The Busy Life of a Single Mom

That’s my feelings today.  We’ve been up and waiting on the first signs all day, but alas, today is a hot summer day here in East Texas….not even seeing the wind yet.  Honestly, I’d almost rather be in school.  Sitting around watching the weather makes me nervous.  Of course every newscaster is stressing that even though still a Category 2, the size makes Ike really dangerous.  Being the distance from the coast I am, the size make Ike much more dangerous for us as it means that he’ll be big enough to really cause damage here…hours from the coast.  I’ve cleaned house.  I’ve graded papers.  I’ve got everything done I can think of to prepare….Now if he’s coming, I just wish he’d get here and get it over with.  *sigh*
