OUR FAMILY CHAOS

I was over at mom's house visiting with Carrie and her friend tonight -- we had a good time not talking really about what has happened -- Carrie is tired of talking about as anyone would be that this has happened to. Her and Guy came to the conclusion today that at least Olivia is not old enough to know any of this happened. When she is older she may hear that they lost everything when she was a baby, but she really isn't hendered by it now. Which I think is good for them. They finally found the last associate from Guy's store today -- she tried to get out of the city before the hurricane hit, but she couldn't. So her and her two children were trapped there. Since the end of the storm she tried to get out -- got stuck, ran out of gas had to have someone siphon (spelling) gas out of a lawn mower to get her futher down the road -- as she was traveling down through the town she saw that they looted Guy's store -- what you would do with wicker I don't know, but the devastating part is.... That as she was driving she was trying to cover up her children's eyes because there were dead bodies floating in the road. No luckily Olivia never had to see that and is not going to be traumatized for the rest of her life like Felicia's kids and all the other children stuck at the Superdome and Civic Center. Carrie has enough clothing now for Olivia in the size that she is now, but not the larger sizes 6 months +. Carrie and Guy do not have many clothes because normally they have to leave for 3 or 4 days then they go home and everything is fine... So they only have 3 or 4 days worth of clothing on hand. To bad Guy and Scott are no where the same size and Carrie and I aren't either. So I don't know what to do -- I guess if people want to send gift cards to buy clothing or something I don't know -- they are not going to tell me anything, because they think other people are worse off then they are. So give to others or do what you want for them I don't know. My address is
(well they were here, but when I woke up the morning I remembered that anyone can look at this so I deleted that part I will email you the addresses if you need them) -- if you want to do anything if not give to someone that is in worse shape then they are that truly have nothing. Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts.. And Matthew I think you are truly the sweetest thing ever. Matthew (my cousin -8) wants to be a billionaire when he grows up so that he can give money to people like Carrie to buy all new stuff when they loose everything. And he is going to build a Mansion in London big enough to hold all of his family if they want to come and live with him. Well that is all for now it is late and I have to work in the morning.
