I love the sound of the thunder. It is so calming. When I was a little girl, I couldn't sleep if I knew there was something going on in the living room or kitchen. Fun conversations, games, laughter, etc. But that late at night, if I was in the room with the action, I could easily fall asleep. Something about having those people and those enjoyable moments surrounding me gave me comfort, and sleep came easily.
Something about thunder is comparable to that. It distracts me from my own thoughts that might keep me up. Other, louder, more interesting things are going on, so I can let those take over my mind, and rest myself.
Dad is bringing the full Ohio clan to Illinois next weekend. Geno will be a huge help at Grandma's with his humor and stories. I'll want to have an evening or something with the Ohio peeps and the other Grandparents, but I don't know if Mom's guilting (or my own) will allow it. Character-building times ahead.
