"Kisses for Mommy"

I've been having very interesting dreams lately...last night was no different.

I was with my husband and some of my siblings. We were in someone's basement. We were playing with these RC cars and things when my mom came home. She wanted to see them so I spent some time showing them to her (they were pretty cool...one of them was more of a transformer-type thingy) and then I said, "Mom, if you really want to see something cool, check this out!" And I went into a different room to go get this "robot" that I had. I showed her my cool "robot" and how it moved by itself and such. Then it started to make cooing sounds and giggles and soon my mom figured out it wasn't a robot, it was my baby in a silly robot costume. I took my baby back into the room that his pen was in and he was giggling. I snuggled my 3 or 4 month old and played this "kisses for Mommy" game where I would give him little tiny kisses all over his ticklish neck rapidly and he would smile and giggle. I played this with him several times before my husband woke me up.

It might have something to do with me following this incredible blog yesterday...you will see it on my mainpage. I encourage you to check it out! But yes, I am longing to have my own little one. We're not ready but the longing is really intense.

I have a funny story from the other day. I was working out really hard the other day so I decided to take a shower right afterwards. I don't have contacts and I had taken off my glasses when I got into the shower. I had just soaped up my hair when I noticed this black spot in the shower. It had appendages and it totally freaked me out. I had a momentary panic attack and then I tried to wash it down the drain by throwing water at it. It didn't work very well...it kept getting stuck on parts of the tub. I started kicking water at it and it splashed back and landed on my foot. I freaked out and just grabbed it and smushed it as hard as I could. The unusual friction of crushing cotton caught my attention...I then realized it was no bug. It was just a fuzz.

In other news, last night we FINALLY got a decent thunderstorm and it was only because my husband and I got to talking that we even got to see any of it. It rolled in right around 4am, which is when we finally got to bed due to talking about some very sensitive material. It was great...it was like having paparazzi outside the window! The thunder wasn't very loud (I love it when that happens) so it was just constant flashing and torrential downpours that were so heavy the apartment building next door began to disappear. The wind really picked up and I heard a huge wave made of wind and rain. It was GREAT! It was like being at home again.

You see, Fargo/Moorhead is in this weird area where thunderstorms die. We get horrendous blizzards and it floods pretty badly every spring but when it comes to thunderstorms, they either evaporate all together or they just go around us. I have no idea why that happens but it is very depressing for me...I have been in close proximity with at least 4 tornadoes and 6 funnels. I told my husband that storms tend to chase me so I never need to go chasing storms but he has yet to experience this because of this Bermuda Triangle of death for the storms in this area. But last night, a strong front came through and it was still a beautiful dark red color on the radar long after the sun had gone down. I knew it would finally make it to us, and it did! I guess it rained some more this morning but I fell asleep around 4:30 and then slept like a rock.
