Then & Now Tuesday

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Amazing Momma's out there, whether it be your first or your 28th. I still am in misbelief that I am celebrating MOTHERS day for myself :) Thank you so very much Elias (and b) for giving me the best gift I could ever ask for...making me a mom. We celebrated very low key with a yummy dinner made by the hubby, cards from him and Elias. I love my boys :)

Seriously, does all it always rain this much in Alabama? It seems like it rains EVERY freakin day. This past weekend I was watching TV with the Monkey when a special news report came on that said there was a tornado heading for the exact area in which we live. Ummmm....what!? I was home alone and had no idea what to do. I texted B to tell him about it. He asked me if I wanted him to come home. No silly, you cant be in your car durning a TORNADO! So I asked him what I was suppose to do. I've never done a torando drill. Fire drill yes, which btw when your in college your first year living in a dorm, those 3am fire drills BITE. Anyways back to the said tornado...b told me I needed to get into the middle of the house where there were no windows or the garage. Ok dumba$$, the garage has windows. And bugs. Ewww. I didnt want to wait the tornado out with bugs. So me and my little non tornado knowing self, packed a bag with all of monkeys essentials...a bottle, extra formula, bottled water, extra change of clothes, toys, blankets and of course my laptop and cell phone. After that I took monkey and myself to the middle of the house with no windows, which would be the hallway. And we sat and sat and sat. No tornado. No wicked witch riding her bike in the twister. No munchkins, except for the monkey that was laying on his blanket playing with this toys completely oblivious to his Mommas insanity. No yellow brick road. No oz. And no wizard that lives there. Just rain. And more rain. Finally after about ohhhh I'd say 15 minutes I realized how ridiculous I must look so I turned the TV back on. Turns out the tornado never touched ground. Thats possible? Now I kind of feel miss led and this so called tornado cried wolf.
