It's raining its pouring!

As all good mothers do, I am bunkered down with my kids through the storm, not because they are scared but because they are excited.  They were mad at me because I wouldn't let them go stand on the porch in the middle of the thunderstorm so now they are camped out in front of the sliding glass door trying to count seconds between lightening and thunder and trying to guess where the next bolt will come from. It's these moments that I live for and I wouldn't trade the long nights and bad attitudes for any of it.
