This was the view from WCR2 as I was leaving my house.
This was a funnel cloud that was calming down by the time I got out with the camera.
Here are two more funnel cloud just on the other side of the highway.

Kindergarten Graduation
Kindergarten graduation was last week. It was great! They sang a few songs and all said what they wanted to be when they grew up. My sweet little boy said he wants to be a knight because he wants to help the whole world.

One Thing I Can Count On...Change
Upon arriving at work last night, I was told to go into a team meeting by someone I don't even know. Then my coach yelled out that the team needed to finish up whatever call they were on and go into the meeting. When we were all gathered into the middle of our pod (a grouping of cubicles), we were told that the graveyard shift was ending and we were to put in our shift bids. We were then given a piece of paper with a list of shifts on it and were to put the shifts in order of our own personal preference. The papers are due back today when we get to work. For me, this was not a decision to take lightly. The time that I work affects the whole family. I brought the paper home and had John help me prioritize. I am so glad that he just sat with me and helped me make my choices by using, of all things, logic. Who would have thought to do that?
So now I will be losing my 1.00 per hour differential and I will have to find and pay for daycare. Hopefully, I will be able to find someone who can work with us for the summer. Hopefully, I will get my first or second choice so that I won't have to be away from my kids at horrible times of day. Hopefully, my body can get used to sleeping at night and not in the morning so I can work said shifts.
