Hunkering Down and Taking It ....... (wink, wink, L)

Well, the hurricane craziness is officially back in Houston. School has been canceled for tomorrow, and we're all ready to face the storm. Our plan is to stay put, unless we lose power and things look bad. Then we'll reassess, and possibly head out of town. Traffic is already bad--it took me almost twice the time it usually does to go the 10 miles from my school to Claire's today. The gas stations I saw were either packed with lines, or empty because they had run out of gas. Jason stopped by HEB on his way home yesterday to get a few more gallons of water. Expecting a fight, he was shocked when there was plenty of water left; it was the quickly depleting supply of Coke people were panicking about. We've got our supplies ready, should the need for canned goods arise. And I'll recreate our little tornado nest in the bathroom so we have a safe place to get to quickly with supplies already stocked. Things are definitely getting interesting......

(And for those of you wondering, Claire had a fantastic day at school today! Practically no tears and she ate all her lunch! Yay!!)
