I am tired of hurricanes

What a week it was. Recovering from Ike hasn't been easy or fun. I am still exhausted from working and one day off didn't help me recover much. Yesterday I slept till noon. I know I should have been in Church but I just couldn't get out of bed. The only reason I got up was to feed my hungry kids. For us, our schedules are back to normal. School, after school practices and I am sure alot of homework started again today. Poor Lane, this is his first year of school and I am sure he is confussed about going 1 week and off for a hurricane. Beings we started school Aug. 25 and he has only been 11days. I pray this it is for us this hurricane season. We are so ready to be through this season. Texas has gotten 3 storms already this year. And my pocket book can't take another. They are so expensive to evacuate from and that is not including if you come home to a damaged home. Continue to pray for all that were harmed by Ike. I thank you so much for your prayers. And pray for me too, I am in sort of a down state of mind, Sort of overwhelmed. I can not get motivated to do anything and I am just slapped worn out.
I will leave you with a few photos of when we were evacuated to Mississippi.
