Well, we made it thru Frances!!

I made it thru with no damage to my house. Lots of trees fell down and my bushes out front are quite leafless but otherwise we made it thru.

I know there are others that are not so lucky however. I remember living thru Andrew. I felt the exact same way. A cross between shell shocked and greatful. Shell shocked because the stress of waiting for it to be over. Greatful because so many others have lost everything. So many times I think how lucky I am that I live in Florida. Lots of sun and close to the parks. Then there are the times that this happens. I guess we take the good with the bad. I have power and phone. However, my DSL line is still on the fritz. I am at my in-laws house now.

I will continue to pray for those that are going thru this. I live about 60 miles south of where the eye went on shore. I have lived in Florida all my life. I don't think I will ever get used to hurricane season.

I have a trip planned to the Orlando area later this month. Call me crazy but I am kind of feeling guilty about going. So many others have a lot of awful things to go thru. Not sure if I am making myself clear or not. Just needed a place to let it out. DH doesn't really understand. He thinks I am being silly. I know that you guys here understand.

Thanks for letting me get it out!!

I'm glad you're safe Michelle. Don't feel guilty about going on vacation. You probably need a good break from the stress and you will be providing work for the Orlando folks. The last thing they need is no money coming in.

Don't feel guilty,After ythe flood of 94 we lost our house and everything else,we rented a car and where did we go?? Walt Disney World....It may not have been the smartest thing i did but it was a great stress releaver!!!!!!And it helped us recharge our batterys so we could start rebuilding our house and lives.
