Yo. Packing the kids and myself up. Heading to my parents after nap time and ready for this bitch to be over.
The work up before the storm is the worst along with the waiting. But I might be dreading the humidity after the storm more as we most likely won't have power.
Conditions expected for my area include lots of rain, high winds, tornandos, and loss of power.
News is saying if you plan on evacuating to leave now. Plan on being wherever you plan on being by 5pm.
And my h hit the road to head to Atl and Tn this morning.

E is still asleep. I've been waking him at 7 this week It's almost 730. He threw up everywhere last night so I'm not sure if I should let him sleep or wake him.

RunsforWineandCarbs glad you're going to your parents' place. I would feel much better not being by myself with 2 kids. This storm is no joke.

Hi friends! I'll probably mostly be lurking like crazy during the week and maybe checking in on the weekends! DH is sailing all day today, but E and I have stuff to do. Grocery store, farmers market, a party with some friends in the late afternoon/evening. Maybe my nephew's soccer game if I'm not too tired early afternoon. I did take some reflux meds last night finally, what a difference. I think I slept a lot better. Propping up with pillows just wasn't cutting it. Best of luck to our FL gals and their families, RunsforWineandCarbs, hiimjamie. Betweenthelines, hope everything goes well for your dad with his surgery too. First days of school with my students went well, I think I have some good groups this year. E is sleeping better, still in our bed with me but at least not waking and hysterical. We're using a night light, which seems to be what he needs. Day care is going much better so once we are fully transitioned with that, we'll try to switch him to a big boy bed in his room. I also found temporary care (at the center I wanted) while our day care provider is on maternity leave starting in December. So much has been going on!

Abigail woke up extra early and then threw a big fit when I tried to bring her into my bed. Woke the whole damn house. There went my plan to get up and shower before all the kids woke.

Morning! It's looking worse and worse for Tampa. They're evacuating Zone A and B now in our county. We're Zone C so we're still in waiting mode. Like RunsforWineandCarbs said, you should be where you're going by 5pm so I doubt they'll decide to evacuate us later bc that leaves basically no time to leave. Zone C is BIG and we're in the middle of it I can't imagine evacuating that many people at the last minute would be responsible. They keep stressing that you evacuate bc of flooding NOT wind so at 19ft above sea level, 5 miles inland and on the second floor we should be ok. Our entrance is ground level but we only keep shoes and coats down there and we can move hem easily. We were going to get sandbags but honestly, we're renting. If the tile gets damage it's not on us anyway.

Yesterday was a bitch of a day. H stayed home because we're behind on packing... he now has 2 weeks minus a day to take when Jack is born. Nothing he planned to do got done because he spent the entire day dealing with the shot I was trying to do and apparently couldn't. My battery died Thursday- still under warranty- I take the receipt (also from a free replacement) and the battery to the dealership... 7 1/2 months pregnant with a toddler and the guy is giving me shit. He said I need the original receipt... I explained this is the receipt for the battery in question, he refuses to help me. I was already not feeling great and I knew if I stayed longer, I'd start crying and I didn't want to be that person, so I left and cried on the way home. I got all my receipts and H decided fuck that and fuck them and came with me. They never looked at the other receipts. It was a different guy that helped him, but I plan on filing a complaint. That was complete bullshit. The day just continued with shut like that and ended with a butter knife falling off the counter and stabbing me in the foot. It wasn't super deep and the bleeding wasn't terrible, but it's throbbing like crazy. Today will be a better day.

hiimjamie- I feel better that you're on the 2nd floor. I've seen pics you've posted and thought you were 1st floor. Stay safe and keep us up to date if you can.

mrspiatt, I would definitely file a complaint. I'm sorry that guy was such a jerk to you— and seriously, why would he put more stress on someone obviously pregnant with a toddler?! I hope your foot is ok, and today is a better day.

I'm glad to have a low key weekend at home, so I can get back to my routine. Swam laps and then did art & swim at the Y with Poppy. Headed to the farmers market and no real other plans. It's sunny and in the 70's here, so pretty perfect.

Quick bike ride this morning, I've done 55 miles for this week! Now the kiddies and I are headed to the store for snacks for preschool, then we have a small party this afternoon. I slept like 3 hours last night, so I'm hoping for worn out kids. It's a beautiful day here, and I'm worried worried worried about everyone in FL. RunsforWineandCarbs and hiimjamie, please check in as needed. Please keep you phones plugged in most of the day so they are full power upon power outage.
