Well we weatherd hurricane Ike quite well. The storm hasn't been the problem for us as much as the aftermath has. We lost power on Friday night and it hasn't been restored. They tell us that we are very low on the priority list for power restornation and it could be 2-4 weeks. We took off for Dallas with three other families and have become refugees, or as Tom likes to call us "fugees." In Houston things are rough, little food, questionable water, and little gas. We drove about 100 miles from town before we even found gas or power. You should have heard Drew's amazement when we saw lights! Mom they have power!!!
This has been an adventure. At one rest stop Drew stepped in fire ants and we ended up with them in our car and car seats. Jack's potty training has been a little bit off since our life is upside down. Today he pooped in the hotel bath tub, fun. Trying to communicate with the cleaning lady was interesting as she kept telling me the spray I wanted was bad for babies. I assured her I wouldn't use it on the baby. Today on a nice little trip to the zoo we were stopped in traffic for almost one hour. Is someone playing a joke on us???
Not sure what our next step is. I have to work this weekend so we will be heading home for that and then who knows. At least we have our friends to laugh with here.
Tonight Jack was having a hard time going to sleep at the hotel and Drew told him that he would keep him safe :)
