I heard this phrase announced this week as our journalists were discussing how the general population of Houston is experiencing "hurricane fatigue." I would agree- I am tired of preparing for hurricanes. However, this time I was a little scared. So we decided to evacuate after much deliberation. We left our home in Humble, TX and headed North to our former hometown of Conway, AR. We pulled out at 8:15 p.m. with 2 dogs, 1 cat, 1 kitten, 2 kids and all of their supplies. Madgette slept through the entire trip and is raring to go this morning. Julie slept through some of the trip and is rested. The Razorback drove almost the entire trip (he even took over when I attempted to drive and then failed) so he has slept a lot this morning.
The evacuation experience has left me with a new definition of "hurricane fatigue." Perhaps it should be added to Webster's dictionary: the complete exhaustion that ensues after evacuating from a hurricane; symptoms include headache, sore throat, puffy eyes, and general grumpiness from lack of sleep.
Any thoughts?

Oh, my gosh. I had completely forgotten that you are in Houston. Glad you made it to AR and pray for the safety of your home and all of you.
Thanks!!
We are anxious to find out about any damage our home might have from the blowing around of objects from our neighbors back yard. (He is the local junk man)
We have a fear of his junk blwing into our house and destroying it.
We will see- at least we are all out safe, and I brought Madison's baby book and 2 of my mother's scrapbooks so I know they are all OK.
