One of Those

It was one of those nights.  Not because of The Princess, but because of the weather.

Just after The Hubbs had gone to bed, my folks called to tell us about a tornado warning (good thing, too, since we no longer get The Weather Channel here...and the TV wasn't even on).  The whole family trudged downstairs to the basement, where The Girls lounged on the bed, The Princess played with some beanie babies, and The Hubbs and I tried not to let our eyes slam shut.

The storm that triggered the warning was a pretty loud one...we heard lots and lots of thunder, even in our concrete barricade.  Though there was a huge line of them coming through, the warning was over after the first storm...leaving us with just a measly little tornado watch until 2:00 this morning.

We all headed off to bed, and as far as I can tell, The Princess wasn't jarred awake by any of the thunder-boomers all night.  I guess it helps that she didn't go to bed until about 11:30, huh?  She's still asleep right now, in fact.

I didn't fare so well.  I kept waking up to bright flashes of lightning and loud claps of thunder.  That wouldn't be so bad - I love thunderstorms - except today was one of those mornings where I actually had to be out of bed at a certain time.  No worries, though...I'm ready to go, and even had enough time to type this, so it looks like I'm golden.

Hopefully The Hubbs and The Princess can get a little more sleep this morning while our garden and lawn soak up this glorious rain.
