Weather the Storm

Today I have googley eyes. You know, where your eyes bounce around and can't focus. It's probably because I was up until midnight last night sitting in our living room with no power and listening to the radio making sure we didn't need to take cover. I tell you what, it sounded like the wind was going to pick up the house and take us for a ride.

I don't think a storm has scared me that much in a really long time. I blame that on motherhood. The only thing I could think about was little Caden sleeping soundly in his crib and possibly having to scoop him up and run downstairs.

Would it wake him up?

Would he be scared?

Am I being a bad mother by letting him sleep through this in his lonely crib while I'm on pins and needles in the living room?

What IF we were picked up by a tornado?

Did we ever list beneficiaries on our life insurance?

Crap. We don't even have a will. What would happen to Caden if we both died?

Being a mother is great, but I sure do worry a lot more than I used to. A silly storm throws me into worrying about life (or would you say death) planning. But back to my googley eyes (apparently I'm having trouble focusing all together). Staying up until midnight and then Caden decides that having a party at 3 am would be fun.

Not fun, not fun, baby Caden. Sounds like it will be a fun Friday night... filled with sleeping, hopefully.

Vive le weekend!
