hurricane?

So, we buckled down for the hurricane last night and it was somewhat anti-climactic. It was noisy and rainy for aabout an hour then the eye passed through. the enws kept saying the second half was gonna be the worst. In our area, however, it didn't seem to be much of anything. it never got back to being really noisy as it had earlier. then this morning i was driving through aventura with Brad and the power was out everywhere (not at our house) and there were huge trees down all over and debris everywhere. i even saw a corrugated tin roof splayed across a parking lot instead of over a playground. but here, as i said, it was relatively uneventful.
Brad has a young woman flying in from New York tommorow night to spend sunday and monday with us. If he likes her then she will be the girls' new nanny. If that is the case then she will come back for good the following weekend. I will then overlap with her for a week and leave the following weekend from her arrival. so, if all goes well, i might be leaving in two weeks. at the least, she will be a helping hand for me on sunday and monday which will be nice.
We'll see how it goes....

    Silly Laura.
    Hurricanes don't hit high income homes, they hit trailers parks.

    That's why they tend to be named after women. They take your car, your home and even dog! I've heard numerous residents from southern trailer parks cry "Bitch took everything!" after Hurricanes and Divorces.

    I hope all goes well with the New Yorker and in roughly two weeks you'll be on to greener pastures. With a short stopover in the frozen north. For a coffee, ya?
