Don't get me wrong... I love falling asleep and sleeping when it's raining outside. But I'm talking about a light rain, a drizzle maybe. Not 50+ MPH winds, hail, and excessive lightning.
We've had some scary winds and rain in the past few weeks here in Kansas, but my heart breaks for those in Iowa and other places in the midwest that have been hit by tornadoes. Ever since all these scary storms started happening, I have been having terrible dreams about them. In my dreams I'm thankful for our sub-basement, but I am never able to hold on tight enough to Tyler, and as stupid as it sounds, I can't ever hold on to both Bailey and Stella either. I wake up so paranoid and a couple nights this storm season Tyler and I have actually slept downstairs. I've never been in a tornado, but the thought of going through one and it tearing my house to pieces scares me to death. Then this morning I wake up to the news of the tornado hitting western Iowa and killing 6 boy scout campers and injuring over 40 other people. Totally devastating.
Today we are headed to Iowa for vacation for the weekend. Iowa? Really? One of the states that tornadoes have been visiting frequently over the past few weeks? Yep. We are headed there for a family reunion... and we're camping. Yes my friends, camping.
To top it off, I googled "camping supplies" this morning to see what I should be packing today, and saw the words "snake bite kits". WHAAAT??!
I sound like a total girly-girl right now, but understand that I grew up camping on vacations so I'm totally not. (Camping in NYC anyone??!!) But I am truly terrified of 2 things in my life... snakes, and tornadoes.
This should be an interesting weekend. Start praying!!!!

Augh, I've had those dreams before as well. Remember where fear comes from though.
ReplyDeleteLol at snake-bite kit! You should be safe without one. I will commence the praying though.
