The advancing flames are being held south of a reservoir, the winds have shifted, and there is more moisture in the air. All adding up to a less critical condition than previously reported. I am at work, after sending the women-folk up north to Disneyland for a much needed break.
The girls are on edge, being unable to attend school and on high-alert for the past two days are understandably tense. I would not be able to get any work done, being constantly concerned of their well-being, we concocted a plan to send them to Disneyland. Now that I am thinking about it, what a dumb plan! They get to go to Disneyland and I get to stay home? What the hell was I thinking?!
An interesting side note, when the girls were faced with filling their tubs with stuff they could take with them, the seven year old wanting to take her new, bright green, floor rug which reminds her of Tinkerbell. The three year old was fitfully trying to cram in every stuffed animal she owns. What kind of statement does it make when we cannot fit more than half her stuffed menagerie into a fifteen gallon tub? While the adults were concerned with computers, electronics, and pictures, the children were focused on the importance of their comfort items.
Lesson to be learned here.
