a beacon in the gloom I look around at my kids, playing and squealing with glee and despite all the rain of the miserable day, there's no place I'd rather be!!
