Feeling sorta whupped up on after yesterday's storms. Had to look at the t.v.'s weather map one more time before going to sleep last night. I was all cozied up in bed, trying to sleep, while Gary read more of Flannery O'Connor (not nighttime reading in my book!), when the tornado sirens went off ONE LAST TIME at 1:15am or so. Nuts. Turns out the worst of the weather *that time* was to the east of us, so felt like I could go back to bed and ignore it.
As it happens, it *is* possible to go to sleep while sirens blow in your ear. Woke up this morning at 6:15am with the noises of oldest son getting ready to leave for work. I much prefer hearing him rustling around than those darn sirens.
Everyone else is staying in from church, etc. today. Gary says that we all need a rest. The only problem is that oldest son isn't here to be lazy with us.
I do love it when everyone's home (yeah, I know that it means that 10 folks are all under one roof). But what do I know? I think I'm smitten with everylastone of these people I live with, cramped house or not. ;) But for now, with the dogs all fed and the outside world all drippy, think I'll go back to bed. Five hours just isn't enough sleep.
