Let me make this clear – I am not complaining about the rain one little bit. Last night we had a pretty hefty thunderstorm. We had opened the windows upstairs to cool things down, and I went to bed early. The storm started as I drifted off, and I wondered if I should close some windows. About an hour later, it really started booming, but the wind wasn’t coming in the bedroom windows. I checked the radar on weather.com, and it said the wind was from the west. I went to the west windows, and sure enough – the carpet was wet.
It was very flashy, boomy and rainy for the next hour or so, so I just stayed up and enjoyed it. However, it was getting late and I needed to sleep.
The sky was having none of it. The rain had slowed down, but the lightning was near-constant. It was like having paparazzi documenting our sleep. I don’t know when, but eventually I took my pillow and blanket and went to the floor in my closet.
Ahhhhhh…. nice and dark.
(I went back to bed around 3:30.) Anyway, I’m pretty tired, and we’ll see how all those little kids fare today. Happy Friday to us all.
