Who needs sleep anyway?

Last night we had some crazy storms and tons of rain in a short period of time. We got about 2.2 inches (doesn't sound excessive, but it came so fast). The NOAA weather radio went off constantly between a thunderstorm watch/warning and flood watch/warning. They were talking about wind gusts of 70+ and quarter size hail. Now, I personally didn't care what was going on here and I really didn't mind being up most of the night. But, I was worried about Brad! He is gone on his last overnight fishing trip before Peanut gets here. He's about an hour and 15 minutes Northeast of here and I knew they were also getting nailed with the same storms, if not worse. The kicker is...he's in a camper! And, the campground was already extremely wet before these last storms. So, all I can think of at 3:00 in the morning is whether or not they are ok, did they get the wind/hail/flooding? So, knowing they get up very early for these tournaments, I sent him a text at about 3:30 wishing him "good luck and telling him to be careful with the rising water on the lake." No response. So, I send him another text asking him to let me know they are ok after the storms. No response. So, thinking maybe they weren't getting up until 4:00, I called after that. No answer. I call 2 more times...no answer! Are you kidding me?! What if I was in labor! If any of you are like me, your imagination is 1000 times worse in the middle of the night than during the day. So, you can probably imagine everything that was racing through my mind -- are they alive, what is wrong, do they just not have service, are they already gone to the ramp and his phone is buried under his rainsuit, etc?! Yet, I continue to think the worst! FINALLY (after what seemed like an eternity), at 4:22, he calls and says, "I'm running behind, what did you need?" Oh...just needed to know that you were ALIVE! Seriously, I'm happy he was ok! I asked why he didn't answer..."I had my phone on silent!" Newsflash - I could have been telling you I was in labor!! Oh, honey, I love you! :) The good news is - I really must not be close because I'm pretty sure if I was, this would have put me into full labor! :) This is now a funny story since everything is OK! But, I wanted to put it on the blog so we have a story to tell Peanut.

Everyone have a great day...I will now be going to take a nap!
Love, Kari
