The one night this week I get to go to bed early, and the fucking THUNDERSTORMS and LIGHTNING keep me up all night.

I seriously thought the lightning was going to burst through my window after it set off the alarm at Brahler's. I thought the lightning was going to steal my car after it shut off the power to our house.

And I imagined the poor chi and my nephews quivering in the dark. Khalil is scared of thunderstorms, like his mother (and probably his father too - what a bunch of babies).
