VGNO Glad the Storm is over

I am so glad that it is Friday. It has been a very busy week. It has rained so much that I think that I need to build a boat. I went to pick up Brookster at school today and I was sitting in the car when a teacher came out to say that we were in a tornado warning. This meant that I could not get Brookster until it was over. When I went in side I have a whole new appreciation for the teachers. There were so many kids crying because they were scared of the storms. All of the kids were sitting outside in the halls and the teachers were trying to calm them all down. The principal was so calming that she even calmed me down. The students were not allowed to leave at the normal dismissal time because of the storm so that was very upsetting to some of the kids. The teachers were doing a very good job in calming down the kids. Once we finally got to leave I found out that a tornado passed right over the school but luckily did not touch down any where. I am so thankful to God for keeping all of those kids safe.


I hope that everyone has a great Virtual Girls Night Out. Go visit over at Ann's to see what everyone else is doing tonight.

  3. So glad you were safe from the tornado.

    In grade school we had a tornado! Very scary. We were in the basement of the school (never knew the school had a basement). When we came out HALF the school was gone. I'll never forget the kids clapping and cheering and the teacher's mouth wide open with shock.

    Happy VGNO

  11. Oh my goodness! I am so thankful it didn't touch down too! I would have been totally freaked out, I am terrified of tornadoes! I haven't actually been in one, and I admit I think it would be cool to see one, but the thought of being IN one is just so scary! The fact that I live in the middle of flat farm land doesn't exactly help anything ;-)

    Thanks for stopping by and happy VGNO and Mothers Day!
