I was scared...


I have never seen anything like this and if I did I think I would pass out flat on the floor or sit in a stupor and get taken away with the wind. The first night I was back at home on Tuesday night there was a thunderstorm. I woke up to hear some thunder and see lightning and this awful rain/hail banging on the window. I woke up and said-- HAIL! And then ran to my grandma's room and crawled in the bed with her. And then... my mom decided to follow. My Grandma is just sleeping through it all because her bedroom doesn't let the slightest bit of sound through. Then on Wednesday night there was another storm but it wasn't as bad I could at least go to sleep. I've gotten out of the habit of hearing thunderstorms when other people are comforted I freak out because I haven't heard the sound of thunder or seen lightning in about a year. Really.

Today we went to my grandma's house to look through all of her stuff. My aunt told me to go look at the books down in the den and it took me forever to even look at them let alone try and arrange them off of shelves. I took the ones I wanted and I'm going to start East of Eden by Steinbeck here shortly. My grandpa had a weed whacker/ edger a "2 in 1" in the shed so I took that so I can play with it and make the yard look pretty. I've got a lot to do the next week while I'm at home to get this place looking like summer.

Well I guess I'm going to go read now. Happy Easter!!!
