Still no school…the kids are out the rest of the week. We all need to return to a more normal routine soon!
I spoke with someone associated with a neighboring school district today. She said the superintendent had been driving around the county assessing the situation and saw many children sleeping in cars! He is trying to get school started as soon as possible, so the kids will at least have warmth and two meals during the day. It’s hard for many of us to even imagine how hard life can be for some.
I better understand the meaning of “the haves and the have nots”. Last week we were have nots! This week we have everything! I went to Wal-mart this afternoon. I was in a hurry and just needed a few groceries. I started getting frustrated with all the people who were just slowly moving about the store. Then, I realized how many of them don’t have power and probably feel quite bewildered!
We heard today that it could be another two weeks for power to be restored to our old neighborhood and a month or more in some areas. People are doing well with generators, but the death toll continues to rise from carbon monoxide poisoning.
I am so behind on everything! I keep realizing things that I could have worked on last week, even without power. It’s hard to think straight when you are just trying to stay warm and protect your family. I certainly hope this is just a once in a lifetime experience! Please continue to pray for those in need!
