If you have kids, you know how maddening it can get on a rainy day. Boredom sets in and the chanting of "What can I do?" only makes things worse! Try making a rainy day box to ward off cabin fever. Pick up odds and ends at yard sales or on clearance throughout the year and add them to the box. When a rainy day (or sick day) arrives, allow each child to choose an item from the box. It gives them something new and fun to do and will give you a rest. Before you know it, they'll be watching the weather, looking for rain!
