thunder is scary

the bean is napping, so we'll do the draw for the sephora giveaway later today, i promise.

i also have 650+ pictures from the fun-filled family weekend to go through. oy! but there are some really fun ones in there. i can't wait to post them.

last night, we were all tucked into our warm, comfy beds and out for the night - or so i thought. somewhere after midnight, my eyes popped open at a loud, roaring noise and what felt like an earthquake. luckily, the bean stayed asleep, but the hub awoke with a grunt.

"what the hell was that?"

and as we looked around, there was a bright flash of light from outside and we realized that it was thunder and lightning. it must've struck really close, because that shit was LOUD. and then a minute later, the rain started coming down - hard.

i thought about the teen, who in spite of her bravado, gets pretty freaked out by thunderstorms. i also wondered how mollydog was doing, at the local animal hospital where we dropped her off on friday afternoon for boarding. poor thing. she's such a scaredydog.

i wanted to get up and check on the teen, but the bean was using me as a human pacifier, and i knew she'd wake up if i moved. oy. then i felt the hub get out of bed and shuffle out, and then i saw a light go on. a few minutes went by, and then i saw the teen dragging in, clutching her pillow and rubbing her eyes. i scooted over to make room, the hub pulled the bean closer to him, and the teen snuggled in next to me.

it was a cozy little family bed for just a little while, before the hub realized he was damn near falling off the edge, and he got up to sleep on the couch. awww.

he's such a good guy. i think i'll keep him.
