Another day in the closet
Here in our area we had really bad weather on Friday.
The electricity went off right after they announced on the tv that there was a confirmed tornando on the ground on the street that Em's school is off of.
So not only am I in the closet (Kt's closet is the most interior, and remember we are on the 2nd floor of the apartments) so I'm in the dark wondering if a tornado comes will this dresser next to me and all the storage boxes in the top of her closet fall on me, and what about the lady who just ran into the closet on the floor above me...and what about my youngest child who is at school, and is this tornado headed across the interstate toward the other childs school...
I had already talked to hubby and (weather came from his direction)asked him if he was on the lowest level in an interior room and he said "no we are standing in the lobby watching it rain." So I said "well I'm in the closet look for me under the dresser, storage boxes and Kt's dirty clothes."
Well after a period of time I came out of the closet, (LOL) and decided to head towards Em's school since there seemed to be a break in the heavy rain.
After retrieving both kids from school we headed home to find the elctricity still off.
Honey came home, and about an hour later the apartment manager lady was outside and said the elctricity would not be back on until late Saturday night.(This is about 6pm Friday evening.) So I said to Hans why don't we go ahead and got to TX? I can be ready in about 15 minutes. I had done laundry all morning and still had clean clothes laid out for everybody. So we loaded-up and hit the road to his Dad's in Lufkin since it would only take us about 5 & 1/2 hours instead of 7 & 1/2 hours to CS.
We just got home about 7:30 tonight(Sun), so tomorrow I will have to go to the store and replace all of the ruined stuff in the fridge.
I have some pics of some damage from the storm that I'll post, maybe tomorrow!
See ya tomorrow!

The baby girl turns 9
My precious baby girl turns 9 today. What a joy! So full of drama, loves to sing, very outgoing, loves everybody, especially your big sister. I'm so proud of you and look forward to watching you grow into the woman God has planned for you.
Weighing in at 8 lbs & 11 ozs and 21 inches long. Thankfully, by scheduled c-section on Good Friday at 8:30am. She wasn't due until April 9th...can you imagine how big she would have been with 7 more days to "incubate"...
Katie was 4, Hans was 24, and I was 26 years old.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jer. 29:11
