Today was the first day back from spring break. It was both good to be back, and yet the week-long break did not seem like enough. During that break I had also gotten used to talking to my husband at any time of the day and he wasn't having to worry about waking up early in order to talk to us. It was great in that way. I was also able to run a lot of the errands I needed to, though with my kids, and it made me realize just how much time I spend at work and how much I can get done during the day without worrying about doing it after school. I was also able to get to the doctors for a checkup and for refills on my medications. Basically, I got a lot done.
Being at work today, I can't help but realize that there are a ton of things I need to do, but can't do it until after work. As I am typing right now, we are having a massive storm. It started around 8pm (though the news predicted it would start around 6pm), and is supposed to pack quite a punch. So, to get ready for it, I decided to go and get a few things right after school and before it hit. I needed to get rain boots for the kids and me so we could have them for tomorrow at school. I also needed to get a few things for a box that I need to send out to Ian and something to stake down the trampoline, just in case. I made a lot of stops trying to find everything I needed. By the time I got home, it was around 7 and just starting to sprinkle. by the time I got the kids to bed, the storm was just starting to come it. I still had to stake down the trampoline, and ended up doing it in the rain. Once that was done, I came inside and listened to the rain. It really was a bad storm. One lightning strike hit so close that the flash and boom hit at the same time and actually shook my sliding glass door.
It is another one of those nights where I miss my husband. I am terrified that we will end up getting a tornado, the warning siren will come over the speakers, and I will not wake up to hear it. I am not a really heavy sleeper, and yet, I am. I think I will probably wake up to that, but am not completely sure of it. Ian, on the other hand, can wake up to anything. I know he will catch whatever I miss and I know he will wake me up if the need arises.
So, I am going to bed tonight, knowing I won't sleep well because of the storm and because I am worried that I won't wake up if needed if I fall into a deep sleep. This falls into the category of Ian and me being a great pair and especially the part where he steps in and helps in the areas that I am weak in, and vice versa. Not long now until my husband is home and we are back to complimenting the weak areas for each other.
