I have been thinking about that, but am rather non-religious after a Catholic girlhood that didn't treat me well. :)<br /><br />Bud I'll think about that.

Still, I have committed myself on this blog to telling the truth of our experience, not sugar coating or MothersVoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02479178355207142195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19421951.post-37861264603401916782012-11-07T13:48:06.921-05:002012-11-07T13:48:06.921-05:00Here in Staten Island there are real, we ain't...Here in Staten Island there are real, we ain't kidding problems, not just ASD but ALL vulnerable people, not just kids but also adults, people living at home, people in IRAs, people in nursing homes (did you know the Mayor specifically exempted nursing homes and hospitals from evacuation? that is far, far worse than the marathon idiocy).

We got home on Saturday and spent the next day cleaning out the frig and settling back in and trying to catch up on a week of email from people who seemed to have been unaffected by the storm. I hope your cousin gets his power back soon. It is really cold today, and expected to be colder still tomorrow. <br /><br />The Langone and Bellevue evacuations were terrifying.

They were without power and I think still are :( …<br /><br />But glad to hear that you are all okay and surviving. It's so hard when our kiddos are off their routine.
