I think growing up in tornado alley just made my fear of tornadoes worse. Ever since I was about 8, I have recurring nightmares about tornadoes. Seriously. When I was a kid, I'd dream that my brother and I were playing in the yard and a tornado would touch down across the street. When I started driving, the dream changed to me being in a car trying to drive very quick-like to get away from it. To top all that off, the night of my junior prom we hid in the bathrooms while tornado sirens were blaring. After they stopped [and it was still storming out] I drove like a bat out of hell trying to get home. That doesn't make those dreams go away. Oh, no. It makes them worse. *sigh*
So now, here I sit in my living room alone with the dog freaking out at the tiniest spark of lightning or clap of thunder. Why? Because a tornado warning was issued for my county. =( I'm tracking the storm online, thanks to one of the local station's websites and it's still about 10 miles away. I think. I haven't lived here long enough to really know. I probably shouldn't be freaking out, but I am. Most likely because my husband is in the barracks and I'm here alone.
Other than tonight, the weekend has been fairly good. I felt like crap yesterday. My throat was sore and I was just extremely tired. I didn't put any make up on yesterday, and didn't even attempt to cook for my hubby until this evening. He was sweet and put up with my clingy, whiny self. =) I'm probably an annoying sick person. I like to be taken care of when I'm sick. So, I may complain a bit more than is actually necessary. Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this! God bless my hubby for putting up with me. =) I
Here's hoping that things get straightened out with Joe's orders and I can travel with him to Hawaii! That will make this next week so much better! Hope y'all have a great week!
I've woken up with a sore throat every morning for over 2 weeks now and about 30 minutes to an hour after I get out of bed, I feel fine...until I wake up the next day! It's so annoying! And I'm a total whiner when I'm sick too, you're not alone =)
ReplyDeleteso get a good book and a flash light and sit in the closet for a while (or bathtub... you know whatever is in the center of the house :) ) ... it could make you feel better and you could have a little adventure :) hehe... i wish we were having storms in arkansas... i love them too!!

It's funny, growing up around tornadoes makes me a strange combination of anxious and apathetic when stormy weather hits. I like watching the weather (let's be honest, it's like watching sports here) but I also have to be aware of where the storm is or else I get anxious. Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I left you a surprise on my blog!
ReplyDeleteHope you were safely away from anything, and tell the dog it's suppose to protect you not freak you out more lol.
ReplyDeleteI hate tornadoes! I am scared of them too. I have never seen one, or lived in a place that had them until now... I think you said you lived in GA, we do too, I saw all the warnings but we didn't have one issued for us, I think we were on the outskirts of it.
