Momma I’m Comin’ Home
We woke up in Dallas Saturday morning to the news that the hurricane hit to the North of us. Our area got a lot of wind and some rain, but no storm surge, and my world as I knew it did not come to an end. WHEW
Immediately Johnny started talking about going [...]

Just bitching again
Posted by Shana Published in Bitching, Rita Evacuation, Trouble, Working like a dawgLook “un-named Houston area print shop” customers of mine… we were gone last week, too. We weren’t here printing and designing your jobs while you evacuated. Therefore, no, they are not ready. I do not care that you placed your order 2 weeks ago. Take a week off of that complaint, bitches! We weren’t here!! [...]

Today is one of *those* days. Nothing is going right. I just want to throw my hands up in the air and give up! (What I really want to do it go get a hair cut)
I’m considering taking back what I said last night. I’m thinking that right about now, hunkering down and battening DOWN [...]

I would like to call for an immediate discontinuation of the phrase, “Hunker Down.”
If someone tells me to my face to get on in there and hunker down, I’ll punch them in the teeth. If they keep saying it on the news, well I’ll just have to keep throwing my fists up in the air [...]

The bank opened today!! FINALLY! Here’s what they say on their website:
In response to the evacuation and limited operating hours, the credit union will waive all overdraft fees from Wednesday, September 21st thru Tuesday, September [...]

Day one of the “I survived Hurricane Rita Mass Evacuation”
Let’s start with a little Green Day to set the mood:
“This is a public service message, this is only a test…emergency, evacuation protest”
I *told* you that they have a song for every occasion - mood - thought - obsession :cough:
Back to the Future Wednesday
So anyways, let’s [...]

We’re home…for reals!
Posted by Shana Published in Bitching, My Man, My kids, Politically Incorrect, Rita Evacuation, TroubleGood Lord, that was the absolute worst 5 days EVER!
However, we were extremely lucky and I am very grateful. I’m not even going to bitch about our local government, which you know for me is a big stretch. Yes, there were 2 million of the wrong people on the road all at once. BUT there [...]

Another very scary drive, but scary for different reasons this time. We were advised not to come home yet but it looked like we would be stuck up there for a very long time if we waited for the ok. We went home and found our house ok but with no power. My grandma got [...]

My parents got a hotel in Northern LA for tomorrow night and the next day they will decide whether to go down to Kinder where they already have that reservation for 3 suites. If it cutting it too close, they’ll go to Dallas instead.
So we may meet up with them depending on what happens, I [...]

Well we are gonna leave!
Posted by Shana Published in Bitching, My Man, My Parents, My kids, Nana, Rita Evacuation, TroubleEveryone around here is leaving for hurricane Rita tonight and tomorrow. At this point they are expecting it to be a category 4 and to make landfall right below us, which means that we will get the storm surge, wind and rain here. That’s IF it stays on the current track. It’s still several days [...]

Courtney was a WILD woman last night! The little turkey woke up at 2 am and wanted to go to the living room to get “goodies” i.e. stickers. So it’s the middle of the night and she’s laughing and yelling, “bye bye mommy…goodies!” I closed my bedroom door so she couldn’t get out, put her [...]

This is probably not good, wherever it decides to go. Personally, I’m hoping for it to go SOUTH, very much SOUTH.

Courtney and her La La and other stuff
Posted by Shana Published in Hur. Katrina, Mommy observations, My kids, PhotosHere are some videos I took last night (from the camera that takes the crappy videos - sorry)
Courtney playing her sister’s La-La (guitar) and singing:

We have a DVD of “They Might Be Giants, Here Come the ABC’s.”
That is one weird DVD, lemme tell you! In one of the songs, they sing, “Q, U! Q, U!” I was in the kitchen talking to Nikki the first time I heard it. They started singing it and we both stopped talking, looked [...]

Need more prednisolone for the warp drive, captain!
Posted by Shana Published in Idiotic musings, My kids, Working like a dawgI took Kristen to the doc this morning and her O2 level was 92%, which is not good. They gave her 2 treatments while we were there which brought it up to 96% and they consider that acceptable. She agreed that it would be better for her to be getting her medicine through the nebulizer [...]

(Censor is one of those funny looking words, isn’t it? c ensor censor censor)
The networks have a 7 second delay when they think something bad might happen.
I think that blogger should have a 24 hour delay on my blog.

We’re back home with Kristen tonight. Everyone except for Nikki is feeling bad now (colds, sore throat).
They sent us home with an INHALER! Gawd I hate those things! Nikki couldn’t use them correctly and Kristen apparently can’t, either. This doctor came in and started “educating” me on how to use it. I tried to tell [...]

I had a radio interveiw this morning with a station in Atlanta about our hurricane relief efforts on KOM.
I was so nervous, and they called 5 minutes before the interview and put me on hold, which made me even more nervous. I guess I did OK. I would have done better if I wasn’t so [...]

Well I found out why we weren’t on the news this morning. They wanted to wait and get a shot of Laura handing one of the kids the gifts. I think that’s a neat idea.
BUT…she got there this morning to [...]
