We had a thunder and lightening storm last Tuesday night it was nasty. Anyway my husband was up and hysterical at 11pm saying that I should get the baby and we should go down to the family room, I ignored him of course. Then he went to the refrigerator and started eating. Needless to say my mother was hysterical laughing, the baby woke up and was crying my nine year old was crying. I told my husband not to take my job away and that is I AM THE NUT OF THE HOUSE WHO PANICS! I told him worry about the nukes that are hidden not the lightening!
