Hurry up and WAIT.

Darn you, Ike.

We are headed to my mom’s house for the next couple of nights.  It looks like the city is anticipating some major power outages, if nothing else, so I’m packing up the kids and heading north!  Fingers crossed that the 30 mile voyage to Mom’s won’t take NINE hours like it did in 2005 for Hurricane Rita.  I can’t believe Matt has to work late tonight.  Seriously?  What about your helpless wife and children at the mercy of Mother Nature??  

Oh, I kid.  He’s just a loyal, hard-workin’ dude and I admire him for it.  But really, Matt, COME HOME SOON and get your arse up to Conroe!  Pretty please.  :) 

I hate all of the unnecessary panic and chaos, but I sure don’t want to be the lone dumbass stuck in an A/C-less house for days because I didn’t make a move at the right time.  So here we go.  

Darn you, Ike.
