Tinfoiled, and ready to go.

These have been our temps as of late, those are what the days to come look like. Also those are just the air temps, and do not include the fact that the humidity makes those temps feel at least 3-5 degrees hotter. Like I have said before, it's not like we never see those kinds of temps here, but usually not until the end of July/beginning of August. We get to have somewhat normal summer temps in June through July, but not so much this year, in fact nearly every day this week has been a record breaking day temp wise for this time of the month. It really sucked on Monday because the A/C stopped working, which admittedly it was cooler, but it still got hot in the house, sleeping that night though was hot and miserable, luckily they were able to come out and fix it first thing Tuesday morning. Yay!! Hopefully it cools off soon so we can spend a bit more time outdoors without risking heat stroke.

I should have said I would kick him in the raptor balls...that might have given me a few more seconds.

So Ike is headed this way, with landfall happening early Saturday morning. We are pretty far inland, but it's still going to hit us, obviously not as hard as the coast, but it's predicted to still be a category one by the time it reaches here. I am not too worried about flooding in our particular area, as we are a bit more elevated than other areas. I worry about my in laws though. They are in San Antonio, so they are going to get more rain, and the area they live in gets flooded quickly..not their home exactly, or even their neighborhood, but it gets close. I am hoping this is not the storm that brings flood waters to their door steps though.

We should be ok though, and hopefully James' boss will grow a brain and not let people work on Saturday when we are supposed to be getting the worst of it. So far though it's not looking that way, and the stupidest part is, is that James and the other guys can't really do their job well in the rain anyway so they might as well call them in as it is. Also people here drive stupid when it rains, so it worries me for him to be out on the road during this, but what can I do right? I don't think me calling and excusing my husband from work would go over well, lol.

Anyway, thats the low down on whats going on here, it's going to be interesting, I've been in a couple of hurricanes so I kind of know what to expect, and hopefully we won't get any tornados sprouting off of it. Better get to the store and get batteries, candles, water, and stuff to eat that doesn't need to be cooked..also dig out the cooler and have some ice at the ready in case we lose power. So toodles and stuff, and if you see me flying by your house wave hi!

Everybody here has been sick for the past week, first the kids, then James, and somewhere inbetween I got it too, but since I have had to take care of everyone else, I haven't noticed it...ooorrrr it could be all the cold meds I had been stuffing in my pie hole, either way I am feeling it now. I want to go outside, but I can barely walk to the bedroom without breaking into a cold sweat, so I just try to be as lumpish as possible, but it's boooooorrrrring. D: My birthday is coming up soon, I'll be 31 somehow it's not as exciting as turning 30 was, I think I'll just skip the rest of the birthdays till I turn 35, 35 sounds like an exciting age, maybe it's because ends in a 5, who knows.

Nyquil, and Tyenol severe cold medcines mixed makes for interesting sleep, I dug tunnels with singing sheep, who only knew the chorus of Come On Eileen..all. night. long. I woke up with a massive headache, that song running through my head, and a craving for lambchops.
Uhhhh..I think that's it, I am all hopped up on Dayquil right now so I keep losing my train of thought, so yeah, that's it for now.

In short, this means hell has frozen over...it's about damn time, is all I can say. We are finally getting some winter type weather down here in hel...errr, I mean South Texas, and rumor has it that it may snow...here...where I live, and I couldn't be more excited, I miss snow.

I had a good long hot shower, went to bed early last night, and got some good sleep. This morning, I downed a bunch of water, and them we took my son to the bus stop, after the bus came, my daughter, and I took a nice long walk. I feel refreshed, and in a much better frame of mind than I was yesterday. Thank God!

Of no smoking, but it might as well be day 1. Things were starting to even out a little bit, but today...ugh, today was just not my day. I know stress is my trigger to smoke, it's always been what has thwarted my attempts in the past. I came across a stressful situation today, and bam the urge was there as strong, and irritating as ever. I fought with everything in my being not to go buy a pack of cigarettes, so far I am winning, the stressor has been taken care of, and a talk with some very dear friends pulled me through, but I am still on edge. The thing is like I told some of my friends, I feel kid of stupid letting a little cigarette have so much control over me, my life, and my emotions, I feel like an idiot for not listening to the people that warned me not to start. I have quit in the past, twice for a long periods of time when I was pregnant, and it was easy (ell easier) to quit for the sake of my unborn children, so why is it so hard to show that kind of concern for myself, and why was I so foolish to let it go on this long.

It just does. Yes it's time that I quit, yes it's better for my health, and betters my chances of living to be an old and cantankerous fogey, who wears outlandish hats, and knits family members toaster covers. However it's a pain in the ass, I hate the stupid lozenges, I hate the withdrawals, I hate not knowing what to do with my hands, I hate the effect it's having on my emotions as my body detoxes. I just wish I could sleep till the worst is over, but kids need to be fed, a house needs to be cleaned, and I need to keep my computer company. So I shall press on, maybe I'll invest in a punching bag so that I'll have something to do instead of smoke...dammit, dammit, dammit! I want a cigarette!
