Initial reports say that the Momma Pug North American Headquarters has survived Hurricane Ike! (Thanks Tree and P.Daddy for driving down and checking it out for us. You guys are so good to us!) We can't express the level of relief it is to know you’re your home is okay and the things have worked hard for and love are still there. The husband and I did pretty well this time around. We didn't panic, but we did leave – and within plenty of time to get out while avoiding horrific traffic jams.
Overall, our boys have behaved brilliantly. No one is more shocked at this than the Aggie and I. Moving our family really is a lot like packing up a circus train and hopping towns in the middle of night. And let me tell you, I couldn't be prouder of our little clowns and elephants. They haven't ripped up flooring (Deuce, Christmas '07), nor have they attacked the host's dog over cheese dip (Sonny the Pug, spring break '06.) It's been almost as if they called a meeting and were all like: OKAY, MOMMA AND DADDY ARE HOLDING THEIR SHIT TOGETHER BY A THREAD. ALL FOR WRANGLING OUR CRAZY IN SAY 'EYE'. OPPOSED LIKE SIGN. Then a show of hands was taken and it was passed it 3-to-4. (Deuce was the lone 'nay'.)
We're not sure how much longer we will stay in Round Rock. We need to get back and clean out all the food in the fridge. The possibility of going without electricity and water is just too much for me and the pug to take. If we go back any time soon, we might be buying a generator, window unit and an assload of gas. Since the city is reporting we have water, we'll open up the Momma Pug North American Headquarters as a shelter to our friends and family.
Its going to be like summer camp only we're too old to sleep on the floor with sleeping bag so we'll have to pull the mattresses into one room. And instead of telling ghost stories we'll share tales of our mortgages, which I think we all can agree is much more frightening stuff.
