Hurricane Earl

There was supposed to be a hurricane coming through late last night, well it more towards the eastern shore but we were still on some kind of hurricane watch. Apparently I don't watch the news enough because I didnt even know about this until my husband asked me about it a couple days ago. Well all of this was a bit to much for me because ive never experienced a hurricane and to be honest I was a bit freaked out. Everyone was talking about having to evacuating and my husband was telling me that we would have to take two cars and the dogs and the baby would drive with me. I couldnt take it all in, I was scared. I went to the commissary on Wednesday which was a bad idea because it seemed like everyone was there. Maybe trying to stock up on some water and food to get ready or maybe just getting ready for Labor day weekend barbeque's. I think both. I definitely was stocking up on some water and I think everyone was too because when I got there most of the jugs of water was gone and one of the workers was restocking the shelves with more. I grabbed what I thought was needed for us. By the time I was almost at the last isle I was pretty irritated. It was just so crowded and I couldnt get through as fast as I wanted because there would be someones cart in the way. I even walked off with someone elses cart. Good thing I noticed it before I walked to far. Im just glad the guy didnt notice!

The next day I was on the computer tracking the hurricane and trying to figure out when it was supposed to be coming through the shore. That night I really wasnt as worried as much because it seemed like everyone else wasn't so I kind of just brushed it aside. The worst that could happen to us would be rain and some wind. I woke up about 3 times early this morning and it seemed like everything was good. No rain no wind. Around 8 am I look out the window and its raining a bit and a little windy but nothing scary. So apparently the hurricane calmed down and went from a stage 4 to a 2. I feel bad for the areas that did get hit but im so happy that nothing bad happened to us. Like I said im not ready for all that. Now its just a gloomy raining day and sometimes I need a day like this. Its a good time to be lazy and have a cup of coffee.
