I to have been watching a lot of the weather channel , as we have a daughter and her family in MS in the direct path and although I have spoken with her several times today I still worry. We too will be effected by the storm, but I have a basement to seek refuge. I spent the day making sure all the cretes are cleaned up and everyone is going to have to sleep in one tonight

in case we have to make a quick escape from the weather. I have to know where everyone is (I have 7 yorkies) so I can grab and run if I have too !!!! The rest of the day was spent washing clothes and just preparing for the storm. But I usually find the best way to relieve stress or the blues I just get on the floor with all my little prizes and it doesn't take me long before they have picked me up, or have me laughing. or just plain wet from all the kisses....lol
