So much to talk about.....not enough time to type it all!

Wow!  This week has been something else!  And....it's only Wednesday.  I am blown away, well almost, let me start with this.

Yesterday, I was sitting here in my office, at work. A local policeman walks in the door frantically, and says "There is a tornado that has been spotted about 10 minutes west of here, take cover immediately."  Now, anyone that knows me well knows that my #2 fear is Tornadoes.  I just can't handle it.  I've never seen one in plain sight but I have seen pictures, watched the news, know people whose homes have been devastated by those suckers, and well, that is enough for me.

Then....the sirens.

I swear I stopped breathing for a minute.  I grabbed my phone and WeatherBug starts going off on my phone.  TORNADO WARNING, INDIANAPOLIS TAKE COVER IMMEDIATELY".

Looked outside and it was nice and bright.  I saw nothing.  Two minutes later, I saw a wall cloud.  I about crapped my pants.  Thats no joke.

I started calling my husband, my mom, and my best friend.  They turned on the news and they all freaked. My mom told me to find a safe place and call her back.

We lost power, and it became quiet.  Not a sound.  Sirens stopped.  About five minutes later, I peek outside and no one is around.  Usually, the plaza I work in is surrounded by patrons.  No one was around.  I felt like I had a starring role in The Walking Dead.

Then my phone reported a confirmed tornado 3.5 miles away from my office.  That one picked up a person's home and sat it down on another home.  Luckily, no one was home at either residence.

I can go the rest of my life without that happening again.

Brandon's surgery was a success, he is home for the next 6-8 weeks recuperating/being a couch potato.  His short-term disability pays 100%, thankfully.  Knowing that I think he will baby his wound a little longer. He can't drive, mow, pick up more than a gallon of anything, and he is bored.  On top of that he is texting me constantly.  Poor guy.  At least he will feel better soon.

Friday is his birthday.  Friday is also a very sad day for us.  It's Claire's due date.  The whole family is just not sure what to do or say.  Brandon just wants to go to see Claire.  I am glad.  So Friday we will be Claire Bear bound.  I have ordered him and her some balloons.

Darrell got his kindergarten shots Monday.  Three shots to be exact.  Boy was he unhappy.  Dairy Queen afterwards did turn the frown upside down.  Other than that, he is growing like a weed.  He is 5 years old and almost 4 feet tall.  So, like the doctor said.  He is a tall boy.  Finally, he was prescribed a stronger med for his allergies.

Tonight we are having dinner at my mother and father in-laws house.  And we are going to have some cake for Brandon.

To top it all off.  I received some very good news from a dear friend last evening.  She suffered a loss of two boys (twins) in the early part of the year.  It has been a rough year for her.  We both lost our babies due to chorioamnionitis.  She contacted me to let me know she is pregnant!!!!!!  Looks like the twins were looking out for her.  I am so elated for her.  She and her hubby are very deserving.  When she reads this she will know I am talking about her.  I am so happy for you and the hubs!  You got this!  Stay strong, stay positive, and keep faith.  The boys, the husband and the baby on the way are lucky to have you.
