Tornado Watch

Maybe one last post...

I have just spent the last hour in my bathtub. Jimmy called to let me know that there was a tornado watch. Me, Madeline, Boo, and Ashes all crammed in our bathroom with a blanket in the tub and waited it out.


I have to tell you I was terrified. We have been through these before so I'm not sure if it has something to do with Madeline being in the picture now or what but my stomach was turning. I kept thinking in my mind what I was going to do if it actually hit us and how I would cover Madeline and ugh...makes me sick just thinking about it.


It is a terrifying experience to be locked in your bathroom with only sound to tell you what is going on...and your husband via text messaging. All we could hear were the sirens, the loud rain and thunder....it was all together freaky.


Glad that one is over. Madeline was obviously clueless. She was super happy about the idea of Mommy sitting in the tub with her. She was very entertained.
I just wanted to put a post on here to let you know that I probably won't be posting for a while. All of our stuff is gone on it's way to Hawaii and we will be leaving next Friday. I can't upload our pictures so it will all just have to wait. Here in a month or so I will have lots of updates.

We're sad to leave our Alabama friends. You have been so wonderful and we love you so much and are going to miss you like crazy. Thanks for everything.

See you all in Hawaii!!

Jimmy's graduation is on October 16th at 2:00 p.m. anyone who wants to attend is more than welcome to! We are so proud of him!

Quirks

I was tagged by Wendi. I love reading these on other blogs but when I have to do them it makes me feel so boring. So here they are six of my quirks.

1. I keep a pair of flip flops by my bed at night. I am so paranoid of stepping barefoot on an Alabama cockroach or a spider in the dark that I have to have shoes on every time I get out of bed in the middle of the night.

2. I absolultely have to brush my teeth and wash my face before I do any type of exercise.

3. I have a need to pull ugly faces and speak in weird voices and then ask my husband for a kiss.

4. I like to be on time. (Well minus the whole nine months of pregnancy and a few months afterwards). I usually will arrive 5-10 minutes early. It drives me nuts to be late. If I have somewhere important to be you can pretty much guarantee I will get there 20-30 minutes early. I know...it's ridiculous. To go along with this, if we are going somewhere and I am ready I hate waiting around and will make Jimmy (poor Jimmy) get ready so we can go, or I will sit and ask him over and over if he's going to be ready on time. Sometimes I even annoy myself.

5. I have an obsession with facial cleansers and hair products. I like to try new ones and I have pretty much tried them all. My poor head.

6. I am deathly afraid of insects. If I am forced to kill one it will happen with a lot of screaming and shoe throwing and jumping up and down. I can't stand the thought of the wiggling little pests anywhere near me. It sometimes keeps me from doing things, like using my front door, checking my mailbox, driving my car. Yes...I have problems.
