Now that I am at day 117, I may end up repeating some things that I am thankful for. But there is nothing wrong with being EXTRA thankful for something, right?
I can't remember if I have done this one or not but today I am thankful for POWER! We had a pretty big storm system come through last night and there was actually some tornado concern for a small bit of time. I know. Snow last week, tornados this week. I live in Alabama. What can I say? Anyway, the storm was hitting us pretty bad and the wind is what actually causes us a lot of concern so it gets very noisy at our house. The power went out about 10:30pm.
My husband doesn't sleep well when it storms and I don't sleep well when the power is out so it was a very restless night! The storms would get really bad and then it would almost stop raining completely. Then the wind would pick up again and then taper off. It was off and on like that until about 4am. Danny and I tried to sleep. I ended up getting up and using my flashlight to read my book because I was wide awake. Danny finally fell asleep and I turned out my flashlight. Mindy came in, we sent her back to bed. Mason came in, we sent him back to bed. Mason came back two more times and I finally set him up on the floor. My in-laws live next door and have a generator so at 4am I woke up because I heard the generator start up and then Danny's alarm went off at 5:45am. And guess what? Still no power! We got ready for school in the dark and went on and of course the power came back around 7:30am. Figures.
