Monday.
I must admit, I’m in the majority of the public population which let out a groan anytime that word is uttered. If you guys are the small majority which have a pep in your step today? Well- please leave me alone until I can suck down some coffee and prepare for your cheeriness.
We had storms last night which seem to be a continual reminder of, “What in the world am I doing back here!?! I’m CRAZY.”
That’s sort of how the night goes- even when it rains here.
Living in Oklahoma is a little irritating 6 months out of the year. Anytime there’s a rain cloud, a raindrop, or a bit of a cool breeze on a hot day- you tend to freak out a bit.
You begin looking around to see if a wall cloud is forming, if your “safe place” is ready, and checking on your portable radio and flash lights.
What am I doing here!?!
The news channels don’t make you feel any better.
“Well folks- it’s awful outside. In fact- I’m pretty sure the sky is falling,” they say.
That doesn’t help someone like me- who freaks out at any sign of a storm.
Oh- and Will LOVES when it’s bad out because he has to deal with me freaking out and being absolutely unreasonable.
“We need to pull the mattress off the spare bed and be ready to hide under it!”
Yeah- I pretty much drive him insane.
I become like a wilty flower that needs a super hero to rescue her. Poor guy.
It’s like this whole “thing” with us. I truly drive him crazy.
I will say- although Kuwait was miserably hot- there was no weather.
I miss no weather.
So I’m enduring my first full spring back in America in quite a few years and have decided I hate it.
I love rain.
But you can’t simply “love rain” in Oklahoma because there’s no such thing as rain. It’s wrapped around a wall cloud or swirling winds.
Ugh.
So- although I’m not a big Monday fan. I love Mondays way more than last night’s storms- so I guess you could say Mondays don’t seem so bad?
Sure- we’ll go with that.
Now leave me alone. I need a few more cups first.
Hmmm, rain, wind and safe place vs. 10cm of snow in Alberta?! You know, that’s a tough choice! I honestly don’t know what one I’d pick. Tell Will snow in Alberta makes for a great ski season
