Stormy Night

A BIG storm blew through here this evening with wind gusts of 80 mph. I tried to go out and save my potted zuccini and the wind broke it as I was trying to get to it. Kira was screaming because the wind was blowing things in the door so I gave it up and came in and watched my little garden get battered. Jess lost power as soon as it hit, a lot of Omaha is still without power, but Jess got turned back on about 30 minutes ago. It was over pretty quick leaving Omaha a mess in its wake.
Tomorrow Kira goes to stay with Jami at Family Works. I will still be picking her up during the day until daycare is set up for her there and she will be able to come visit still, too. Jami will get her first four hour pass Saturday, I will pick her up at 8 and return her at noon. I know Jami hates it there but hope that something clicks with her to help her stay off drugs. She could be one of the hardest core addicts they have had to deal with there and I sometimes think they are out of their depth. I don't have any better ideas but I'm not convinced that they know what they are doing either.
Kira and Jaz are still fighting that bug. Kira also has a hellacious yeast infection in her diaper area that is making her miserable.
We are having a very hot July. Today was miserable in the 90's with the heat index around 115. I did 12 loads of laundry this morning and thought I was going to have another heat stroke. The laundromat was only a few degrees cooler than outside. It feels like Texas...
Time for sleep!
