Ike
Posted on | September 12, 2008 | 6 Comments
Ike just sounds like a bully name, doesn’t it?
Anyway, we’re right in his path. Hopefully, he will weaken to a tropical storm before he gets to us, but right now they’re saying we’ll have hurricane force winds. Last time this happened, during Rita, it shut the town down for a week, because we ran out of gas (evacuees from Houston) and didn’t get our electricity back on for several days.
Sadly, it is almost a sure thing that the electric is going to go. It is all the trees we have around here. They fall on the lines. They also fall on houses. My house is surrounded by trees, one of which is my neighbor’s. That tree is sickly and very large. So…we will be staying at my in-laws again.
I hate storms like this. I hate anything that makes me feel trapped. That’s why I don’t like driving in the country–I feel trapped away from “help”. Save me from my own mind and its ridiculous imagination!
So if I am not blogging for a while, most likely it is because there is no electricity. I’ll be rubbing ice cubes on my body instead…

Yeah, feeling trapped sucks. I understand because I just locked my key in the car ten minutes ago…
I got another question… if there’s no electricity, where are you going to get ice cubes?

Ike is the nickname of Dwight David Eisenhower, a very well known president of the USA. Remember? Maybe he was a bully at times………lol

Hey babe,
Just getting caught up on your last few posts. Saying a prayer for you with the storm. Also, I just wanted to say that it’s tough having the kidos growing up & leaving home … no easy words there … but, it will get better. I’m now at a place where I realize my son is making his own way in the world & although I can be there as a champion, I am not really part of his process … and that is weird.
Anyway, take care of you. Sending love to you & the kidos.
Peace,
JP/deb
