IRENE IS COMING!

Irene-the Hurricane of 2011 that's pending. I've never been through one. No that's not completely true. I was here for a tiny one that didn't even touch down several years ago. I slept through it. Literally. So did my son(Brian). I was a little scared due to all of the hype from the media-that and I didn't know Pernell (husband) then. He has weather related connections through work...... So in short- if we're going down-I don't wanna know what hit's us. I just want it to be quick and as peaceful as possible. If a natural disaster is going to take mine or my family's life/lives-I'd like to think as little emotional stress and physical pain was inflicted as possible. Cause when God decided to take us-He decides-not us.

I still feel like sleeping through it this time. But I know that will not be an option. With seven (yep count em-7) dogs, and Eleven year old, four adults full time in my home, not to mention any other family that comes to our home for refuge- sleeping through it will not be an option this year. In the years to come, it will not be an option either. SO-my resolve:

I will cook for my family through this. I will do unwanted hateful chores of cleaning. I will plan games. I will DO MY NAILS-and take pictures to show you :-)
