I was just coming to check on you two. tgrimes I am praying hard that this moves through faster than expected and water stays out of the house. How's the in laws? I think my in laws are okay so far. My SIL's house is very close to having water in it.

My SIL's house is very close to having water in it. Oh man that is an awful feeling. Seeing it right there and knowing more is coming and there is nothing you can do.

Morning all.
I was in such a funk yesterday afternoon and evening so pardon my absence here; I am headed out of town to a friend's baby shower in a couple weeks and seriously cannot wait--I really need a break from mom'ing for a day or two.
DH made waffles this morning and after C's nap we're just doing some errands; our new friends are coming over for dinner and swimming tonight.

I'm so sorry classymrsa tgrimes aggiebug. That looks so scary. I hope that the rain slows down and the damage is minimal. I wish there was something I could do from here. Is there an organization that I can donate to?

Also, for anyone that needs birthday or holiday gift ideas for the N16 kids...a pop-up tunnel.
Santa brought B one the year he turned 1 and it was a hit; he's still playing with it and now C loves it too. They had it out this morning and were having a ball.

Also on this note, we just brought up B's old yellow Fisher Price talking chair and J LOVES it.

Thanks for posting this! I always go straight to donating to the Red Cross because it's all I can ever think of so it's nice to see what other options are out there.

tgrimes is there anything we can do? Food? Supplies? Things that may be in short supply in your area that can be sent out to CA for you to take back on the plane?

There's a Melissa and Doug caterpillar tunnel in the cabinet I'm storing M's Christmas gifts in! I wasn't sure how well it would go over.

Taking just a moment to pause while organizing and unpacking to say hi. I hope you guys are enjoying the end of summer!!!
Also, last night I had a dream I could control sasquatch using magical powers and was using big foot to defeat my enemies. I also tried to use my powers to give H a 6-pack but apparently I am not that good a witch.

Thanks ladies. We really are ok. Our fence is broken and I think we're going to lose one of our trees, maybe two. But we aren't at risk of flooding or anything. I'm so sorry tgrimes. We are thinking of you and your family. If we can do anything to help, let me know.

tgrimes I just can't imagine how you're feeling right now. I'm sorry. How is your family doing? MH is being nonchalant about the whole thing which is pissing me off. My mother is annoying the shit out of me and my dad thinks he's in Georgia. He's doing really well with his physical therapy though.

tgrimes I'd be losing my shit as well for fear of being so far away from the kids and damage to the house/danger to us, the neighbors, the aftermath... I am so sorry you are going through this. Above all I hope everyone is just safe, safe and warm and fed and without fear ❤️
