Might As Well Be A Shoe Box

So I was reminded this morning by a friend on fb that I am indeed in tornado season. Tornado season can be scary I'm sure even when you live in, uh let's see, a regular brick house in Texas. But its a whole new level when you live in a freaking flimsy 24 foot camper! I am learning that fire warnings and high wind warnings are pretty much an every day thing here in West Texas. I am not in agreement with this! We moved here in August of 2010, where I quickly learned exactly what a, "high wind" warning was and how high they get! For instance when its blowing 60 mph it really feels like a 100 mph. When my camper is moving around like it has the stomach flu, it does not feel safe! I repeat Does Not Feel Safe! I learned how to gaither personal items, kids and dogs and kinda gently throw them into my Ford Explorer. After going thru a fire, mold infestation, and uh well I don't feel like being in my camper if it decides to blow over. Plus I most certainly do not want to be in the shower fo sho! This wind and tornado season though, I will learn from last years vacating experiences. First and for most, don't leave at the drop of a hat, secondly don't freak the kids out, thirdly don't lose the dog, oh yeah and last but not least, make sure your vehicle has gas! I could go through greater detail on all the hysterical things we grab when vacating and how we react, but you might die of laughter. This tornado season I will not be leaving so quickly, as it can totally rearrange ones day, we will practice calmly gathering items that make sense and not injuring a child mentally or physically when loading the vehicle. Really though I am most certainly dreading tornado season!
