Just got a phone call and we’ll be off for two more days. Apparently we still have water issues and they are predicting that it will take the weekend to clear up the water so they went ahead and made the call that we won’t have school until Monday. We got off last Friday and the entire week this week. I would never wish for the destruction that Ike caused – not even on my worst enemy, but I am happy to be enjoying this week off. I’ve gotten so much work done around the house this week and done some research for this blog. It’s been nice. I could stand going three weeks and getting a week off. I think we ought to just convert to this schedule. :)

Almost Wordless Wednesday – Our Ike Story
Joining the Wordless Wednesday MeMe (but cheating a little) to tell our story of Ike.
My Daughter’s Most Prized Possessions She Brought to Nana & Papaws:
The Yard During the Storm:
The Little Boy Walking BY HIMSELF IN THE STORM (you know, when the police are asking you not to DRIVE because limbs are falling on cars and causing them to be trapped….so let’s let our little one walk around with no cover!!!!! yes, I know…this broke the wordless rule….but this one just blew my mind!)
The Mom Coming Out MUCH LATER with the BABY:
ELECTRICITY IS BACK!!! See what everyone went for:
One of the Limbs That Caused My Problem:
My Problem:
Another Day, Another Day Off
Got a call a couple hours ago. Apparently we now have electricity at the school and should be going back tomorrow right? But nope…Now we are having some kind of water problems so we’ll have no school tomorrow either. One more day of laziness. I’m lovin it. I could so get used to this. Since I worked so hard to catch up the other day and it’s only the two of us laying around, we’re not making messes. All I’ve had to do is a load of laundry and sink of dishes today. Yep…I need to win the lottery and be a stay at home mom.
Another Day Off
Wow!! It’s almost like a summer break again. We are off school again today today. Things are not so bad, but apparently at crunch time yesterday (the time when the superintendent needed to make a decision), there was still no electricity at the school so we were cancelled for today too. I have to admit to enjoying it though I’ll be frustrated at how far off my lessons are when we do go back as I already had 6 weeks worth of lesson plans done. *sigh* It’s been nice though. We had Friday off (and the of course Saturday and Sunday) and then Monday and today, Tuesday. That’s 5 days. :) And now we’ll only go three days and be off two more. :) I could get used to this. LOL I haven’t gotten any notice one way or the other, but surely they will get our lights back on today and we’ll go back tomorrow.
Hunkering May Be Over
I’m almost afraid to say this. I don’t want to tempt fate, but I think our “hunkering down” is over. Lights are still dimming here and there, but they’ve now been on for about 5 hours. Life is great. I’ve caught up on several things. We ran the dishwasher and a load of clothes through the wash, just in case. Wind seems to have died down. I really think we are going to be in cleanup mode soon. I plan to get up in the morning and see about moving around town a little (if it looks safe). I also want to head to my house so I can see how things are there. Called and everything looks fine from the outside is the report of my grandmother, but I’m anxious to see it myself upclose. During Rita everything looked fine from the outside, but when I went in, I had a huge lake in the living room where the roof had leaked. 
Still watching other Texas bloggers sites carefully for updates from them…check in everyone and let us know how things are going.
