I'm tired of hurricanes!!!

[Shea]

:mad: :mad: I hate them! I know that I have some people that I have to get back to especially in the Shakespeare thread, but I just wanted to vent real quick first before my next class.

The worst thing is that it hasn't been inconvienient for us at all, and as a result, I can't get my husband, who has never really been through one, to take them seriously! He wants them to come because he gets overtime and our house is well insured. I can't seem to get him to understand that you don't have to be rich to be driven by money (which is the way that he sees his sisters.)

I can't make up my mind if I want Ivan to hit us or not and it's making me so upset that I can't focus on my schoolwork. I'm sorry if my statements don't connect well.

I do not know if it can be a comfort that wthatever way you wish - the hurricane goes it´s way. For good or bad your wish will not control it.

Sad about the conflict with your husband. It´s always a pain when someone you like doesn´t take you worries seriously, and sometimes it makes your mind all jambled up, trying to decide who´s right. At least I think so. When my boyfriend does not see money trouble as serious as I do I always start to wonder if I´m worrying to much, or am a boring pessimist. And I am really not. But he not caring makes me think that I´m the strange one. And that nagging doubt in myself always makes me upset. Relationships work in mysterious ways.

I don´t know if this is anything like your trouble right now, I just thought it might be similar.

Sending you a thought of hugs, and hope the hurricane will leave you alone.

Shea, that's awful! on the news today, i heard it's a 5. my goodness! and i saw a picture in the paper yesterday of a boy shoveling the debris from his sister's room. for your sake i hope that Ivan leaves you well alone.
My bf and I have the same inconsistencies that you and Isagel have mentioned, and while not a spendthrift, he doesn't understand that I like to always have a certain amount in savings for emergencies. Although he has become a lot more careful over the years. time and work...
i do, do hope you don't have to collect the insurance for a damaged house - how inconvenient would that be! and with school in session ;) and everything.
this morning i heard that convicts in jamaica are free now because the hurrican destroyed their prison. we can never know what nature will do...
you take care, and know your hubby loves you dear.
hugs from me too.

Thank you for your sympathy guys. And Isagel, you hit the nail on the head. That's exactly how I feel. For the last few days we've had arguement, then forgave, then arguements again, then forgivness,... it keeps going back and forth so that sometimes I feel angry even when he's not around and I don't really know why. I just about burst into tears in my French class. (I guess it didn't help that my teacher wants us to talk about Frances in French and I frustrated about not being able to find the words that I want.)

I feel like I have a perverse desire to check the weather though I know it will upset me, and sure enough, they've changed it to hit my area again.

I'm sorry for sounding like a nervous broken record.

I guess the only good thing to come out of all this is that I'm spending more time with my Irish grandmother and I'm thoroughly enjoying her stories. She lives alone with just her cat and probably wouldn't evacuate (though she hasn't been asked to yet), so it makes everyone feel better that I'm there with her.

I thank you guys for your concern, and I'll try to be as safe as possible if Ivan does come our way.

My Grandparents have had to leave their place in florida becuause of that hurricane. I side with Isagel in the thought, I wouldn't dare degrade myself to words of hope, that the hurricane passes your house over.

:flare: :flare: :flare: Please let this be the last one! The last time that one state was hit by four hurricanes in one season was Texas in the 1800's! How bout all of us here in North America step out our doors, face east, take a deep breath and try to blow Lisa apart just to be sure. They say that she isn't a threat to the states, but they said the same thing about Jeanne.

:confused: so, how is it going? hope it's fine, and noone gets hurt... :S

[Shea]

Oh, yeah, we're all fine physically. We're the rare people who still haven't lost power, haven't had damage, so we're very lucky. But everytime a storm comes through, I fall farther and farther behind in my studies. While a nice steady rain is great study weather, howling wind that could cause a tree to come through any window at any time is not. I do like the excuse to spend time with my grandmother though.
