Freaking Out

I am seriously freaking out about Hurricane Ike.

Should we stay? Should we go? Where do we go? What do we take with us?

If it were just Ryan and I, we'd ride it out. But now we have three little human beings who depend on us for everything. Absolutely everything, safety included.

Sometimes I think I'm not grown up enough to be able to handle situations like this and I just want to run to my parents for help and advice. But I can't because they are on vacation in Alaska which is about as far away as is possible. Too bad we can't evacuate to Alaska, huh?

So say a prayer for us (and everyone else in the path of the storm), okay?

I think we're going to need all the prayers we can get.
