ALONE!

I went out alone tonight!  First time since April 29!  I happened to run into a couple of friends and their just-under-two year old, who spent the entire shopping trip at Walgreens calling and looking for me, and when I said calling I really mean bellowing.  But I wasn't responsible for him, and that made it better.  I didn't have to corral him, or hush him, or make sure he wasn't eating the cart (which he was).  I also went to the bank and Hobby Lobby all in one hour!  It would've been a lot faster, had I not run into those friends and another friend at Walgreens.  In any case, I felt like a human again upon my return and not some mutant anger-monger that hasn't been alone in public in almost a month.  We'll see which one decides to show up tomorrow.  Human vs Mutant Anger-Monger.  This could be the start of something.  Hm...Dusty should write that app.

On a side note, please pray that the severe storms dissipate tomorrow before they get to us in the evening.  We're supposed to have a high likelihood of tornadoes, and honestly, I'm done with this season.  I'm jumpy and anxious every time the wind blows.  I'm beginning to have day-mares that my house will blow away with us in it. I mean, did you see the footage of the house that's now just a foundation?  That would be what our house would look like.  It's a slab foundation.  We have no underground anywhere to go.  We have my in-laws', but if it just happens on us, then there's no planning.  Granted, I know about it 24 hours in advance, but I really don't want to have to drive all the way there and get no sleep, and have the kids get no sleep, and then just sit in there while nothing happens.  Ugh.  Convenience vs Safety.  Is this really another app?  Probably not.  That would be lame.
