April 16, 2011--Tornadoes in ENC
On Saturday, April 16, my family huddled in our bedroom closet because of the tornado threat. Little did we know so much destruction was happening such a short distance away.
Being on maternity leave during this time was a blessing and a curse. I felt very disconnected from my GCMS family, not being able to be there to help. Luckily many things were able to be salvaged and we only lost a small percentage of books from the media center.

| Front of the school--this was a courtyard with a bell tower and the marquee...the bell tower is no longer there. Those long things laying on top of the building are our flag poles, they were bent at the bottom. |

| Our cafeteria |
 |
| Our bus lot--many windows were blown out of the buses. |
 |
| Propane tanks blown around in the back of the school |

 |
| GCMS Media Center--many of the books remained on the shelves and the carts! AMAZING! |
 |
| I wanted more tables and chairs....just NOT this way! |

At Home with Hannah
Being at home with Hannah is very interesting. Having an older child definitely has its benefits in that your expectations are very realistic this time around. You know she is going to have a hungry cry, a sleepy cry, a my diaper is wet cry....Breastfeeding this time around has been a better experience as well, and again I resort back to knowing what to expect from having the first one. The second baby might not get all the new stuff, but I feel she is definitely in a more comfortable parenting environment.
The first few weeks at home were an adjustment, for sure....and I will say that I was terribly overwhelmed....I had a hard time wrapping my mind around how everything around the house was going to get done with two kids! Between being tired and knowing how much had to be done, I had to re-prioritize a lot of things...
