My mom is so indecisive right now. I don't blame her. We're in a situation where we have no choice but to take things day by day. So I have to understand better why she's so much more frustrated and irritable. My aunt and uncle are still in New Orleans. But they're fine. My uncle bought two generators, and has 3 refrigerators full of food and AC. Amazing...because he lives right down the street from St.Aug on Miro street. I think they might be living better than us...I only say that because atleast they're at home. I took so much for granted, and this hurricane has opened my eyes. I've never been through anything this bad...I've been through tornadoes, blizzards, even a mini earth quake...but never a hurricane.

We left Jess and Twinkie with my step-father in Alabama. I was heartbroken. It was then it really hit me that this hurricane changed our lives completely. I can only imagine what the other evacuees must've felt, how they suffered so much. A whole city displaced...where do we go from here? My mom and her many ideas are sending us all over the country. I was told today to look up apartments in Colorado. Ironic, so ironic that we leave Colorado to be closer to family, only for our family to be all over the America and for us to go back. So after doing my research, I've come across three apartments, 1 in Aurora and 2 in Colorado Springs. I doubt any of the information I give to my mom will do any good, like I said, she doesn't know what she wants to do. The longer she waits, the longer Whitney, Amber and I sit out of school. The longer she waits, we will be without jobs and a stable place to stay. The longer she waits, it's 3 hour less drive back to New Orleans when they let us back into the city.
