We are almost there!!
I am sooooo excited about Griffin going back to GSPS next week. Although I love my little guy...I do notice my work slacking which means money slacking....which means not a happy hubby. I have worked some this week (actually here now) and now see how much has been stuck aside since I have only been able to work here and there.
Griffin's birthday is coming up and I can't believe the boy is almost 2. Seems like just yesturday he was an infant. Time sure does fly.
I have been watching alot of news lately with the Hurricaine and can't believe the devestation. It makes us realize how fortunate we are. I mean 4 million people homeless....bam...just like that. I have never been to New Orleans or really anywhere on the Gulf Coast so I can't mentally picture what used to be. There is going to be alot of crazies killing people for a bottle of water...but I gotta tell you if I was in the same situation who knows what you would do. You know being a mother and seeing your kids hungery and thristy will probably make you do crazy things. I wouldn't be to proud to loot if I needed diapers, water, formula or the like for my kids. So I can understand that...but really looting nikes?
I have been having internet problems at home so haven't been able to do as much on here as I would like. They are supposed to come tomorrow between 8 a.m. and 5p.m....really can't they pinpoint a time. Kim--my aunt said they are still working out the bugs on those DVRs that I was telling you about. As soon as she tells me I will let you know. Call me sometime...would love to have lunch while the kiddo's are in school.
I will have to do another blog about our Chicago trip....too much info and really I am supposed to be doing statements. Just thought I would drop a short note.

I also cannot wait for Kaelie to go back to school. Not long now!! I wholeheartedly agree about the hurricane. These folks have been there for 4 freaking days. I want someone to explain how media vehicles can get to them but not water? I know natural disasters aren't a federal government thing. . .but this is ridiculous chaos. Something should have been done sooner. I won't say any negative things about our president, as I don't know how other readers feel. I can say I am a little embarrassed to see how we take care of our own citizens, when we are first to give aid to other nations. Sad, it is all sad. Here in the Chicago Metro/Northwest Indiana area, we already have gas stations out of fuel! This is crazy. I am not a religious person by nature, we don't participate in any organized religion, but my prayers are indeed fast and furious. Not only for the victims and everyone stuck there, but also for the numerous people I have come across online who just have NO COMPASSION whatsoever for these poor people. Like Dawn said. . .you don't know what you would do in that situation.

They called me Friday and said the dress would be ready Tuesday afternoon. Unless I get called up by the church to work I was thinking of running up to Norman/OKC on Thursday. I've also got to go to the Bed, Bath & Beyond up off of 50th & May to get some storage stuff for Maggie's room. Let me know if you're interested; I'd love to have another adult along for a road trip!!
