It is making me depressed....
We have had multiple severe thunderstorms and tornado warnings in the past week. I really do not like tornadoes. When we are under a watch I sit glued to the TV. A couple of days ago I even prepared the closet downstairs for us if we needed it. I put a bunch of pillows down there, some blankets, and my computer. I came very close to taking all of my photo albums down there too. Yes, I realize that this is a little overboard but I just get a little freaky during storms. Pretty sure pregnancy makes this worse...
I have always been scared of storms. I think this dates back to when I was in 2nd grade. A little story for y'all....
Me and my best friend at the time, Sarah, were staying the night at a condo on the lake with her mom, her sister, and her sisters' friends. It was her older sister's birthday party and we were just tagging along. We were 7. It was storming outside but no one thought anything of it. All of the sudden around midnight there was a crazy pounding at the door to the condo followed by a total freak out by two 7 year-olds and a ton of teenage girls. It was the cops and they were there to evacuate because it was flooding. We gathered all of our important stuff and were led out by the cops. Little did we know but it had already flooded the entire first floor. I had to swim with the cop to the car because the water was already chest high on me. I don't even remember where they took us...all I remember was that it had one whole wall that was windows. I just sat there watching the lightening and the trees swaying...totally freaking out.
My parents could not get to me so they had one of their friends who lived close come pick me up...BY BOAT!!
Needless to say, I was traumatized. I have been scared of storms ever since.
So I am ready for the April showers to be over!!!!!
In other news, my honey is off this week and we are going to start cleaning out the rooms and closets downstairs. This makes me happy....this stresses him out. I am trying to make it fun for him. I told him we can listen to music and he can drink as much scotch or wine that he wants. That really didn't help. He just doesn't like to purge things. I, on the other hand, LOVE getting rid of things. I would do it myself but he won't let me because he thinks that I will just throw everything away. I just might!
I told him that he can do absolutely nothing this weekend if he will give me two full days next week of purging and organizing. He keeps trying to come up with things that he has to do. Yeah, that isn't going to work. Oh, and get this. He told me that all the men that he has talked to tell him to just put off the cleaning and organizing because later on I will start nesting and do it all myself anyway. I told him to have those guys call me and I will set them strait ;)
So here is to a lazy weekend of watching movies and eating bad food. Oh the things I have to do to get him to help me organize!

It's been raining non stop here too and our downtown area is totally flooded. Have fun with your cleaning- you sound like me, I love a good purge!!
ReplyDeleteYour honey sounds like mine...he was totally against starting to clean however, once I got him started on one area, it led to the next and the next and the next...here's to hoping that this happens for you too!
ReplyDeleteI'm SO over the rain...its really putting a damper on my running. :( Hope the cleaning went well.
