Hurricane Irene

I must admit it...I am a weather channel nerd.  I love watching the weather channel and when a storm is coming, I hvae it on non-stop.  I guess I get caught up in the excitement of it, I don't know.  So, I've decided we need to do a few things to get ready for this storm, as the path is a bit close for comfort to us in my opinion.  I'd rather be prepared and not need it, than to be unprepared.  When Hurricane Isabel hit here in "03, we were not prepared.  I remember my sister and I riding all over trying to fill gas containers and get food for the grill.  We all pooled our food and cooked at my grandma's on the grill which was fun, but I wish we had been more prepared.  So, for this storm I am going to get a few things at Walmart we will need, gas up the car, and get cash in case we need it.  That's it..that's all I'm doing.  I just want to be prepared with food for the kids to eat, stuff for Dustin to take with him to work, etc.  I guess I worry more too because if we have bad weather, Dustin has to work.  Which means I am responsible for the kids by myself, which is why you probably won't find me ever driving a vehicle without 4 wheel drive.  I don't like to be stuck anywhere, and if it snows I need to be able to get out of my driveway and be able to take the kids to the dr., etc. if they need to go.  Anyway, just something to think about in the coming days. 
For now, I'm off to get ready to go to a meeting.
