I am thankful we have the upstairs half of our house to live in. I have no clue when the downstairs half will be habitable again since it is 100% trashed and the water keeps coming in, but many in the state have it far worse tonight.

Thank you all for your support. I am beyond thankful for the two shoves towards 'sane' from [livejournal.com profile] spaceling (stuff schlepper, Home Depot shopper & navigator extraordinaire) & [livejournal.com profile] tim_wright (catsitter for a severely traumatized Tori & provider of tasty cookies), and several connections with a sump pump and wetvac although it's a pointless battle now. A river runs through it all in addition to the ocean in our backyard.

My advisor is now taking care of everything related to Texas for me. She refuses to allow me to discuss incompletes; she will talk with everyone on my behalf, see grades posted, and I can make up the work later. I then began to cry and she told me she loves me.

I have entered a time and space where I set out from one room with a mission then forget what it is I'm doing within 2 seconds. I cannot stop shaking.

Kieran did remarkably well considering we turned his home life upside down today. He insisted on doing his homework and only got whiny toward the end when he was clearly tired, then fell asleep promptly with my laptop playing some Enya to drown out the ruckus from downstairs.

I should probably try to do the same.

Once again, Kieran is amazing.

Great big hugs. I would completely fall apart under the same circumstances, so you're doing really, really well.

Oh my gosh the timing on that couldn't be any worse :( I'm so sorry you guys are having so much stress and I hope that bad things are done with you all for a long time once the flood subsides :( *hugs*

Oh my goodness. You are an amazingly competent person (and clearly, an inspiration as a mom!). Hang in there, lady. It has to end eventually! *hugs*
