My goodness, it's been a brutal few days. tuesday, as some know, a storm blew in and reaked havok on our home. Our fence in the whole townhouse complex is gone now (from the wind) and we lost our awning in our yard, a tree hit our roof, a tree branch broke a window. We were over 30 hrs without power, so that meant no heat, hot water ect, as we are on electric heating. We couldn't get food from a restaurant because most roads were closed off, and still are. Even the shopping malls were closed...gasp lol.


The winds where we live were between 68-74 miles per hour. The power just came back on about 5 hrs ago, so I quickly boiled water, because there is a water advisory, and boiled more to clean Jett's bottles, and threw a load of mixed (ick) laundry in.


The storm is picking back up right now, so I may not be back for a few days.


Have a good weekend, and thanks to everyone who said I looked good in that pic of me and dh from a while back LOL!

thanks Dawn!


I am soooooo excited to have access to the internet, there is no way I can sleep lol. The last 2 nights we sat around the fireplace (thank God it is wood buring lol) and stared at it, and went to bed by 8:30 because there was not much to eat and the kids were going crazy because they were bored (we did feed them very well btw...just not ourselves lol...we were enjoying a liquid dinner lol)


I hope its over, but, the wind is starting to sceam again. I just pray I have power in the morning because tomorrow is day 3 of me not having a shower lol.

oh man! That sounds really scary. Tornadoes are one of my all-time biggest fears. (B/c they strike with virtually no warning. Like spiders and snakes. Very insidious.) Anyway.... I'm glad to hear you guys are alright. I hope it stays that way! :) G/L!!

It is good to hear that you all are fine. Sorry you had to go without power for so long. I have been there when the power went out in Jacksonville for a whole day and a half. No fun....
Check back in when you can.

Oh Lesley, how horrible. I hope your weather calms down and you can get your shower. :) It is tough not to have electricity and water. Hope all is well by the weekend.
