Sorry you all are getting last weeks post and this weeks post at the same time … my grandma passed on Thursday last and I was/am having a hard time. I needed to be/feel in control of things so we now have two gallon size bags of burritos and pancakes in the freezer as well as a baked ham which will be made into Stromboli’s and breakfast burritos. I love my husband for putting up with me and helping me when I decide this all needed to be done NOW. It turned out to be a good day to cook the ham though because we were predicted to have tropical storm Karen hit us and the weather was somewhat overcast and moderate that day. I digress…

We are improving! We are slowly getting back to our normal attitudes with less meltdowns, tempers and better reasoning and I may get up the gumption to wander out of the house this week!!! 😮

Some things we are getting used too…

1. Grocery shopping – selection is limited, if you see it get it because it may not be there tomorrow
2. Driving – wrong side of the road, narrow, horns honk, directions are odd with no street signs (I am the green house)
3. Weather – always 80’s but with humidity can feel like 100’s… cannot wait to see the AC bill 😉
4. Rolling power outages – since we are not living in campus housing we aren’t aware of when we are having a morning, afternoon or day without power

Overall it hasn’t been as tough as I thought adjusting. I enjoy being home with the kids and we’ve been doing a lot of baking together.
