What are the odds?

So...

This week we were supposed to go to St. George Island with E's family. His mom and stepdad had graciously rented a house and invited us to go. We were really looking forward to the one last big hurrah before school starts and before we get back into the swing of life for this fall.

Friday night we get a call from his parents. A WATERSPOUT had come onshore on the island and knocked out the power for the island and they werent likely to get power back until later in the week. So, my inlaws being perserverant found another house in a similar location and had put a hold on that when the reports of the incoming hurricane started hitting the news. Here's a hint...if a hurricane is coming, its not the time to be in a beachhouse on vacation. Not only will the weather be horrible, but there is always the chance of things going wrong (we did learn stuff from the three hurricanes of 2004)

So, no trip for us this week.

SIGH....what are the odds! Im actually chuckling a little bit because it IS sort of funny because its so ridiculous. Its actually okay with me because we all know how I feel about traveling and it is ALOT of work. E's family is coming here for a few days which will be fun for all...they are easy and it will be at least a chance to visit. Disappointing yes, but heck, no one is dying of cancer, my sister in law is still preggers, we are still getting a baby and in the big scheme of things...there is always next year!
