Thunderous Saturday

It is pouring down rain at this very moment. Way more than a sprinkle. Way more than a steady rain. Don't underestimate the word "pouring" in the first sentence of this post. The rain water has created a "river" that is travelling down the street. Piper decided to move away from the window when it first started but is cautiously venturing back towards the window now. I took little dude out front to see the rain. We have a archway just outside our front door. So as long as we stood inside the archway we weren't getting wet. Yes, I was holding him in my arms the whole time. I didn't let him walk out the front door on his own. What can I say? I'm a paranoid momma!

I'm thinking the weather has to change drastically in the next 90 minutes or so or Brad's tennis match is likely going to be postponed. I'm in a baking mood suddenly. Why is that when it starts raining out I want to bake something? It just seems like the thing to do. Now in Brad's opinion when it's raining out it means one should lay in bed, watch movies, and eat sandwiches. He stole the idea from a movie many years ago, before I came into his life. But generally that's pretty much all Brad does when it's a seriously rainy day, usually from the comfort of the couch though. He doesn't stay in bed all day.

That's another weird thing about me...I can't stay in bed all day. I'm not even good at sleeping in. Then again I've been a dog mom for many, many, many years. Dogs have to go out semi early in the morning, there's no sleeping in too much. Landon wakes me up at the same time every morning. Just like Simon used to. And just like Simon, I believe the light of the day peeking into the room cues Landon to get up.

Well hopefully the weather isn't too bad later on in the late afternoon as Brad has a friend coming over to watch the NCAA games. Who's going to the championship game? Since there's still a Texas school in it, not the "right" Texas school, but nonetheless we still must root for Texas Tech. Texas Tech and Auburn would be the dream match up for the championship in my opinion...because neither school has ever won it all before.



Side Note:  As I type this my little dude is laying next to me on a pillow. When the thunder is quiet his head is turned away from me. When the thunder booms his head is in my lap. He's been pretty calm for storms overall. But this is his first Spring. Weather in Spring can be very thunderous at times. Not to mention Springtime features possible hail and tornados. So we'll see how he copes with it.
