To The Gigantic Storm Lighting Up My Windows

Did you really have to come at bedtime? I have three scared kiddos cuddled up together in My Little Reader's Bed. I doubt that sleep will come anytime soon. The real fallout will come in the morning, when you are long gone, but their grumpiness abounds. Next time how about an afternoon monsoon like the ones I grew up with??

Can't sleep

Ben is on the mountain helping to protect the Young Women from potential threat of bears or wayward boy scouts and I can't sleep. I always have a hard time sleeping when he isn't here. I hear every sound. My mind runs wild. And for some reason the train seriously seems to blow it's horn more frequently when he is not here. Maybe I will go snuggle in with one of the kiddos. Or maybe I will stay up for the next three hours watching mindless television in hopes of being lulled to sleep. But probably I will just go add a top coat to my home made pedicure. Wish me sweet dreams... I could use them!
