Comments on: I’m Home - Despite A Bunch of Storms http://deeandrews.net/2008/05/15/im-home-despite-a-bunch-of-storms/ It's all about taking time to seek out a better way, while exploring the less traveled side roads along the path . . .

I have to expend so much mental effort keeping the plane in the air, it is exhausting! And tell Tom to get up and get to work! Kami is out in Boise for a week so this morning I stripped the beds, did the laundry, remade the beds, cleaned the parrot's cages, ran a load of dishes through the dishwasher, and put the newly laundered clothes away. Real men do housework (at least, that's what Kami tells me). I hate flying in storms. I have to expend so much mental effort keeping the plane in the air, it is exhausting!

You must feel much better and like you accomplished something great! I laughed as you described feeling the humidity after being in dry Abilene. I was born and raised in Lubbock and we would travel to Abilene and the DFW area often and we referred to Abilene as humid! We thought we would die in the summer with their humidity! So to hear you describe Abilene as dry is so funny to me. Of course, since I now live and have lived in Southeast Texas for 35 years, I understand where you are coming from and know that Abilene is drier, but I guess it is all relative. Don't go to Lubbock....if you think Abilene is dry. You would shrivel up. I always refer getting back home as "wetting my gills". Nothing like breathing in that salty, moisture filled air into your lungs. BTW, I think Tom was wanting you to know you are still needed! Enjoy being back in the nest!

Glad you made it home safe and hope your car did not get too much hail damage. I am sure sweet Tom just did not want you to feel like you were not needed and that is why he left the dishes and the laundry for you! :) My hubby always tells me that the family can "survive but not thrive" without me and that is a pretty accurate description!

Those southern storms can be ferocious but living out here where we almost never have a storm, I really miss them! I love a good thunderstorm, when there are no tornadoes involved. Thank you for placing us ahead of the laundry ... always place friends before laundry! As for Tom and the dishwasher, I will do everything involving a dishwasher except empty it! After living in this house almost a year, I still don't know where all the various dishes / utensils go and really don't want to know. When we move, I'll learn where they go since we'll be there the rest of our lives. Glad you’re home and safe.

I do hope you "used them up" before son and I make the trip to Oklahoma tomorrow. I’m sorry you and Tom had to weather those storms.
