Well I am sitting in my house and the only sound I can here is the tapping of the keys as I type and the sound of the storm outside.
My kids are spending the night away, Jamey is already in the bed (exhausted from working all day today after 5 hours of pressure washing the house yesterday) and Penny is sleeping soundly on the sofa.
I can't watch T.V. because the satellite signal has been lost because of the storm, I just finised the novel I was reading last night and do not have another on to start and I refuse to wash the dishes with all of this lightening going on. Even though I know it is highly unlikely that me having my hands in water will cause me to get struck by lightening because "water draws lightening". (Those are the words of my mother and grandmother.)
As a mother of young children I always long for peace and quiet and yet when I get it it somehow feels strange, somewhat unnatural and uncomfortable....at least that is the case tonight for some reason. It is like I don't know what to do with myself.
Well, I am not feeling very inspired to write so I guess this will be it...I need to force myself to enjoy this wonderful time alone and if I can't I am sure I can find something to clean that will not risk my life! Ha ha!!!!
Later gaters!
I refuse to do baths/showers or wash dishes when it is lightening. "It can run in, you know". What you just described might sound boring to some people, but to me it sounds like heaven! Oh to hear some nothing every now and then! That would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteSounds like heaven to me too. I think I would go out on the porch and lay down in the swing and enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteNot to scare you or anything, but a year or so I read a story about a little boy who was typing on the computer during a storm, and lightening struck and went in through his hands.
Okay, I did mean to scare you. That was fun. :-D
joymom you are from which country?
ReplyDeleteI'm from Brazil and here this very sunny.
