I think we are finally trying to get back to normal

Well it's been awhile and been an extremely stressful month so far. First Hurricane Gustav which luckily we avoided much damage, just damaged the budget from evacuating. Then comes Hurricane Ike and let me tell you THAT WAS DAMAGE to the budget! We spent a week and a half away because of damage and no power. The poor kids are so exhausted from traveling. Sometimes I wander what was I thinking moving down here before hurricane season was over. Then I remember "yes we will make more money apart" NOT! Seems since we have started making more money more things seem to occur. First Avery lost his wallet in the middle of these dange hurricances - so up went the stress level to cancel cards. Then of course back-to-back evacuations took a toll of the newly earned income. Then it wouldn't be complete without something else going wrong since things come in three....Avery's truck breaks down. Yep more money out of the pocket. So therefore, we have yet to enjoy moving down here so far. Hopefully October will be a brighter month for us all LOL.

On another note, Madison is so sad she hasn't returned to school yet, thankfully that changes on Monday when they open back up. Poor James is not used to the daycare anymore so he cries every morning that I drop him off there. As far as my job, sometimes it feels as if I never left there; it sure was nice to get my first paycheck finally though (even though it disappeared as quickly as I got it LOL).

Well just thought I'd update everyone on our not-so-wonderful month of September. Also hears some pictures from this month too.

My kids playing around and acting so sweet

One of the many hotel nights LOL

Back home but with no power yet so what else to do but go for his first 4-wheeler ride!

The worlds worst driver telling James how to drive LOL

Don't you just love the weather here in Texas - HOT & STICKY

Chillin out in Paw Paw's chair with nothing better to do

Back in the Gulf for sure

Well we are really back home...it's already that time when we have to evacuate from the hurricanes. We watched this one very close and since it kept moving it's path we decided it would be best to evacuate. Well of course we do and it doesn't do anything to us so that was money down the drain. At least my dad brought his laptop for the kids and they played on Noggin.com quite a bit.

Well I had my first day back to work today. It was like I'd never let other than the few new faces everything is the same. I was pretty busy today so it made the day fly by so I was thankful for that. All day I kept thinking about how I miss my kids so much! James started daycare today and it's the first time he's ever been to one. When I dropped him off this morning there were only three kids there and he ran straight over to them. When I went to tell him I was leaving he ran over and kissed me and said "bye mom" and ran back off. He didn't even care that I was leaving. When I went to pick him up he told me bye again. I explained to him that we were going home and he could come back tomorrow. He had so much fun there today. He even went down for a nap without a problem for them. Hopefully tomorrow goes just as smooth!

Well until anything new happens love ya'll!
