I'm Still A Kid At Heart

As I'm typing this lovely blog post, the rain is finally winding down from last nights storm. The past couple really hot & humid days here in Massachusetts usually end up with thunder storms around midnight. I have to say, one of my biggest fears, and I've had this fear at both houses that I've lived at. Is that during a thunder storm, the lightning is going to hit a tree, and the three will fall on top of my bedroom, or me. The odds that this will happen are low, I know that, but my room has trees on two sides and they're very large trees at that, so I have had that fear. With that being said I cannot sleep when ever there is a thunder storm right on top of me! Who can? So, I usually am down a couple hours of sleep, also, but that's not the point. The lightning, I love the lightning, but only when I'm not sleeping and the whole family is sitting together and watching it together, when it's just me, in the middle of the night, trying to get to sleep, and it lights up my whole room, well then Cae isn't all that happy about it.

The last really bad thunder storm we had was a couple weeks ago, and it lasted for about thirty to forty-five minutes (maybe more, I don't know I was tired and just wanted to go to bed!), so finally I was so fed up with this storm that I went to mom and dad's room and sat on the corner of their bed, they were both up, and plus my dog Max was freaking out, so he got to be on mommy & daddy's bed (he usually isn't allowed on the bed). Last night, not only was I was too tired to actually get up walk across the house (hoping that the lights are on so I don't fall down my stairs), walk up a flight of stairs, and then hope that mom and dad didn't lock their bedroom door. Last night it seemed like way to much energy! Instead, I figured out why I go to mom & dad, they're my security blanket. So last night I was with my other security blanket, God, I prayed and the storm eventually calmed down, and I wasn't as scared as I usually am.

So despite the fact that I may be a teenager, I'm still a little kid (in Thumper P.J.s!) who is scared by the thunder storms.
