April showers, yadda yadda. (Between you and me, I've had enough in the past two weeks.)
I am thankful for candles, for flashlights, and backup batteries, too. For snacky food that needs no preparation, for my grill lighter, and for it not being too cold/hot, so we could do without the heat/air, if need be. For the porches in the front and back protecting our things outside, including our minivan. For the board games we have, for toys and for the snuggle time we will endure. For my cell phone, so I can still reach out, for radios and mostly, for the sound of the thunder. Despite how bad it may get, it's still beautiful.
A storm is coming. If I'm not around and answering emails, we probably lost power. But, for now, while it's not too bad yet, I wanted to post my thirteen things I am thankful for right now with this storm on it's way.
Lights flickered again. Hail's a-comin' I'll be back, kids. Hopefully sooner than later-ish.
**Update: Lights have gone out, and come back. And gone out. And come back. Most clocks are out, things have reset a bunch in the house, and the kid's are officially wigging out. It's a strange day for this weather, because the lights went out after the "bad" storm passed. Weird, huh? So for now, we have lights. But, for who knows how long with this unpredictable weather. Let's hope it passes soon.

I am so glad I moved off of the Gulf of Mexico after Katrina. Man.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. Keep safe, dry and warm. I hope it just skips over you and everything goes on undisturbed.
So I go to find my daily dose of Lisa this EARLY morning, and no new post! LOL..now I see why.
What you are getting we are getting tonight, I am just North of Montgomery, AL. Raeann is crushed as she has a softball game tonight, frankly I am happy to have a night "off" from ball games. LOL!
Stay safe!
Be safe, I am thinking of you!
Keep your little tooshie safe! And, get some good snuggle time in with the fam!
Holy cow! Hang in there. Your thankfulness is inspiring!
Wow...I hope that all is well with you and your family. Reminds me how quickly storms can come in and out of our lives, but thankfully we have HOPE in Jesus Christ and He is our shelter in our storm. Be safe today! -Laurie
Oh goodness... Keep safe and warm! I personally would love storms (the thunder, lightning, rain, hail) if there wasn't so much risk involved... lol. Maybe a good time to break out the board games - good luck! ^_^
Let us know when it's over, Babe!
Been there and done that with the power coming off and on! Just consider it a good day to lay around and play with your children! The work will be there whenever the power is up and running again!
Wow, I hope you guys stay safe .. and have fun setting and resetting all of those clocks!
Praying for your family to be safe.
Ok. I'll stop complaining about our dreary gray days. Hope the power stays on. I know all about wigging out kids.
Sounds wild! Glad your lights are back...
And this reminds me that I haven't done our March gratitude post yet. Ooops.
We keep having weird weather too. Our schools closed yesterday at 1 just to keep the buses off the road due to heavy rains.
