HOT! JUNE 1st and Record Breaking Heat!

I was shocked when I read the weatherbug on my laptop! I had NO idea it was that high of a temperature! We've been bouncing between 89 and 92 degrees all May and all of a sudden record breaking temperatures on June 1st! lol

My husband came home from work for lunch and was hungry, but wanted cool air and water more than food! After work, he came home, relaxed a bit then took a cool shower. He just finished eating and is hopefully feeling a lot better than he was. Every year I worry about heat exhaustion with him. He's already had it 2 yrs ago, and now I keep Gatorade and Powerade on hand because he needs it and water.

What do you do for the heat?

Man Is It Storming Today!

I'm trying my best to keep my mind occupied and the weather just isn't helping!

Duke and I had a special bond yes, I can blame it on weather! lol Duke hated thunder and lightening and I do too. The last storm we were in, Duke was right by me, not moving and shaking. I on the other hand was screaming at the thunder and got so scared of the lightening, I jumped over him and was ducking!

See that storm hit real close to my home! I heard the thunder hit something and I saw the reflection of the lightening on my keyboard. Duke was there for me even though he was just as scared.

Now for the passed 2 days it's been thundering and lightening and I just try to ignore it (I know that isn't good). He isn't here for me to hug and pet and talk to.

Just feeling the depression I guess. I'm doing better than I was last week (Thursday), but I still miss him, still cry for him, still hurt. We got a sympathy card from the vet staff and I couldn't read it. Brian had to remove it from my hands, as I was crying as I was trying to read it. The wound is still too fresh in my mind. I'm trying to work on the collage I want to make, but I don't think I can do it right now, for the reason of I cry. Maybe, hopefully next month I'll be ok enough to do what I want and not cry or feel miserable.

I wish the storm would end. My washer and dryer are on and I'm on the computer. I don't want either to break because of a storm.

Well, I guess I just needed to vent a little!

Thanks for visiting my blog,

Coldest Air Since December 2006!

Ok I just heard the weather man say that we are expecting some of the coldest air since December 2006! I live in South Louisiana and we don't get that cold here. I mean 40 degrees is cold here. lol

We are usually in the 90's or higher and muggy during the summer.

Our high for today(Monday) was 57! Last week we were in the 80's!

We will be having Frost in the mornings! My tree has fully bloomed it's flowers!


I sure hope this change in weather doesn't do anything to the tree.

Evacuating for Hurricane Gustav

Wouldn't you know we would have the worse luck!

We had a huge electric bill to pay ($345) and if we didn't pay it, we'd be cut off on Thursday (we had an extension til 8/27). Now I find out that this hurricane is aiming directly at us! All the computer modules are aiming at us!

At last check 10 am and Noon news has it coming directly for South East Louisiana, that's us. Everyone will be under a mandatory evacuation as of Sunday unless something changes.

We are leaving with my sister Sunday morning if we need to. We are headed to Texas. My daughter is headed to Mississippi and I don't like it, but pray she'll be ok.

I have set up a donation button above in case anyone would like to donate funds to us. We only have $120 left out of hubby's check and well, we have to help with gas and $120 isn't going to go far unfortunately with the price of gas.

Red Cross isn't going to help with money unless this is a long drawn out thing like it was for Katrina and there are no places here that will give money.

We are in a voluntary evacuation right now, by Sunday it will be mandatory.

Pray for us and our city/town/state. Katrina broke our levees, but she wasn't a direct hit on us, this may be the one to destroy us who knows.

I'll post when we get to Texas or if we are staying so everyone knows what is going on.

Our dog woke us at 4:30 am!

This morning at 4:30 am it was storming again! I mean lots of loud thunder and lightening. Our dog hates storms and was trying his best to hide. lol He was so cute. He woke us because he was kind of loud about it. He eventually went to sleep by his daddy. :)

Hubby:
Hubby was rushing to go to work this morning as he wanted to leave while there was a slack in storms. He told me his chest was hurting again. Now when he got to work he told his boss he had a doctor appt for Monday and his boss looked at him and told him you aren't feeling good now are you and hubby said no. His boss said go home and don't come back until you see the doctor. His boss has been trying to get him to go to the ER, and no luck that way either. lol So that's 2 days off of next weeks check! I can't complain though, it is his health and if he ended up in the hospital it would be even more days then.

This was a real crappy day. lol I feel like I never went to sleep last night. Our dog, is sleeping and has been doing that most of the day! I had to drink 2 cups of coffee this morning to wake up. I'd love some more, but I don't drink more than 2 cups on any day.
