Today

Ok, so our most important electrical/mechanical items in our house have decided to either fritz out or were messed up by our own hands. Our AC has been acting up for the last few weeks, our dryer is not drying very well, and now just today I slammed my phone in between the car and the trunk. My screen has a beautiful orange burst on it but I cannot see anythign else on there and no one can hear me when I call them. So ... there you have it. Of coarse this would all happen at the most inconvenient times .... and it is these times I quietly wish for someone to pass the buck to, for someone I could turn to and say here honey you handle this while I finish with the kids, for someone elses paycheck to be deposited into my checking account in addition to my own. It is in these moments I secretly wish prince charming was not some dreamed up fairy tale of a man but rather a true to life human who will show up on his whte hoarse to help me get through days,moments,times like this. I am still trying to think flexible here God I am trying I am really really trying.

So today it looks as if we will not be affected by hurricane Gustav. Of coarse at this point hurricane Katrina was still heading for Texas and we all know how that one ended up. I am not putting much stock into what the predictions are just yet, not until it is in the gulf but even then there are last minute shifts so it's really anyone's guess. There are no predictions that this will be anywhere near HK as I lovingly refer to her but I dont want to be around for any hurricane. The thought of loosing power, with 3 children here by myself is not appealing. Not at all. So as it stands we are heading for the hills. There is a rumor that if we are still in the cone there will be a mandatory evacuation and sure dont want to get caught in all that madness. I will update when possible to let everyone know how we are doing. Oh and all my numbers were saved to my phone and not my sim card so I lost all of them too. I dont memorize numbers much anymore so chances are if you werw someone I talk to often your number has been lost, please call me soon so I can add you back on the phone list.
stay safe
peace and blessings
