Just one of Those Days......

This has been a crazy week, even by Missouri standards.  We had tornado's hit the southern part of the state, causing major destruction and at least 3 deaths. Storms also hammered the middle of the state causing some damage but no deaths or tornado's. Just heavy winds for at least 24 hours.

 The temperature has been as high as 64, low as 29.  All within a span of four days. Yesterday was sunny but the winds were blowing 45 to 50 miles an hour. Slamming cars,  rocking trailer trucks as we drove the interstates. Knocking little kids down at recess and completely destroying  every woman's hair style.

I had to run to Walmart yesterday, talk about a scary looking bunch of women!!!  Every one's hair was standing up every way imaginable.  We just looked at each other and gave that "knowing nod". We all knew how bad we looked and there was nothing we could do about it. Everyone was going back outside in a few minutes to be  hit again by a gust of wind hard enough to take your breath for a second.

I went to Tami's home yesterday, to stay a few days. When I reached her home, Max started barking and wanting out of the bathroom.  He had to go potty and guess who was going back out in the wind to take him?  Yours truly!!

 Tami is so right when she says "Max has to smell every leaf, and blade of grass"  I am "encouraging" him to do his business so I can get back inside.  He is enjoying being out of the bathroom and is in no hurry to return to the house. After 20 minutes of "holding" his natural urges, he finally finds a blade of grass to suit him!!!!  Thank God!!!  I was having very evil thoughts of a gust of wind grabbing Max, yanking him out of my hand, and landing him in the next county!!!!

Today, we had frost on the windshields, but no wind.  I dropped the kids off at school and managed to get them at the right schools in record time. Max has done his business and is taking his morning nap.  So far so good!!  I may even lay back down for a few minutes. That sounds like a plan to me, a very good plan indeed. Everyone have a good day and love to all.......even Max!
