Weekend Stuffs

So...have you heard about hurricane Sandy?  Yeah, I live in Maryland.  Go me.  Saturday we bustled around trying to get ready for the storm.  Luckily, I have my energy back.  I was SO tired.  I feel almost normal again.  I was able to get some cleaning done, and in case you're worried, we have enough extension cords to be a wasted when we lose power.  :)  Kevin bought a bunch of outlets and extension cords.  We have a generator, so I guess they could be useful.  

It's funny what people buy at impending doom.  I got play-doh today.  Ours is all dried up, and I always pass it and think I'll buy it next time.  So today, I got it.  The kids have already played with it.  We walked in right as they were placing a palette of water down.  We grabbed another pack just in case.  By the time we left, there were no waters left.  I feel bad that maybe some people there needed it more, but I am a firm believer in Murphy.  If we have water, we won't need it.  We are short on batteries though, so I hope that's not a problem.

We have lots of dinners to have on our gas stove top.  We have a gas fireplace, so if we need heat, that's taken care of.  I told the kids that we will probably all be sleeping in the basement tomorrow night.  I don't like the trees out back, and I would rather not worry about Kaelyn, Rory, and Logan.  We toyed with the idea of getting a tent to set up in the basement "for fun," but my inner Dave Ramsey said no.  :(  It would've probably been the closest thing to me camping EVER.  

I don't know if we're going to have power to check back in, but if we do, I'll be here.  Wishing you all safe weather and lots of water, toilet paper, and bread.  I'll leave you with a picture as always.
