Last night, my brother, who is in New Orleans working on helping the cops with looters, didn’t report back to the command center. He was reported missing. Early this morning he was found. He and some others were dropped off by helicopter and the helicopter never returned. The command center didn’t remember where they were. It was very scary. This morning he left with a SWAT team to go back into New Orleans. I am so worried and will not feel better until he returns home tomorrow afternoon.

Gas is getting so expensive. I’m worried that I won’t be able to afford to drive to work anymore.

Melissa
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.
