I was all excited today because there was a good chance of some thunderstorm action late afternoon or evening. I spent the day in anticipation of the event for a few reasons. One, because I do love a good thunderstorm. It is one thing I miss about south Florida. And two, it is so stinking hot here that I figured a really good thunderstorm would go a long way to cooling things off a bit. Around 6:30, the radar was lit up with a line of nice looking storms stretching from New Hampshire southwest back into western Mass. And they were moving towards me! The skies got very, very dark. I turned off the computer and waited. And I waited. Went downstairs did a little work in the basement and waited. Came back upstairs around 7:30 to...nothing? Where did my thunderstorms go??? Turned back on the computer and checked out the radar. Oh my poor thunderstorms....I guess it wasn't as juicy and unstable as I thought here in Fitchburg because they literally died into puny little showers as they approached. Oh well. Tomorrow is another day...and a cold front is approaching!
On the baby front: Elisabeth has suddenly turned into a shrieking monster...and not in a good way. I'm not sure if it's separation anxiety or what. The past week whenever I leave the room she totally loses it. She cries like someone is amputating her limbs or something equally as dreadful. For a while she was very good about me leaving the room for short periods of time. I would always leave her with something to do (toys, exersaucer) and she would be perfectly happy. Now it's worse than it ever was before. It's starting to get very exhausting. The past two days she's cried so hard that she's thrown up, which she really hadn't done with me for the past few months. Today it was particularly disgusting...I'll spare you the gory details but let's just say it occurred only 10 minutes after she ate apples and chicken for dinner. I'm very much looking forward to tomorrow when she goes for her weekly play day at Jani's house, and she is spending the night to give me some time to get stuff ready for Jessica and Jack's arrival. I guess I can be thankful that she is still sleeping through the night and went down for bed tonight with no problems.
I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow at a new place. We'll see how it goes. Hopefully better than the last place I went to around here. That haircut was terrible. Nice stylist but awful haircut. I shudder thinking about it. Here's to hoping I don't come home with scary hair!

Too bad you weren't in Louisville last night, we had some serious thunderstorms!
Georgia has just started having some separation anxiety as well. Fortunately, not to the point of puking, just whining and pouting like I have mistreated her!
Yep, we had some serious t-storms here as well. Abby was huddled by my side for two straight hours between 6 pm and 8 pm. She kept looking up at me like, "Please, can't you make it stop." I was sitting by the window watching in glee.
Shrieking baby with separation anxiety does not sound like fun. Hope you have a good/restful day off...and of course have fun with Jessica and Jack!
Ahhh, separation anxiety. What fun, what fun! Anyone have a xanex?
I feel your pain...
Have fun on your night off!
Is there a good way to turn into a shrieking monster? :)
Come visit if you need a thunderstorm...here in the lightning capital we suddenly can't get them to go away after a long nasty drought.
Love you, cheesehead!
