On the last Saturday in October in 2011 we met our photographer in the park and spent the afternoon taking family pictures. The day was cool, and getting colder; but it was still October and the trees were covered in leaves. Snow was predicted for that evening; and because of that RR's Cub Scout camp-out had been called off. Little did we know it was really going to snow. A wet heavy snow that would snap trees, bring down power-lines and plug us into a world of cold darkness for a week.
Fast-forward to tonight; and here I sit and wonder about "Now Tropical Storm" Sandy.
Our family photos are thankfully done.
The baby's health is better now, than this time last year. Oh, yeah, did I mention that he came down with pneumonia while we were without power?
RR's camp-out is scheduled and planned, and from what I hear not getting called off.
Sandy is expected to start making life less than pleasant on Tuesday, October 30.
And I can't help but wonder - Will Halloween get cancelled again?
Whatever will the Halloween Fairy do?
The 8-year old is on pins and needles. The very mention of the weather puts him in a tizzy. He's been having headaches, stress induced about missing his favorite holiday I am sure.
Please Lord. Please. Let the lights stay on. Let my 8-year old have his Halloween. Let all of the kids in this area have what they didn't have last year. Give me strength to deal with the 8-year old and his mood swings as he anxiously awaits Halloween.
Ok, that's more than crossing my fingers. I do believe that is a prayer. And a request.
Friday, October 26
