That's what a 2 year old does. Warp speed and dead to the world. There's a bit of comotose in there prior to the dead to the world.
Hold on--that's a tad like the Nana.
Must be genetic.
It was a crazy weekend.
I've decided the girl is a menace to fair week.
Last year it was the flood when the dam broke.
This year it was hurricane like winds and rain.
I need to call the insurance agent this morning--one limb down (thankfully just a limb--two houses down two trees on the house) and one gutter damaged. Ah well....it'll get fixed.
Oh, but what a storm. HOLY cow.
I got a bit frantic--20 thousand people exiting a concert in 70mph winds, raining and lightening like crazy. I just wanted to grab 'em all and have them take shelter with us....which ended up in a small party under the carport and in the garage until it let up enough for people to get safely to their cars. The girl is soooo much like me--she's yelling at them from the front, I'm trying to snag 'em in the back. Meanwhile himself is telling me to calm down cuz he was pretty sure I was going to stroke out. LOL He didn't get it until after it passed and he saw the limbs and trees down and a gal told him she bolted for where the girl was when the limb from the tree came crashing down in front of her. Thank goodness it wasn't ON her. Bit nuts for about 40 minutes.....3.5" of rain later the wind ceased and people migrated on while I surveyed the broken pots on the patio. Poor Triffid blew over and shattered his pot--I'm hoping I can salage him today. Himself says not--but I gotta try cuz.....
Good fun, lemme tell ya.
AND we made the newspaper cuz one of the storm victims was a reporter who wrote about the kindness of strangers.
Himself things he shoulda wrote about the insanity of one woman who was rainsoaked, IN the winds and lightening, waving people to shelter and pleading with people to PLEASE get under the carport/in the garage. LOL Yep, I was more than a bit concerned.
I dried.
But boy was I scared for people.
*shaking head*
Since when?!
Ah well--guess being a 'compassionate' person means you get a bit soaked now and then.
But we had the bug and the girl and the other other boy for the weekend!
And we had LOTS of fun!
AND we found bugs....and coloured on sidewalk..AND had bubbles!!!

Glad you got through the storm okay. I was out riding on Saturday and a small blast went through while we were inside eating lunch! Good timing, eh?
Ptherwise, everything missed us, and me as i was out and about.
I hope the car port wasn't one opf those metal affairs, that'd be bad news if there was lightning.
You did good to let folks know you had some shelter.
Peace
I would give just about anything to deal with a storm right now...
Sounds like the rest was fun...of course because of the little one!!
Scary, scary stuff storms, never experienced a bad one myself ....and brave you!
Nana time is wonderful isn't, and having the wee ones parents is wonderful too I think.
Yes, I do remember last year at this time when the dam broke.
" got a bit frantic--20 thousand people exiting a concert in 70mph winds, raining and lightening like crazy."
Holy cow!
I lived in Florida and experienced more than a couple of those and they're VERY scary!
"AND we made the newspaper cuz one of the storm victims was a reporter who wrote about the kindness of strangers."

So glad to hear you're alright and that you had fun inspite of the hurricane, Mel!
