Am I the only one not laughing?

The last 2 days during my normal running time, it started to rain as I was getting ready to head out. Both days, the rain had stopped by the time I was out of my post-workout out shower. Really Mother Nature? In a previous life, I would have checked the radar, looked to see if there was going to be a break in the rain anytime, and adjusted my schedule to accomidate a little more pleasant weather. In my new life, I get up at the crack of dawn to drop the cats off at the vet, come home to toddler that's just waken up and incredibly hungry. Get her fed and ready to head out the door to toddler class at the Little Gym. That wraps up just in time for me to grab a quick pre-run snack, call the vet back about the message they left on my voicemail, throw a load of laundry in before waking up my husband so I can get my 6 mile pace run in for the week and he can head to the gym before I have to head to work for the afternoon. After whining about the rain that had not been there when I was driving home from class just a few minutes before, I get a huge laugh from my husband when I get home, because the second I turned the corner, it starts to pour. Mother Nature is probably laughing along with him somewhere. No rain on my way to work. None again on my way home, when I stop at the grocery store, when I'm leaving the store, on my way to pick up the pets. Nope, just during that 2 hour window in my day that was my only decent slot to run. Nope, I'm not laughing.
