Stop the Fun-der!

We’re having some goofy weather this morning. I awoke at 5:00 a.m. to an unnaturally pink sky. The sun was out, but the combination of pink, orange and yellow brought back memories of tornado skies. Shortly after that the sun decided to hide and a dark blue sky appeared to the north, signaling rain was on the way.

At 6:00 a.m. the thunder began to rumble. Lightning soon followed. I was trying to work, but I’ve have this fascination with lightning. I also have an irrational fear of it, too. I unplugged the laptop and worked soley on battery power.

Then the sun decided to peek out for a second or two. She left as quickly as she appeared. Cloudy skies moved in, the thunder and lightning continued and at 7 a.m. -ish, the rain began.

It’s always so neat to hear the sound of heavy rain on the roof. With no television or radio on, I heard the splattering and looked out the livingroom window. At that moment thunder crackled and a bolt of lighting shot through the sky. I leaped to the other side of the room. I’m not in the mood to be electrocuted this morning. Maybe next week. (Ha…)

Dawson woke up a minute later. He came into the room, looked out the window and cried, “STOP the FUN-der!” in the same tone that Susan Powter exclaims, “Stop the Insanity!”

I started to giggle.

“Mumma, fun-der is not funny! It’s scary! No laughing!”

I’m still laughing when I think about it. That boy of mine can make even the rainy days better.
