Tropical Storm Fay, Tuesday

Jonathan's school was cancelled for today and tomorrow. Dave's job shut down for today. My appointment for this afternoon was rescheduled, and Dave's band practice was also cancelled. So far it's just been a lot of rain. There was a tornado warning for our immediate area (my Mom called to tell me about it, I never pay attention to important stuff like this). I suggested maybe we should go in the hallway, or something, but I think Dave thought I was overreacting. I went and sat in the hallway with Anna for about 45 seconds, but then I felt really silly. Also, I felt bad that I took Anna but left Jonathan sitting in the family room with Dave. Plus it was really hurting me to sit on the floor, and Anna was having such a huge fit (the fit was not related to the tornando, but to an actual crisis: Anna wanted to peel her own orange, and I did not think she was capable. She was furious!) that I could not stand to be near her. So that was the main excitement today. Our power is still on. The front yard is pretty flooded, but thankfully our house was built up above the road. The houses on the front street into our neighborhood probably have water almost to their doors. I am a little worried about the pool overflowing, but what can I do?
I finished a book, used the treadmill, scrapbooked a little, and now we are going to eat an early dinner and just hang out. I expect that the power will go out at some point tonight, but hopefully I will be proven wrong. The kids are already a little stir-crazy. Hope all of the other Floridians are faring as well as we are!
