Day Two - Sunday

Today is supposed to be HOT and we have still have no electricity. The kids were sweating up a storm. We've been letting them run around in only their underwear which is way outside of my character. Devin didn't really like the idea of being in his undies (he was alittle shy) but Garrett and Jacob had no problem taking it off.

Our company left early (very very early) this morning. Danny couldn't sleep because he was worried about his own house. We heard from him later in the morning and they had some damage. The entire fence was blown away and the chimney was knocked down. Of coarse, there were trees knocked down but nothing that had hit his house.

Eating from an ice chest is depressing. I'm running a fever. My body aches from head to toe. Sleep deprivation is setting in. And to top things off I'm throwing up everything I eat.

The radio mentioned that our HEB would be open and running today. We needed ice desperately so we decided to brave the crowd. Surprisingly, it was worse than expected! There was a line outside that wrapped around the entire building. The store was only letting in 10 people at a time. People who were carrying purses or bags were turned away because people had already started to steal. We left without ice.

We saw the electricity trucks out in our neighborhood today. It was the greatest sight I've seen! An hour passed by and they left without restoring the power. WTF?!? My fingers are crossed that we get power tomorrow.
