No but then again the only place I've gone so far today is my kids school. And tonight I'll be just going to Girl Scout mtg.

Yeah, the middle and high school traffic was lighter than normal this morning but that is about it. Everyone seemed to be at work this AM and today is our anniversary so trying to keep Brian from going out to dinner would take an act of god, not just a strike.

I live in a predominately hispanic area and all the mexican restuarants are closed, no kids walking by my house at this time like there usually is.

The gas stations around here all the sudden have "white" people working them when usually it's all hispanic. The same happened at Chipotle when I went there for lunch today...no hispanic people working at all.

I'm beginning to believe that the thought of hurting the american economy is backfiring because the only businesses that are closed are those that are run by hispanics and obviously they aren't making any money.

No doubt Jeri Anne! I've seen the same thing. And as far as my garbage goes... the company said all service this week would be delayed by one day! so my trash will supposedly get picked up tomorrow... we'll see! :o

One day isn't so bad.

(ps. I'm glad you liked the clothes...I'll be having some 3-6 month soon....Ryan at 7 months is FINALLY starting to get too big for them. I'm glad that I can pass them along to someone else who will get some use....The TCP white outfit was one that Ryan wore all the time because it was one of the few things that fit him...)
