Since When Did I Stop Being Afraid...

Of tornadoes? Seriously. I never realized how carefree I am about them. 
What's that? Tornado sirens? Eh. I'm just going to lay in bed, go back to sleep.


Wtf kind of attitude is that?? When we first moved here back in 97', I remember running to the hallway with mattresses and pillows every time there was a warning out. Which, living in this area, means most of April-June you're in the hallway with your head covered. 


Maybe it's just the fact that I've never once been in a scary situation. No trees have ever fallen on my house. I've never seen a tornado. The worst that has ever happened is my grill or patio set got turned over. 


Having a baby now, and realizing how indifferent I am to these warnings, kinda scares me a little. Am I being too careless? Should I get him out of bed at 1 am to huddle in the hallway for something that's probably not going to affect us? Am I being an irresponsible adult? I would feel absolutely terrible if something happened and I didn't bother to get up and get him. But I feel crazy jumping to conclusions and freaking out every time one of these warnings hits.


I do, most of the time, turn on the weather to see if there is an actual touchdown. I would hide for a touchdown. 


Maybe it's normal to become desensitized to these things. Or maybe it's just my personality?


I hope everyone stays safe during this weather and impending flooding. Until next time!
