So they can’t go to Atlanta because that’s where the other half of the family is going….yet they still have way more room than we do….(no I’m not bitter….)
The two extras coming are an older lady…Ryan’s thinking older than his mother for sure…we’re hoping he’s wrong, and her paraplegic daughter.
Aside from being emotional over all of this, Vanessa is really upset over their family in Atlanta not wanting them to come there. (I really don’t know what the deal is there; they’re really awesome people and they have a huge home so I don’t know what’s going on…) And Ryan (again his memory isn’t working at full capacity) thinks this older lady may be the family friend his mother told him just lost her husband a week or two ago. So we’re dealing with some big emotions here, and some challenges.
Best-case scenario they’ll be able to leave Wednesday at the very earliest, otherwise, we’re looking at at least a week.
I’m trying to get the ‘woe is me’ stuff out of my system now. I’m still a little in shock that all this is about to really happen. I know the situation for them, and everyone else in Louisiana is infinitely worse so I really don’t want to be focusing on how this is inconveniencing me when they get here. I just can’t help it at the moment though….it’s a lot to take in when it was just a few hours ago that I even realized Gustav was even something to be concerned with. Last I had heard it was still just a tropical storm.
