The Worst way to Spend a Sunday Night

We interrupt our regularly scheduled Estrogen weirdness to give this important announcement:

Don't spend Sunday nights in your bathtub with a mattress over your head!!

I'm totally serious. We moved from the frozen tundra about 10 yrs ago and live in Missouri now. If you've been watching the news, you know our whole area was effected by severe weather and tornados last night and Saturday. This has been such a weird year and I'm not looking forward to whatever Mother Nature has in store for the rest of this spring.

As of right now, we have 56 tornado reports from last night, just from our area, one which touched down about 2 miles from us. Thank God it was a small one. We had baseball-sized hail, high winds, constant lightning, and our house was shaking. The sirens went off twice in our area last night. Pretty scary.

And how did we keep things light and relaxed in the bathtub? Well, Chefboy "accidentally" turned the faucet on when he was putting the mattress over us, so we got wet, and got him wet in return. At least he didn't try to secure it with duct tape. Then we explored the scientific characteristics of gas expulsion in a confined area -- thank you Chefboy! But you know things aren't too bad when your dog snores through the second storm.

Tomorrow I'll be back to my normal, weird self. Until then, stay safe and remember--Don't spend Sunday nights in your bathtub!!

However, there are worse things than that.

You too?

Ah, we did similar things this weekend. I live in southern Illinois. We spent the weekend watching for tornadoes and trying to stay afloat in torrential rains (I swear I saw many pair of animals going by looking for Noah!). I trust that you guys are okay and weren't in the path of any of the tornadoes?

They barely missed us

Closest confirmed twister was about 2 miles away. Not fun. But the house was shaking and I noticed while I was out and about today that a power pole very close to my house was blown almost all the way over. Whether that was a brief twister I'm not sure, could've been a microburst, but still scary. Glad you're ok.
