hurricane

well after a week of no power ,sweating and my mother-in-law, my husband's ex- wife and my step-son , i am glad to say that all the people are gone and my house is mine again. our neighborhood and baton rouge looks like a bomb went off, amazingly enough we only lost part of our fence and some limbs out of the tree. i dont know how. houses to the left and the right of us are really tore up and more then half the city is still out of power and will be out for another 7 to 21 days. steven's school is closed until the 15th and my mom is coming to get him tomorrow. i had to drive 20 miles outside of baton rouge to get groceries,thankfully where we work is letting us buy gas and pay for it later. we are still even as of sunday night under a curfew, it is crazy here and there are gi joes with m-16s at the stores that are open. cnn only really broadcasted from new orleans and when the leveies did not break they all left , while baton rouge got left behind. even watching it for ourselves i sat there wondering when they were going to show the rest of the world , oh well we survied now we are watching for ike. i am so tired.
