It's raining here and if it were raining men they would be big fat annoying ones that never quit. My husband has been in a rain coma for the day and son has beat me at so many video games today I have a capital L imprinted on my forhead for all the times I lost.  We have been watching the brain trust of Florida standing on piers and beaches getting knocked over by waves as big as buildings making all the rest of us look like dumb hicks.  My son gets particularly anxious over exteme weather and when he was younger we could always hide when there were tornado warnings on t.v. now he just goes to his room and turns on the weather channel.  So far he is not freaking out too badly.  I remember being the same way as a child and thinking every cloud was the beginning of a funnel cloud.  Hate to think I passed on those worries to him even though by the time he was born I had learned to mask those worries for the sake of his brother and sister.  Funny how many things I feared that when I became the parent I had to get over it for the sake of teaching my children these were things that did need to be feared.  I have always said my kids have given me way more than I could ever have given them.  Last night we fell asleep with the television on syfy running a spider movie marathon.  Not the best images to have running through my subconscious all night.  Does that happen to others.  One less person in the house has changed the dynamic so much and I must say she is sooo much happier in her own place now.  Everybody has been visiting and helping her get settled and if is so lovely to walk in from work and not be bombarded with questions.  Looking at the silver lining here I nearly sliced a chunk from my thumb yesterday slicing vegetables with a mandoline... no I was not using the safety guard...so I have a break from doing dishes for at least a few days till everything heals shut. Now I am on cooking duty instead.   Might have to slice another apendage when this one heals so I can stay on cooking.  I am full of random stuff today just taking up space in my head.  So many things I get fired up about during the week but quite honestly this rain is like taking a handful of muscle relaxers.  Aaaahhhh.
