Last night I got home from my board meeting around 10:15. I headed to bed shortly thereafter, but my mind was racing.The iced Thai coffee I'd had just after lunchtime was still coursing through my veins, making me think of concepts I needed to write, conversations I needed to have and apps I wanted to download for my just-ordered Android phone.
Finally, after 45 minutes of tossing and turning and mind OM-ver mattering, I'd finally chilled out. But just as my muscles relaxed, a fierce wind started blowing. It was so forceful the house started to creak. I was sure my 3 year old was awake and pacing on the noisy floorboards, preparing to cry, but when I peeked into her room, she was sound asleep.
Cue the lightning. Then and rain. And thunder. Oh, so much thunder! I slept fitfully for a couple of hours before A really did wake up and cry out in fear.
So 2 poor hours of sleep in my own, comfortable bed were followed by 2 1/2 hours of poor sleep next to A in on her thin twin mattress. And it was still dark, thundering and absolutely pouring all through my morning commute.
There was one sliver lining, though. A told me--for the first time--about a dream she'd had:
"I dreamed last night that I was in a big hallway. There were lots of [silver] buttons in the big hallway. And every time you pressed a button, there'd be a big noise like thunder!"
Also? The temperature dropped 40 degrees from 95 yesterday to a chilly and damp 55 today.

I'm insanely jealous of your thunderstorm.
Actually, I remember those from when I was a kid in North Dakota. They were cool, yet scary in their own way.
I found your article via google and it is exactly about my research topic. No doubt it will be very useful for my future projects.Ray Ban Thank you very much indeed and hope there can be more great resources like this.RayBan Keep sharing such great ideas in the future as well.
