I Love The Rain.. but I Hate Thunder.

Let Me Tell you Why::

I lived in Kentucky from the time I was an infant

until I was 8ish.

In Kentucky they have frequent tornadoes.

As soon as a storm started I would run into our basement

and grab every animal and continue to beg my family

to follow me into safety while I cried like a baby.

I was always afraid of them even before I seen the

movie Twister. Which only caused my fear to grow.

If You've ever seen it you'll most likely remember the scene

where all the people are at the drive through and a tornado comes.

This exact scene happened to me when I was 7ish. My parents loved to take us to

the drive through, and when The Titanic came out don't think it

changed. Were at the end of the movie where the boat starts to finally sink and all

these poor people are dying and all of a sudden you hear

the sirens and the people at the drive through are over the

radio telling everyone they need to leave ASAP because a tornado

is headed out way. As soon as I heard that I start rushing my family to get into the car

and to drive in the opposite direction of this thing. I'm crying and my dad

is saying oh stop we're ganna be fine and finally we leave and I cry all the way home.

Believe it or not to this day when I hear thunder my heart starts beating super fast

and my breathing speeds up and I pretty much almost become a child agian.

On Monday while it stormed I was at parents house and my 4 year old sister Krista

says she'll keep me safe and she cuddles up next to me with a blanket.

I felt pretty Foolish.

I wonder what this baby that's growing inside of me thinks when my heart

races and I am having a hard time breathing. He/She probably thinks

they Have a Crazy Momma.

Just felt like sharing this with you, for no particular reason.
