I just got home from work and there is a slight to moderate risk for us to have some bad weather. I absolutely HATE bad weather. As a child I hated it...and as an adult I hate it. Some people say how well they sleep in a good thunderstorm. What in the world are they talking about!!!??? NOT ME... I'm lying in the bed with my eyes wide open watching the lightening fill my room and holding my breath until the boom of thunder shakes the window. Sleep through that???? NO WAY!!!! The only I could ever do that was to be sedated during a storm!!!
I've always been that way though. I truly blame my fear of the weather on my Grandmother Mimmie and my Nin-Nin. You see, my Mimmie and Nin Nin honestly thought that you should not go ANYWHERE if it was as much as sprinkling when we were growing up.
I vividly remember when there were storms...my Mimmie would wring her hands and pace the house with anxiety. I guess that I grew up just thinking that is how you were supposed to handle a storm...by pacing and wringing your hands... and might I add here...I do that VERY well. Just ask my son and husband. The weather man just merely mentions that we may have a storm...and I have got us loaded with pillows and flashlights headed towards the basement.
I wish I weren't such a scaredy cat though...I have even inadvertently instilled some of my fears in Nicholas too. I guess it's just one of those traits that have been passed down from generation to generation...Bad weather scaredy cats!!!! That's ME...
Gotta go...I think the weather man is back on the T.V... You know me, I'm headed south towards the basement!!!!!!

Better to be in your basement rather than stuck at school with a room full of scared kids at 4:00. Tee hee hee
Ok Kim (my mom-not your sis)---She makes everyone pile in her closet when it starts sprinkling!!
