But last night was a bit scary. I've been through many natural disasters and usually I think they are rather exciting. But I've never been through one as a mom. Especially as a mom whose child is not with her during ravaging tornadoes, flooding, etc. Especially because my son's father wouldn't answer my calls or texts. And thankfully, while tornadoes ravaged areas in a ten mile radius where I live, my home and my family were safe. However, the dipshit man I procreated with told me later when he dropped off my baby, that he let him play outside on a playground during a time when the entire county was under a tornado watch and it was recommended to get into a basement if possible. I am still seething even though my baby is okay. And sadly, since my son came home okay, it probably won't matter in court...it's just very frustrating.

While my home, car and family were left without a scratch, the area I grew up in just one town away was devastated. It will be so weird to go back and see it. Luckily, most of my friends and family moved out of the neighborhood a while ago.
It was just shocking, and a reminder that anything can happen anywhere...
