If I could leave comments on a few things going on today, here's what I would say:

1. Em, you'll be fine in your new class at daycare. Moving up is a good thing. Hitting is STILL against the rules.

2. Someone, please figure out why the storms disintegrate over Rocky Mount and why the rain will not fall. My husband is going insane from worrying and fretting about why the rain doesn't come when the radar says it's here.

3. The mean nasty commenters that leave comments on our news stories don't matter, people. There are probably five of these people, total. Don't let them get you riled up.

4. The parents that went to see their kids play in the baseball tournament at Rocky Mount Sports Complex this weekend deserve a medal AND a cash prize.

5. I wish there was a mid-year tax refund.

6. The Rocky Mount Farmer's Market on Peachtree Street is the place to be on Saturday mornings.

7. If you go to the Farmer's Market with a young child that is strangely strong, don't leave her stroller too close to the tables. Especially the tables with tablecloths on them. With nice juicy tomatoes on top.

8. Thomas, 10, thinks next time I help some organization plan an event with food, it should be catered by the new Sheetz store.

9. Last week I could barely understand my two year-old nephew Luke, and this morning he clearly told me, "I have a Cadillac," describing his Hot Wheel of the Day. Pretty cool!

10. I thought about accessorizing today with a fashion scarf - and then decided I may look like an idiot with a scarf on.

Luke, 2. His vocabulary is taking off -  with every Hot Wheel he gets!
