Here we go again

When I went to sleep last night, my tummy was happily full (after fasting all day for Yom Kippur), my family was safe, and I was looking forward to a relaxing, rainy Sunday. This morning, that's all changed.

Hurricane Jeanne is now headed toward us in the Tampa Bay area and we're scrambling to secure stuff: paperwork for our new house, Colter's comforts (stuffed animals, Game Boy, Yu-gi-Oh cards), and mine (books, paper and pens, so I can read and write).

I'm trying to stay calm. I'm trying to remember that as quickly as things can change, some things are forever: God, my love for my family, their love for me.

What's constant in your life?

I hope Jeanne did not hit you too hard!

I hope you and your family stay safe during the latest hurricane!

I admire the strength of your family as it endures Mother Nature. Your constants are similar to mine with a few additions.

breastfeeding breaks. I am guarenteed 45 minutes every 3 hours of sitting down. Sometimes this is a good thing and others I really need to be doing something else.

Waking up at 5:30am. I'm not sure who set my internal clock, why they chose 5:30am or how to reset it myself but I can't seem to sleep past it, reguardless of the time I went to bed.

doing things the hard way. For some mysterious reason, I, or my family, can not do anything the easy way. It is always the hardest way but everything still manages to get done on time and near to perfect as humanly possible.
