Hurricane Hangover

Now that all the storms have passed - I feel a little like I do after the holidays pass. I think I will name it hurricane hangover.

I don't think it has anything to do with the drinking that occurs when your sitting around the house, with no where to go. I don't think it has to do with the sugar rush you may be coming off of since the only handy dandy foods you have are junk. I don't think it has to do with the lack of sleep either. I remember taking a nap or two while it rained outside.

I think it may have to do with stress. I think I am coming off the stress.

HB is a freak when it comes to the storms. I spend most of my time following him around making sure he doesnt bleed from the ears too much. (I told him to put up a board or two if it made him feel better - he did, it didnt)

I am constantly doing dishes and laundry while awaiting the storm. Cooking hot meals three times a day. Hoping that I will be able to take a hot shower before the electric goes out or before I run out of food. (It never does).

I also am fighting a battle with a teen who doesnt understand why nothing is open and she is bored and wants to be entertained....now!

So after constant weeks of this waiting. Anticipating. It's over. (For now)

I am tired and cranky. I feel on the verge of tears.

Is that all there is?

So like the holidays. We wait, we plan, we do. But when its all over with - I think a vacation is in order.

Never mind - I heard those stress people out too!
