Homeless

Sub was kind enough to take us in. He has power and we were able to finally do our laundry last night... SCORE!! We are extremely grateful to have such kind friends and family to help us out during our homeless stint.

Little A was crying last night that she wanted to go home, all I could do was hold her.

5 days of work left, yes even in the midst of Ike induced fatigue I am still counting down.

Stay safe, Stay dry, and for those without power I hope it comes on soon!

edit....... alright, f-it it's my blog and I am tired of being nice, the ungrateful b**** emerges eventually. Nice is running rampant in Houston and I think it has made me edgy. 2-3 other people in my office, besides myself, also have been unable to return home due to house damage. We are having to sit here and hear stories about food grilling block parties, neighborhood get-togethers etc.

People are whining and complaining about not having electricity, not being able to do this do that blah blah blah. Personally I really wish that no electricity was my biggest issue right now. I would happily trade with someone. No, we did not get hurt, yes I am grateful for that... but I am still pissed about not being able to go home. Annoyed that I have lost my VERY comfortable bed and have been put at the mercy of hotels and friends for a place to sleep, shower, and try to maintain a normal routine for my child.

Awe, the kids are driving you crazy b/c your babysitter (the tv) doesn't work right now?? Mine is crying in my arms that she wants to go home and I am tryin to muster a sympathetic face for the poor power outters. GO READ A BOOK.

OK, rant over, smile back.

Scratch that, rant on. I logged into FEMA's website to check the status of our claim that I made to try and get some assistance for our current homeless state... now keep in mind that I spoke with the insurance company (renters insurance) and they are not going to be out to assess the damage until next week.

Denied-FEMA has determined that you have insurance on your home and FEMA cannot provide assistance where there is adequate insurance coverage. Please provide a copy of your insurance settlement or denial letter in order to be considered for further assistance.
