Go Away Irene!!!



Haven't you heard? If not, what rock are you under? lol!
Yes, Hurricane Irene is on her way to our area.
The track keeps changing so it's still unclear as to where it will be exactly.
Still, I'm scared.

I don't recall any major Hurricanes growing up. Nothing of this magnitude anyways. It's just not common for us to be a point of target. In any event, please pray that everyone remains safe!

Not sure many of you know, my full time job besides Mommy is Insurance. Yes. Insurance.
Can I just tell how NOT FUN it is to be in the Insurance Business right now? Not that it ever really is fun, but everything is magnified right now. People panic. They worry about their posessions. I understand, really I do. So, my job today is to comfort those that call & tell them 'good thing you paid that premium huh?' and try to hopefully get them to smile a little knowing they are covered. I'm also directing them to some company websites to help them prepare in the best way possible to try & prevent damage. All in all, most seem to take things well and by the end of our conversations, we are wishing each other safety.

If you are in the path of Irene.. I am saying a prayer for you! Stay safe.

Flood Waters

It has been crazy raining here. Almost every backroad, smalltown bridge is out because there is no where for the water to go. It took me longer to get to work this morning because everyone is scrambling to take this road or that road due to the overflowing water. I'm not even sure if the Lake near my house is going to make it.. I'm afraid that bridge will be gone by the time I leave because it's raining, AGAIN! It's nuts!

Here are some pictures from our local news station.
I didn't take these, but as you can see.. it's not good!






If you get a minute today, please say a little prayer for everyone in our area. There is so much damage and well, it's just plain scary! No one has been seriously injured that I have heard so that in itself is a small miracle we can be thankful for. Let's hope this rain stops soon.

On a lighter note... my giveaway from The Homemade Way is ending tonight.
