Lightning...a little too close to home!


May 28th...
Scrapbooking day! My friends Sandra and Tiffany came over today, it was so nice to hang out and get some scrapbooking done while the kids played! Leah and Jacob really get along well with Cael and I think it was good for him to have kids over. Leah was terrified of Jo for the first hour or so and then something happened and she couldn't get enough of her! When it was time for them to go home I told Cael to give his friend a hug and Jacob didn't want one so he started running circles around Jo...Cael followed him for about 20 laps or so with his arms out!
While we were scrapbooking this insane storm started raging outside, side ways rain, side ways trees, everything was going crazy! Thunder so loud we could feel it and lightning was making our power flicker! As I was turning on Nemo (for the third time thanks the power going out) we heard a SNAP, it sounded like the biggest light bulb in the world burnt out. I jumped about a foot and a half off the floor, as did everyone else, and just like that, my bedroom lights were out! Only the bedroom and my bathroom, nothing else! I was waiting to smell smoke or something, but nothing else happened. We flipped the breaker and they came back on...but I am pretty sure I got hit by lightning! Of course...I had never been struck by lightning before...so maybe I didn't, who knows!
In other news, someone took that old rained out box of stuffed animals today! They are going to a local charity yard sale that is trying to make money for a driver's ed program somewhere...so at least they might go to a good home! Someone also came and got my rocking chair! Heck ya, $15! Good day when it comes to selling random stuff :)
