It all started one hot and humid afternoon when my son’s had a soccer game. This day happens to be a good one, for the simple fact that I’ve been on a roll with my dieting and already ran my three miles for the day. However our trips to the soccer field have never been my favorite. Real quick, I’ll explain why! This is my sons first year playing soccer and the coach they were punished with is this little college girl who could careless about the children! She doesn’t practice with them, or even pay attention while the game is going! So much to be said! but I won’t go there. As usual, I’m recording their game and a parent says to me
Parent: hey, where are you guys going for the hurricane? Me: Hurricane? what hurricane?!
Anyways, I basically found out about the hurricane right there on the spot!
ME: I’m not going nowhere! Parent: really? Savannah, Florida and S. Carolina have already started evacuating! ME: What? no way!!! are you serous? Parent: Yeah! I think you might want to leave town to be on the safe side! ME: ( thoughts ) Gosh, mother of fungus frog eye snake butt poop head burnt chicken nuggets!!!!!! I just lost half a pound…..:(
So off we go! after the game, my son’s and I pack and prepare to head out. As a precaution I stop at wall Mart to pick up some water and jerky. walking though the door of wall mart was a surprise, shock & WTF! I thought black friday wasn’t till next month! As we make our way to the water, all you hear is this irritating amber alert sound coming from every ones phone, including mine:( Any how we end up leaving empty-handed because there was too much caos and no water, LOL.
Next day I wake up like damn this is for Real, and I’m not really in the mood, and on top of that my sons don’t have school for like ever!!!! After preparing, and packing the car with shotguns and zombie knifes we are ready to head out first thing in the morning! Knock! knock! who’s there? random people!!!! LOL naw, just a friend that had t leave their home and traveled up my way to travel with us!! YIKES not my cup of tea, but as a good friend I have to help…So! my friend has a girlfriend, who has a baby, that has a brother, that has a brother, that has a mother, that is the ex of my friend!! SAY WHAT!!! check this out!!!
MY FRIEND, HIS GIRLFRIEND, THERE NEW BORN, 6 YEAR OLD BOY FROM GIRLFRIENDS PREVIOUS RELATIONSHIP, 7 YEAR OLD BOY FROM MY FRIENDS PREVIOUS RELATIONSHIP, THE 7 YEAR OLD BOYS MOM WHICH IS THE EX. OF MY FRIEND!!!!!!!
Hold up!! I invited him not knowing that all this was attached!!But it’s all good! He’s awesome guy! We are not going to get into details about the group tho. So everybody spends the night at my house. Next morning I’ first to wake, and attempt to wake up everyone which was not the easiest because the adults got drunk and the kids stayed up all night! PLEASE DONT SAY ANYTHING!! I KNOW!! huh! Off we finally make it, a forever drive to Atlanta, Georgia with the all of us! as we come closer to our destination we realize that we most likely are going to be sleeping in the car because there are no hotels what soever! long drive and hotel search short! I finally find the most awesomeness people on Airbnb, and they free of charge lay my sons and I up in a room! The group with my friend finds a hotel up towards Tennessee, Yikes keep driving buddy.
So mini vacation and 1500 dollars later we are told the roads are opening back up, and we may be allowed back home! Off we make that crazy drive back home, stuck in traffic! Finally My son’s and I arrive and my friend and I part ways. Now I get the saying home sweet home!
Hurricane Matthew really bites!! other than my trash can tipped over, shed room ripped off, trash and flooding, broken trees everywhere, no wifi for a week, throwing away all my food in the freezer and fridge every things great! Blessed that the house is still there, because I’m not sure if our insurance covers it, LOL
