IN: Got everything inside . Then a thunderstorm rolled in . A four - hour - long thunderstorm , complete with giant , marble - sized hail . The pics I have of the hail make it look sparse , but believe me , it looked worse before I managed to snap some pics . So anyway , the four of us ( hubby , Mikey , Amanda and me ) were spooning through most of the storm because it was freezing .
Why did I take pictures of the hail during the storm ?

OUT: So I would have proof of how bad the storm was

IN: Scouty threw up four times yesterday , twice last night , and once this morning . Today I took her to the vet . The first diagnosis was " dehydration " and the second " pancreatitis . " She should be fine ; it 's only mild to the lower ranges of moderate .
Why could n't the animal stay at home ?

OUT: It was feeling sick .

IN: He was watching Die Hard with the baby - sitter and I sat with him and we finished watching it after the baby - sitter 's taxi had left to take her home . Owen is always insistent he does n't need a baby - sitter and that he 's old enough at 14 to look after himself and his brother . Seeing how he is with Cam and seeing how he 's grown up I ' ve no doubt this is right but I could n't live with myself if anything happened .
Why did she feel she needed a babysitter ?

OUT:
She would have felt guilty if something bad occurred .
