gimme shelter


We are in the middle of reported tornado touchdowns and wicked thunderstorms right now. Jesse is out of town tonight. I am freaking and trying not to spread it to the kids but trying to be proactive. This would be funny if I was joking:


We are all wearing helmets like massive dorks. Dorks with plans to keep our brains. Lays in the closet sleeping and Judah and I are in the hall beside her.

He is sleeping on a pile of laundry and I am listening to every word on the news in the living room. Prayers would be stellar.

Update: 1am and the worst has passed. Just some thunder storms to sleep through. All is well, we are de-helmeted and in our beds again. Though once the adrenaline left me I had to fill the void with with something else. I chose cheese. Straight off the block.

Prayers to all still in the path of this monster. praising him through these storms.

  2. OH Keight! I live in MO and we have our fair share of these horrible nights. I have always been terrified of storms and try SOO hard not to pass my freaking onto my son! Helmets are a good idea!

  4. Okay, I know these storms were serious, non-joking business, but KEIGHT! Those helmets!!! I am respectfully laughing my head off with you (not at you!) A brilliant move by a mother who's not afraid to sleep in the hall with a helmet on. You're in for one heck of a mother's day gift!
