Well, we made it with very minimal damage in my area. A few trees in houses, but overall, it was much better than predicted. At around 2 pm on Saturday, the main storm came through and there were really heavy winds, lots of power outages and rain, rain, and more rain. Our power went out at around 6:30 am on Saturday morning due to a tree falling on the line. So, we went to Wal-Mart and stocked up on supplies and then we went and stayed at Hooker’s house. Aunt Loo was without power, so we had to cancel our plans to stay there.
In other happenings this weekend, a classmate of Hooker’s was killed in an accident early Saturday morning. So, the mood around her place was pretty doomy and gloomy.
Sunday would have been my uncle David’s 49th birthday, so the weekend was already pretty much spoiled since Hooker’s mom was dwelling on that and then the accident happened and shot the rest of it to hell.
But, due to the funeral, I had no babysitter yesterday, so, I got to work at home with the LittleMan. It was a blast! It’s funny how he realized that I wasn’t supposed to be there. He kept coming by the couch (where I was working) and smiling and patting my arm. He’s such a sweetie!
Anyway, not much to report. Pretty much a boring depressing weekend. I hope the rest of you had a much better weekend than myself.

Melissa-Mom to LittleMan (4/04); wife to LuckyHusband; full-time toxicologist; full-time housekeeper; full-time domestic laundromat manager (washes all the clothes); full-time domestic finance manager (pays all the bills and yells at husband for spending too much money on fishing stuff); and Keeper of the Cheerios. Lives in a tiny town; spends tons of time with family; reads; enjoys crafts. Can change a diaper, fill a sippy cup, and put on a toddler's shoes in 15.4 seconds flat, all while calculating the impact of petroleum hydrocarbons to a nearby surface water body (watch for me in the Toddler Olympics on CBS this fall). Addicted to Dr. Pepper; Kit Kats; and pasta. To spot me in a crowd: I'm the one with frizzy messed-up hair, smeared graham crackers on my shirt; huge purse with a diaper peeking out, toddler on her hip, and camera in hand at all times.
