Dear God. Please make it rain. Sincerely, Me.

[wivabef]

I'm being entirely selfish.

I know our area is afflicted by drought conditions.
I know fresh rain is vital to the health of the Bay.
I know farmers want rain.

I want rain because I'm sick to death of field hockey.

There. I have said it.

What was supposed to be a practice a week and a game a week for each girl has turned into two practices a week and two games a week for each girl. Hence, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, I am at some field explaining what obstruction is to confused parents.

Tomorrow, God, please make it rain.

Just one day... just in the morning. I need to wash out a 9:30 and noon game.

Thank you, God, in advance for your consideration.

If you need to involve other deities in this transaction, that is okay by me.

Dear God,

Given the number of people complaining about leaks in my building, please send the next few months' worth of rain to wivabef.

Dear God:

If you don't think the rain is good enough please send snow.

Sincerely,

Another concerned parent.

(BTW, I attended 8th grade football game in the snow and wind last Saturday!)

All the rain can go to Bawlmer afaic. At least until Monday.

Dear God,

If You send snow, please send me to Florida. I promise to be good. Mostly.

Love,
Me

I can empathize, because my hubby was the President of the Soccer Club for a few years, and we had two boys on teams.

Everybody needs a little break once in awhile.

Dear God,
Please feel free to wring out my backyard in order to provide Wivabef some rain. I would swear I saw a duck diving for dinner back there earlier today. I would also be willing to give up the 2:30am thunderstorms that bring my family of 5 so close together in my bed.

Thank you for your consideration,
Soggy in MN

Ugh!

[mtomm[$]]

God answers prayers. He just got the location mixed up.

[wivabef]

Dear God...

That snow would have been nice in Maryland, but I understand and thank you for instead providing me with an ear infection, a sinus infection and strep so I could beg out of today's activities.

However, you forgot about the scientists who created cephelsporins (however it's spelled) so that I'm feeling kind of sort of better. That, combined with your gift of guilt, and I'm packing the water bottles, mouthguards, shin guards, sun screen, and straw hat for another round of games today.

At least the strep canceled out the soup making I was supposed to do yesterday for the church soup sale (funny, the woman's club did not want 17 quarts of soup from a freshly diagnosed case of strep.)

I gave 17 $5 gift cards to Panera bread instead, which was conveniently next to the Nighttime Care Center.

I would ask for you to stop sending rain to MJ and the Leslies, but I am concerned for their health. I'll let them do their own praying.

:-)

[mtomm[$]]

Sorry about that!

[thinkerlady[$]]

Dear God,
Just cool off the temps. please. Rain will be nice, but we have had enough of the hot weather. It seems to be getting warmer, instead of cooler. Maybe you are confused??

Philadelphia

[wivabef]

Me again, God.

Okay. 92 degrees on Oct. 7? I am watching for locusts!

Both of my girls are goalies ... one pushed through the heat, the other, nearly passed out (thank you for the Persian Gulf War nurse/coach... who got her to the shade and cooled down with water and ice packs right quick!)

I'm burnt to a crisp... forgot about that "exposure to sun" thing on one of my medicines!

We're expecting 87 tomorrow...

87!!

Ack!

are you kidding?? more heat! no winter!

(my, we are a demanding bunch, aren't we?)

[hadassahchana[$]]

Dear God,

Leslie and I could be neighbours at the warm end of the country while You could send Angie the snow/cool weather she wants. That would keep at least some of us happy!

[thinkerlady[$]]

I don't want snow, I just want cooler temps. It is 90+ today, and probably 90% humidity. My school is NOT air conditioned. It has been a sauna in there. I teach 7th and 8th grades remember???? Hot bodies. Ewwww.....

[Leslie2k]

Dear God,
I believe that I must have the next signs of the forthcoming appocolypse. One could argue that the millions of boxelder bugs on my house and the mosquitoes that the rain and heat have brought on could be seen as the locusts. I also suspect that my children are carrying the plague, disguised as a "simple cold". It is highly contagious. I speak from experience.

God, as you know, I am opening a new "bullseye" store this week. If you are planning on ending the world, could you do it after 5pm Tuesday? I'd hate to have worked this much and never get the chance to see the fruits of my labor...

Thanks for your consideration,
Sniffling, soggy and exhausted in MN

[wivabef]

Dear God:

Thank you for not ending the world.

Thank you, too, for cutting the heat a bit. Yesterday's 94 degrees was very hard to deal with.

Pumpkin picking and apple picking was a little weird in Monday's 92 degree temps.

But, I see a break, and I am thankful.

Now, about the boxelder bugs in Minnesota...

[lynnzop[$]]

Dear God,

I'm sorry I didn't see this thread earlier, because I would have spoken to You here.

Please, please, please don't bring any snow to Minnesota before October 21. I have my reasons. You can dump whatever you want on them after that day.

Sincerely
Daughter who has planned all kinds of stuff for the 20th that is dependent on NO SNOW

[phoenixx]

Dear g-d, WTH is a bullseye store?

[mjfrombuffalo[$]]

[phoenixx]

oh. LOL.
