what a mess!

Wow, this ice storm has really wreaked some havoc on the Upstate. Soooo many people still don't have power. My parents, my inlaws, my brother, and hardly anyone I work with has power. I feel kinda guilty. The kids are driving me crazy and we HAVE power. I can't imagine no power, no TV, no cooking....yikes! My parents and my inlaws both have gas logs and cook with gas so they are doing okay. My mom has been unloading her freezer...giving stuff to us and having us store stuff. We are so fortunate! Power went out on Thursday and it may be Tuesday before they get it back. I went to work for about 3 hours on Friday. Our office didnt have power but our sattelite office did....but they didn't have computers because the computer servers are at the main office. So they moved them to the satellite office so we could see some patients. I think the power is back on at our office now. The phones don't work when the power is out and I am able to get through on the phone now so hopefully back to work on Monday. Erin missed her last exam...she will take it after the Christmas holidays. Claire and her classmates worked so hard on a Christmas program that we didn't even get to see because of the weather. :( Now Claire has pink eye so she may not get to participate in the church Christmas play tomorrow night. We will at least go watch it. (and since so many places are without power, the doctor just called in a prescription for eyedrops instead of making us come in.) I can't believe it is almost Christmas. I have soooo much shopping to do. Bobby gets paid Weds and I get paid Thurs so I plan on doing some night time shopping (hopefully miss some crowds). I pretty much know everything I need to get so I can have a game plan. For Bobbys brother, we went and had a family portrait made. They have everyting in the world so Bobby wanted to get that for them and put it in a nice frame. He didn't want to give any to the rest of the family but you know how well that would go over! We will give them to them after Christmas. I let Bobby pick the pose we used. I liked some of the others better but since it was for his brother..... And we get some Christmas cards with them....but they won't be ready until December 23! LOL So......you'll be getting them a little late! Sorry! Okay....off to try some more cleaning!
