We're not in Kansas anymore...

Thursday, April 7th.  My mom's 56th Bday.  Happy Bday, Mom!  I was going to go pick her up and go eat at the hotel for dinner...good thing I got delayed.  A tornado hit the hotel Thursday afternoon.  I was on the phone with Alex, he says, "Oh shit!" and hangs up.  I'm like uh, ok.  He calls back 15 minutes later to tell me a 'big wind' just came thru and knocked the power out and took some of the roof off. In all, it wrecked a majority of the hotel, the irongate around the pool, and turned a SEMI over on its side!!!  Thank GOD, no one was hurt!  He's out of work now, tho (hopefully just for a week-we'll find out tomorrow from his dad).  I've got pics in my profile if anyone is caring to see.

*Smokey is not back.  I've put an ad online, called the shelters, everything I can think of (I didn't put fliers up because I don't have my printer working...I did ask all the neighbors tho, no one's seen him).*

We stayed home all day Sunday, just lounging.  Alex got up to take Kait to school this morning, came back 2 minutes after leaving to tell me we had 2 flat tires.  Yes, TWO flat tires.  Scott and Petey came over and aired them up, went to Walmart and got them patched.  Had a roofing nail in one (from the hotel's debris), and the patch that had been put in the other awhile back had leaked.

Anyone keeping up w/ our baby-makin *grin*, here's the update:  AF is gone (thank God), we started BD'ing on the 9th, O'ing on the 14th (hopefully).  Y'all cross your fingers, I need a baby in the nursery =(

That's good for now.  Night.
