starting to hit hard

Im at my daughters & staying w them during the fires. 2 bedroom apt, 2 kids, 2 adults, & 3 dogs. She has 2 cats. My son took us to lunch today. last night daughter took us to dinner. All of a sudden i got real depressed. Told hubby we should go to the big bear house. We were outside having a cig, (thank god those 2 kids didnt pick up that habit & we wont smoke in their house) but my son is talking bout all the stuff he does & my daughter gets her nails done, pedicures, hair done, etc... I said, shit, i cantg afford to buy food for the house sometimes. Im happy they can do the things they do but it depresses me too. Does that make any sense??? I havent really cried over all the shit yet, but have gotten teary eyed. Im not sure its really hit, or has it??? I watch the mtn & homes & places we've been & lived for 15 yrs going up in balls of fire.
so far it has not got our house but i love those mtns... It is my home, maybe not my house but my home.
i still think we should leave daughters apt. She said the manager called her today on her ce3ll to let her know no dogs allowed. She explained that we were evac. & the mangaer said to let her know how long we will be here then. WHO THE FUCK KNOWS!!!! If i could go home right now i would. I should had stayed & sent kids down w someone.
if im not online tomarrow, it may be cuz im in big bear & no internet access there but will have cell phone.
I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT THE FUCK TO DO!!!!!!!!

OMG I am just watching this tragedy right now on tv. I cannot express how sad this makes me. The boards need to be prepared for thsi aftermath. What a loss. You are in a state of shock and bewilderment not knowing what is happening to your home. This is tragic indeed, no wonder you're so upset by this. Thank God you saved your critter and I am glad he;'s with you. Look people don't know how to act during an emergency situation and so that guy is also in shock and probably trying to make an extra buck out of this too. Pray and take it a minute at a time, if you have to.
I am praying for California all day now, that the winds should die down. I'll be up late.

So sorry for what you are going through right now. I'm in Riverside California, not in the path of fires. I'm astounded and horrified how big and destructive these fires are. Best wishes to you and your family.

I went through the '89 earthquake up here in northern CA, and even if you don't lose your own home, a catastrophe that happens locally can create a lot of trauma.

I'm so sorry that you're having to go through this. I wish the best for you and hope you and your family get through this all right. Do you have access to a therapist? Talking to someone who understands is so important....

girlie....if you need me to come back down to southern CA to help you , all you have to do is ask and I will be down there in a heart beat! I cannot imagine what you are going through darlin. PLEASE ALLOW yourself to cry though, cry to me, cry to God cry to anybody!

If you go to big bear (aren't there fires up there too?) then you can always call me and I will post anything on DS that you want me to post for you! WHATEVER YOU NEED!

I cannot watch the news for very long without ending up in tears. My best friend is in San bern and my folks in fontana, so I get almost hourly updates on what is happening.
I swear to you girlie...I will come down there to help if you need me!

I'm having a hard time watching this on the news because I remember the Oakland Hills fire in '91.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
