A New Beginning

Don't have a clue what I'm doing but will try this out and see how it goes.

I've never blogged before but thought this might be a creative way to track my crazy life and all of its drama.

This past week:

• Been home from work with pinkeye (of all things). I'm 55, as of yesterday, and I have pinkeye!!! Shish, you'd think I was 5.
• Big R had a whirlwind trip to the gulf to help with Hurricane Gustav and had to rush back here because we had about 10,000 people out of electricity (me included), roads flooded, and trees down everywhere.
  
• Father-in-law fell and broke his hip and had to have surgery. Me (and my pinkeye) had to help get him and my mother-in-law get situated in the hospital. People look at you really funny when you tell them "Don't touch me". They back away real quick, too, when you explain why they shouldn't touch you.
  
• Now we're under a boil order and waiting on Hurricane Ike to hit. Fun times!
  

I'm just glad I have electricity again. It's amazing how important all the little things like lights, microwave, tv, and computer have become.
