It’s been a few days since I’ve posted. Not to much to report. I slept and slept and slept and slept on Monday. Chris was home, and I was just so tired. On Tuesday, I cleaned a little, and then the kids messed it up again. Now, I need to clean again. On Wednesday, I took the kids to the park for a while, then we went by their great-grandmother’s house for a visit, and then we came home to change and go to church. Church tonight was pretty good, and the kids were good. So, that was cool. It’s technically now Thursday, but I’ve not yet went to bed. Headed that way, though.
I have been watching Fox News all night with stories from Hurricane Katrina. As with the Tsunami of last December…I have no words. Nothing I could possibly say could put into picture the way I feel about it. My heart just breaks over and over when I watch the news. Seeing a little girl plead with people to help her, as she stood in water over her ankles while an old man she was with tried to push their car to higher land…I can do nothing but cry. I can’t fathom what all of those people are going through. I can’t get over the rationale of such low class people that they would loot stores, and shoot at police who try to stop them. I can’t understand why so many people refused to heed the warning and leave. I can’t help but notice the type of people that decided to refuse to head for safety. I can’t fathom what those parents told themselves to justify letting their little children remain in harm’s way. They still would have lost everything, but they would have saved their children a living hell. It’s just all too much to process.

For anyone looking for a good cause to donate to, besides the Red Cross and all of the others that are always a good option, you should think about donating to Hearts With Hands. It is a good organization, and they offer spiritual help as well to the victims of this disaster. They sent help to my hometown when the tornado hit a couple of years ago. I just wanted to share that link.

I think I’m going to bed now. I’ve had too much to process tonight.
