It feels weird to be at home with no data to enter, no events or phonebanks on the horizon. My duties as IT whiz extraordinaire for the Obama campaign are on weather delay this weekend. They pulled our field organizer out to Raleigh until Hanna passes and canceled all our events. Oh well, gave me a chance to catch up on baking. Also gave me a chance to pick up every single possible loose object in our yard this morning. Yuck.

We’ve had a little rain this afternoon in advance of Hanna, but the winds are just now begining to blow. The pressure has dropped enough that the cats are stuck to me like glue and the dog has burried herself under some blankets. It looks like the exciting part of this little tropical storm will be coming in the wee hours of Saturday morning. With any luck, I’ll get settled enough not to see it.

The boys are doing fantastic. I think we’ve immerrsed them enough into the science of the storm that they aren’t afraid. Ollie actually got a hold of the remote this afternoon and was all excited because he turned to our local weather channel. Emmett took advantage of all the activity and decided he would stay up late. since he napped this afternoon, I indulged him. We cut out all kinds of animals out of Play-dough and to my surprise, he counted them all for me. He could quantify 5 cats and 3 ducks. I think that’s pretty impressive for 2 and a half.

I’m certain we won’t blow or wash away from this storm. If anything exciting happens, I’ll post about it, but I sincerely doubt it.
