Auntie Em! Auntie Em!

So this morning was a fun adventure! My H called me at about 10 mins to 9am and said I better keep an eye on the weather because there was a storm coming toward us. Great, for the first time in awhile dd was taking an awesome morning nap, now she is going to wake up or I'll have to get her up.
I noticed the wind and rain picking up. My H calls back and said "get in the basement."
So this wouldn't be a big deal IF we didn't live in a house that is almost 100 years old. We have a crawl space basement and you have to go outside and lift a door off the ground to get in, like an "auntie Em" situation. If you don't get that reference, we can't be friends.
So the wind is whipping, rain is pouring. I grab dd, the diaper bag, the boppy and a blanket. I throw the blanket over her and go outside. Imagine me juggling the child the bag and the pillow while being poured on and trying to lift a heavy wooden door off the ground. It sucked balls.
Luckily dd was awesome while in the basement. Once DH called and gave me the all clear, we crawled out of the basement and find our heavy wicker love seat slammed against the pillars of our front porch and our nice grill that we got for a wedding gift last summer was on its side, dented and the propane tank is falling out. Sweet.
Good morning to me! At least we didn't get hurt but that sucked big time.
