Oh the joys of living in Lousiana!!

Well it's official, I am a coon ass!! I am living in a state that gets overrun by hurricanes. I knew whenever my husband and I decided it would be easier if I moved here with him that this would be an issue. So I had to go and fill up my car with gas today, and was probably one of the last people in our lil city to get regular gas! I am about to go to the grocery store to buy water and batteries, all of that stuff. I'm a little hesistant because I think it might be a waste of my time though.

I think back to living in Houston and everyone in an ABSOLUTE PANIC in Houston over Rita, and it turned out to be nothing. The only problem with that was that it wasn't nothing for people who lived here in Lake Charles. So now I am planning an evacuation for the first time that I have ever really been concerned with this type of thing. The first day my husband saw the news about Gustov he said to me, "Oh baby we might get our first evacuation together!" I just thought to myself, one could only hope!! So here I am planning out where to go, and making sure we go early enough to beat the evacuation traffic. I keep thinking to myself, "What things do I bring with me?" Since we did just get married, and we got some really terrific gifts I don't want to leave anything behind. I know it's just stuff, but it's stuff I will look back on later in life and remember that we got it at our wedding. So here I am rambling on and on, but I'm really getting anxious and feeling quite apprehensive. Prayers for us here, and anyone who might be affected in this!!!

Stay safe everyone!!

Learning to adjust

Well I have decided now to take this blogging thing a little more seriously. Being a housewife at the moment I really get bored! I'm learning to adjust to the changes in my life that have taken place. I'll recap what has gone on recently. I have moved to Louisiana, become a wife, become a stepmom, become a housewife, and become a therapist to my parents. Whew!! I love my new life, and I wouldn't have it any other way!

My poor husband doesn't understand that sometimes I get a little down. This morning I woke up and felt a little sad. I think it's all me adjusting to everything. I took a shower and just started crying, and NO I'm not pregnant!! My hubby heard me and came into the bathroom with a really worried look on his face. He started asking me if I am unhappy with my new life because he didn't see any reason why I could be crying. I tried to explain to him that NO I love my new life, just while I'm adjusting to all of the changes I might have a breakdown or two. It was really sweet that he was so concerned, but he just doesn't understand that I am a woman therefore I am a little more emotional than he is. The hardest adjustment for me has been becoming a stepmom. I absolutely love my stepdaughter, but I never had a stepparent so this whole relationship is new to me. Where are my boundaries? What can I say, and what things can I correct? How do I make sure not to become and EVIL STEPMOTHER, but make sure she understands that she has to respect me? It's really tough at times because she is getting close to being a teenager so she does have her little teenager attitudes at times. There are things that she does that my children will never do, and it gets quite frustrating. I'm learning though!! Anyone have some good advice on how to handle all of these changes?? If you do I'm all ears!

I will start posting more frequently now, thanks to Jenny!
