What it was like prior to the 40 days and 40 nights of rain we seem to be stuck in?? Because I don't. If you remember, please refresh my memory.
Last night was spent in my parent's basement from 5pm until 12am because of a tiny little tornado warning Madison county was in (the nerve). I'm terrified and fascinated all at the same time when it comes to crazy a$$ed weather. We've all seen the movie Twister (like a thousand times, it's just that good), and we were all terrified and fascinated by this movie thinking 'dam movie, that will never happen here'. Yeah, so I might have beat the kids running to mom and dad's house screaming 'save yourself, save yourself and (maybe) get out of my way'. (I made sure they made it before I shut the garage door, I'm a good mom!!). My BFF and her 3 kids headed there too as they are in the same predicament as we are, no basement, so at least we had some company. So, instead of taking a spot under the pool table (yes, I can still fit even if it makes me want to puke in my mouth at the thought of the small space), I let the kids hang out there and WENT BACK OUT SIDE where it sounded like God was throwing rocks at us. We had hail, crazy wind and all the while I'm trying to spot something, anything...Toto could have flown by and I wouldn't have seen him...I might have taken one to the noggin trying to catch a glimpse of ANYTHING.
My BFF and I waited until the FIRST storm died down and made it back to our houses just in time for storm #2 to hit. I woke up again at 3am when storm #3 hit. Needless to say, I was pretty worthless at work today. Longer story short, it's happening all over again tonight and tomorrow morning I'll wake up to 5 inches of water in my cellar instead of the 2 that are already hanging out in there...neat-o.
I will say one thing, God knows how to put on one heck of a light show!! Fantastic!!
Luv to you all,

Last night when I was up monitoring the storm wondering when to go to the basement (do I wait until Ed tells me too?), it made me think about being little and how cool I thought it was when mom and dad would wake us up in the middle of the night. So exciting...and scary at the same time. Good to hear your still living those moments - ha ha!
