It still isn't certain where exactly Ike will hit but we are getting ourselves prepared nonetheless. We're still very new to this whole "hurricane" business so, I'll have to post more as I learn. Right now we've gathered all of our non-perishable foods and water. I'm working on making sure I have enough: baby food, formula, diapers, wipes, blankets, pillows, things to keep the kids occupied, clothes, towels, toiletries, important papers and things I don't want to leave behind - just in case- and the list goes on. Thank goodness I've got a mini-van! Not only do I have all of these things plus me and the kiddos to fit in the van but I can't forget Leo and I'm taking care of our friends' dog, Scout. Chris has to stay behind to take care of his duties at the plant so, I'm on my own. If we have to leave I pray everyone will be in good spirits. At least I know my two canine boys will be! Keep us in your thoughts and prayers. I'll take all the prayers that I maintain my sanity that I can get!
I will try to update my blog as much as I can to keep everyone posted. I'm sure everything will be fine. It's just that the uncertain is so scary. A few more seasons of this and we'll be veterans and probably won't even flinch at the news of a storm. Right now, I'm a little freaked out.
