I guess I should say hi and not just butt in, lol. Hi! DH and B are out running some errands and I'm getting ready while C naps. We're having friends over to eat tonight and I want to get a couple things for that baby gift I mentioned to y'all. So I asked B what he wanted to be for Halloween this morning and he said he wants to wear his flight suit again! We are in the cradle of Naval aviation so I doubt he'll be the only little aviator running around, but hey, I don't have to figure out a costume! He did ask if he could get a 'new pumpkin' (his $.99 pumpkin treat bucket broke last year). Yeah, I guess we can swing that

I haven't read all the way. Thinking of your family tgrimes. I'd be freaking out too. Hopefully it stops soon.. If one more kid pushes Jack out of the way on this play ground, I'm going to flip out on some parents.

And since I'm here, I might as well share my day. Took the kiddies to church and C was a crazy ass per usual. He threw a tantrum in the aisle during a moment when it was quiet. How embarrassing. Later today we are going apple picking w another couple we are friends with. They have kids the same ages as ours, so it'll be a good time.

tgrimes do you need any help. I can drive down after work if you need someone. Even if it's to vent or bring wine. 🍷 Seriously, you are the best. You're always ready and willing to be there for your friends, I want to be your neighbour. She really is the sweetest.

Quiet day here. We took the kids on a little walk and I need to get to the grocery store at some point.
It's supposed to be over 100 with 90% humidity all week. Yuck.

MH just received the call to send some his LE staff with boats to TX to assist with the water rescues. They are gathering up gear and will be heading that way soon. They were mostly ready as they were in standby mode already.

tgrimes are you guys friends with any of your neighbors who might have a second floor? If it looks like it's going to get worse then maybe he could take them over there? I hope the water recedes and it's not necessary, though. I'm sure my anxiety would be at a 10 not being with them but he seems calm and that's good. MH is always calm and it kisses me off. lol. My anxiety is really high right now and I'm dealing with my mother being nauseous/crying and my dad thinking he's in a guesthouse, not the hospital. Fuck. Sorry. That's a lot. MH is that way too. And it always seems to ramp me up to make me even more pissed. So I get it

MH just received the call to send some his LE staff with boats to TX to assist with the water rescues. They are gathering up gear and will be heading that way soon. They were mostly ready as they were in standby mode already. Please send him my address. 😩 I wish it were that easy. They don't even know where they are reporting to yet. They were told to head that direction and they will be given further information when they get closer. Which won't be till late tonight of course because MO is a long way from TX. Do you guys have some kind of emergency plan in place for in case you loose communication? Like, if he is able to get out at some point where will he go with the kids? I would assume that there is an emergency shelter set up somewhere. When we went through our flood in April (which was devastating but no where near what TX is experiencing) all landlines and cell phone lines went down eventually (except for my provider, which was not the most common around here). So there was a huge communication breakdown. Our LE and emergency services folks in all the counties still had radio service though, so they could talk to each other. I don't say this to freak you out any. But more so as a "just in case" thing, if you hadn't thought of that yet, it might be a good conversation to have (which I am sure you already have). Communication stayed down in our area (which, again was not hit as bad as TX) for several days for cell phones. Landlines took a month to restore because the hub/main station was completly destroyed. But since we are small rural communities, most people were able to figure out where/find their loved ones.

lfig He would have to be rescued by boat so I'm not sure where they would take them. They're setting up some shelters around the area but I don't know if any close to them. I'll check that out. During hurrricane Ike the cell phones were down for a couple days but landlines still worked, we don't have a land line but my in laws do.

I feel like MH is being too nonchalant about this whole thing. I realize I might be over reacting, but the reality that our house could flood is definitely possible. I told him to blow up the air mattress just in case he needs to put the kids on it and get out of the house.
