Oh, it's going to be a wait and see game for the next couple of days here but it doesn't look good. I still need to lay in a few more hurricane supplies and then just hope for the best. We are planning on staying since we are not that close to a big body of water. It's the wind I'm worried about since we are surrounded by huge pine trees.
Yesterday afternoon I was on bus duty at school when my phone rang. We are not supposed to get calls at work. It was my daughter calling. Day before yesterday was her birthday and she and BF had gone to Mexico for a couple of days of R and R. (she lives in L.A.) I told her I couldn't talk but would call her back as soon as I could. I called her about 20 minutes later when I got home and she said "I'm kind of busy right now, I'll call you back in a few minutes?".
About a 1/2 an hour after that my oldest son came in and shouted "hello!!" and I yelled back "I'm in the back!" I heard his boots on the wooden floor and they sounded kind of "clacky". I looked up from the computer and there was my daughter standing in the doorway!!!!!! My jaw dropped to the floor. I've only seen her once in over a year and was so thrilled. She is supposed to fly back out of New Orleans on Sunday. uh oh. I might get to keep her longer if she can't get a flight out of Baton Rouge back to LA. Obviously she and BF were NOT in Mexico. She got to N.O. at one o'clock yesterday morning and my ex husband picked her up there and they got to spend the day together and my son came in from Baton Rouge to join them after he got finished with his classes. I have never been so surprised in my life. Not the best time for a visit though with so much going on with the storm. But I'm not complaining!
