As you all know, there has been a wild arctic blizzard going on for the past few days. I am not too very well informed about the politics of all of this, but I do know that a lot of people seem to be blaming this on Governor Abbott and ERCOT, they seem to be in charge of Texas’ power supply. Our home thankfully has not been impacted by the power outages, but my mom and mother-in-law have not had light since yesterday morning. This is ridiculous, it was as low as 23 degrees last night! I was so worried about our moms out there in the cold and darkness. Tonight they finally agreed to leave their homes. I tried for hours to find a hotel for my family but literally every single hotel in the Rio Grande Valley is booked! My mom, dad, and little sister came to stay with us and my mother-in-law is staying at her father’s home; so everyone is safe. But seriously, what about the poor people out there that do not have anyone? Or the poor defenseless animals roaming the streets? Ugh, I don’t know l, I just think all of this could have been avoided and the government just honestly could not give two craps about us. I am afraid of what the future holds as I watch my two beautiful children grow up. They have never known life before COVID, well Luna did for a little over a year but then BOOM! Life just changed completely. I can not help but to feel a little mom guilt because I feel like I can not show them cool places or take them on mini adventures. I can not imagine the families that have no light right now and they have small babies like mine! I do not know what this world is coming to but all I can do is raise my babies correctly, teaching them right from wrong and praying that they will be protected and be the light in this dying and dark world.
