Rain, rain, quit making me worry…

The rain that wasn’t supposed to happen today until 3 is now forecast for noon.
The rain tomorrow that was supposed to go from noon to two now looks to run from noon until after dark.
I don’t like unexpected rain increases.
My brother made Sam a Photoshopped card with Sam’s face on Indiana Jones’ body, and he sent him the movie theme mp3. Sam is bouncing like a maniac, humming the music and grinning; Gabe is ticked because he can’t hear through the headphones on Sam’s head (and I refuse to put the theme on neverending repeat on the computer). I had mentioned to Eric that I should dig out my old Walkman for Gabe, but that’s not going to pacify him for long if he also wants the same music that Sam has. 
Life is hard when you’re three.
I was chatting with our neighbor yesterday, and I apologized for the tantrums that have to be loud enough for the whole street to hear. He laughed and said that his mother, who lives with him, was saying, “Is that Sam?” on one occasion, and he told her, “No, that’s the little guy!” Gabe is a terror with the screaming. I don’t know what he hopes to accomplish by keeping it up, considering that every time he hits fever pitch, I put him in his room, telling him that he’s not being safe anymore. But he howls, kicks, tells me that he’s going to “bounce you out the window” and that he’s “never going to speak with you, never again!” He turns bright red, sweats, waves his fists, and makes a very impressive amount of noise, and it’s really getting old, fast. (Getting?) At this point, I’d just about gladly trade it for the sassy sarcasm that age four brings. At least that doesn’t cause the entire population of a superstore to turn and search to see who’s disemboweling a child.
Just a to-do list after the link; feel free to skip.
*Sweep and mop kitchen and dining
*Sweep and mop bathroom
*Laundry - colds
*Vacuum
*Pot Eric’s pepper plants
*Dust entertainment center (puzzles upstairs?)
See? Told you that was it.
