Metro New Orleans DISers - check in!!! - Part II

[TigerKat]

Thanks for posting the pics Lori. I agree with Tricia, the girls are becoming young ladies!

 

[FloraFauna]

Lori, your pictures are beautiful, especially the one of the girls sleeping after a day of Disney. I am glad you posted them.

Lori, We want more! Thanks for making us all feel better with a little Disney magic & your beautiful girls!

The one that really got to me, was the person who suggested that we should have condemned flood zones & not be allowed to rebuild, as was done in Indiana. Again do they think New Orleans is just the French Quarter? They always seem to forget that this city was the nation's leading Port for import & export of certain materials.

Lori - it looks like you had a great time. Glad your evacuation was at least fun!!

I know it's still a long way off but the new computer models are all pointing to Texas. God doesn't like UGLY!

Thanks ya'll!

They are getting so big!

We had fun and as it was spur of the moment thing to do-even though we thought about the week before-we really just wanted to get home-but then on Tuesday, DH and I talked about what to do-and as I leave hurricane stuff up to him (well, mostly), he said, "lets go to WDW for a few nights" and we all were elated!

The Mickey towel thing was on the bed when we FIRST walked in the room, so that was a nice extra for us.
MK was on Thursday and we only stayed till 5pm. BUT I must admit, for those of you who are early birds to the parks-THAT is a huge perk as we got more than half the park done by noon, but whew-we were EXHAUSTED by about 2pm and we stayed b/c we knew we had to leave about 4-5 pm anyway. I think, next time we go, we'll do the early thing then head out to rest up. Maybe we'll go back at closing. I guess we are used to going at times that the parks close earlier(10pm with EMH) so we sleep in and get there about 9-10am. Plus we are NOT morning people. We only got there that early b/c we KNEW we had limited time!

I , once again, am not looking at that thread-people can have thier opinions, even at others expense-whatever. But just wait till life or nature slaps them in the face and thier very real issues get dogged. Some people can't see the big picture. This is our home. Period. HOME. Even if we are removed from it, we love it, it has memories and people and places we love. I feel the same about when people say, "oh wasn't that a long itme ago" when it comes to Ashton having cancer. Heck yeah, and I am thankful it was-but time doesn't make it smaller, time just makes it more handle-able. It is STILL a big deal in our hearts and always will be. I just won't let it overtake me ever again. Like 9/11, like Katrina. I will still have pangs of literal pain and anxiety everytime she tells me her tummy hurts or she has fever without symptoms I can control. I still get weirdly anxious about hurricanes and I never had any damage, but I saw the worst of it in a good time and it was HORRIFYING. I still feel the disbelief that not 1, but 2 HUGE sturdy buildings came crashing to the ground. There are things I do not understand about all of this stuff, but that is where faith comes in and it does give me some peace.
The hell with people who CHOOSE not to 'get it'!!

That darn thing is out over water already though. I have 3 different storm monitoring pages open & I'm feeling nauseous.

Okay we have reservations in CONWAY, AR if we need to evacuate...let's keep our fingers and toes crossed that we won't have to.

At least they are prepared.
