Wow.
At the end of week 3 - I didn't bring home my laptop - therefore..no post. Let's just skip to week 4.
Monday afternoon - the first grade teacher is out at recess with my kids, I'm in the office getting brag tags then the Kindergarten teacher runs into the office and says, "MY DAUGHTERS HOUSE IS ON FIRE!"
That was the start to the Boles Fire in Weed, CA.
We hear second hand that this fire is near the elementary school in Weed..I immediately think of my Abuelita (grandma in spanish) and her husband Rosendo. I call and call and no answer. I call Nick and ask if he knows of anything and he says no. I hang up - then hear that Shastina is being evacuated. I call Nick back and tell him so he and Billy can get home ASAP. I take my kids to the afterschool program earlier and race home. I'm crying and hysterical - trying to get ahold of Abuelita. I call my parents, (who are stuck on I5 with the trailer because they were just coming back from Bandon) to try to get them to reach Abuelita. I get home and get Teddy's stuff first, I grab basically all of our paperwork (work, insurance, medical, loans, etc..), medications, grab some clothes, throw it into the car and race to Billy's house.
From there we decide to drive north and end up at a gas station parking lot. Then Billy and Nick have to get all of their players where we are. After 3ish hours - all the guys are accounted for and a total of 7.5 hours later we get to go home. It was awful and there is terrible devastation to Weed.
I apologize for getting off track but I have been so out of it the past two weeks!
