What the Hey!?!

So, it's been an interesting week. We had an earthquake and a hurricane within 6 days. I can honestly say that's never happened before. The earthquake was super weird and freaked me out seeing our shed moving and everything rattling and falling off walls. And has anyone ever seen windows get all wavy?? weird. The hurricane wasn't as bad as we were expecting but it did take down a lot of trees and we are without power. We gave in and bought a generator which I didn't want to spend the money on but have grown to have a little crush on even though it is loud. At least we will not lose money on tons of food in our fridge and big freezer, plus with the money we save from not paying for electricity for who knows how long we may recoup the money. Gas is hard to find but luckily everyone in my family and their homes came through it OK. It is weird to be raking leaves up in your yard and have them be green instead of orange and yellow.
In other news...if all the schools in the county get electricity back, school will be starting for Jake next week. He will be in second grade. He's super excited. Tommy is less enthusiastic to be going back to school but I told him it's only three days a week and he'll be fine. I think deep down he may be a little excited...then again...Ava is going to be 18 months old on Saturday. My little baby will start nursery next week, just in time for her to get comfortable in there before the new baby gets here. Whoohoo!!! Ben just started the semester and wants to quit his job so bad so he can focus on school. I agree that it would be good but we have to wait a little while. As for moi, I am 30 weeks pregnant and feeling every week of it. But, the end is in sight and I'm looking forward to it but terrified at the same time. Anyway, that's all for now, the boys just got home from visiting their Papa so I gotta run.
