Returning to normal?

So unless you live under a rock, most of you know that Southeast Texas was hit by a nasty hurricane named Ike! Well unfortunately I can say that I have weathered (no pun intended) a hurricane. Although we were not directly in the line of the hurricane, because Ike was so big, we did receive a lot of wind (70 mph at least) and rain. Thankfully the new house seemed to withstand pretty good. The fence not so much, part of it that was attached between the house and the gate twisted in the wind and fell over. Also, because we lost power from 1:30 a.m. Saturday morning until 4:30 p.m. Monday, most everything in the fridge/freezer had to go, for future reference if you have an ice/water dispenser be sure to plug up the dispenser hole, or you will have leaks as the ice in the dispenser tray melts!! But, we can be thankful that is all we lost.

It was definitely an experience I hope I never have to have again! Our thoughts and prayers are with all the people who lost a little, a lot, or everything!

So now everyone is trying to return to normal, schools are opening back up this week, businesses are getting power back and reopening. That said I am back to the daily grind as well. Trying to maintain a schedule with Xander, as well as looking for child care, taking care of the house, tying up loose moving ends (change of address anyone?)! It is definitely a lot harder to do things when you have a curious little boy with you! I think things take twice as long!!!

Well back to it! The little one will be waking up soon!
