Oh, my... where do I begin???

About two weeks ago we went to Destin for vacation. It was a nice little break away from life... Oh, course, we were visited by Hurricane Faye while there, but it was minor. We really had a good time. When we left there on Thursday we knew we were coming home to another possible vacation. Not the good kind of vacation but a hurricane vacation... We decided to leave some things just packed.

Well, we didn't do a good job planning the evacuation this time. B wanted to go to Hammond. Yes, we were close and didn't have to fight all the traffic, but we lost electricity. That's hard when you have a 20 month old. It's also hard when you are stuck in a motel... no windows to open, no door to be left open, one flashlight... Scary also alone in a motel without your husband because he had to return to work.

Next time, we'll definitely go farther even if it means leaving B closer to home. I understand that he has to return to work, but I have to think of my little one.

On Tuesday early am, we left to go to Mobile. We were going to visit Kristy, but they didn't have electricity either so decided we should go towards lights.

My poor husband has been working a LOT since the storm. Poor Tad doesn't get to see him right now. I'm not sure how long this will go on. Guess it depends on Ike...

I have been doing everything around the house, etc. to try and help B. I cut the grass, cleaned the lawn from the storm. One of my friend's husband then insulted my lawn work. I let him know I don't usually cut the grass and I was just trying to help my poor husband out. B said it was fine and I didn't need to do it. I just feel so sorry for him right now...

Tad and I spent the longest time together since the first six months of his life... My hat goes out to all the SAHMs. I don't know how you do it!! Saturday I went to work for a few hours and left him at my mom's. That was the first and only break we had.

Now, Saturday I received a phone call from daycare... no school this week. Thank goodness for B's sister! She's going to help me out this week. Yeah!!

While on hurricane evacuation I did read a good book. The Lovely Bones - I really enjoyed it. Now I'm reading some vampire book by Stephanie Meyer. Recommended by a friend. This isn't something I'd normally read, but so far it seems interesting... I'll keep you posted.
