I am missing hail! So unfair!

I just got a call from dear son, and he reported to me that pea-sized hail was falling from the sky in South Central Georgia!!! No freakin' way!!! I loved getting the report, but you know, it would have been great to have been there! Apparently, I am the one with the curse! All I had to do was leave, and it rained almost immediately. The "Dew-Nothing-when-Dew's-Around" curse... so unfair!

I am a little nervous about the interstate tomorrow. I have heard reports that it is still closed. The alternate routes are not cool. I just want to get out of here! Don't get me wrong... I have had a nice time. It's been lovely visiting, but enough is enough. Mothers' Day has been nice, though. Hubby and Mini-Dew gave me the "Extreme Storms" DVD co-produced by Jim Edds and a digital Rain Gauge... It doesn't get much better than that. It was funny because I was looking at the DVD and I saw Jim's picture in the bottom right of the case, and I said, "Hey, that looks like Jim Edds." Sure enough... Very cool. I sat by the pool all day soaking up rays through a very hazy sky. My pool boy, Michael, was wonderful about keeping those mudslides flowing for me. Makes for a very good experience. I didn't have to do much... One of the other mothers and I went on strike and let hubby take care of the kids. Then, we were one of the two teams selected to partipate in a live (not filmed) Nick family show. We won, which means that our team captain (a little boy from the group we're here with) got slimed!! Big thrills, Nick style... The show also gave this DCA employee the opportunity to make a complete fool of himself. Nickelodeon is great for embarrassing people!! I'll be sending this guy pictures soon... Really though, it was fun.

Apparently, we have some stuff rolling in this way... the wind's been picking up here, and the sky is covering over pretty well, so it's possible that (even though "Dew-Nothing" is here) it could rain. As long as it rains on those fires! I hope we can make it home tomorrow!

Anyone know an alternate route from Orlando to South Georgia??? I see now that I-95 has also been closed... yikes!

Update: I-95 is partially re-opened... so far out of the way. Mile marker 427 to the state line isn't that far, is it? I need to check my Atlas... man, do I need GPS, or what? A Garmin would show me the way...

I'd better run!
