Finally, I'm back online! From my warm and brightly lit living room. I <3 electricity.
Past few days have been a mess weather-wise. We've been getting remnants of Hurricane Ida or whatever that things name was. Work even closed early yesterday, and let me tell you that neeeever happens. This area is just getting worse every year with the flooding. Or maybe I'm just noticing it more now that I'm a "grown-up". :)
Last night I was fixing dinner and Wesley was in his high chair watching his "shows" when the power went out. Pitch black.
"I'm scared mommy".
"Don't be scared baby, I'm right here" (as I try to make it to the living room and smack into the wall in the kitchen).
So we played leggos and blocks by candlelight, took a bath by toy lantern (also how I showered this morning) and after little man was in bed, I read a magazine by flashlight and polished off a carton of icecream. Hey it was going to go bad anyway...
Luckily, our big freezer still had frozen food in it this morning and Jeff took it all to Nikki's house so it wouldn't go bad. Our power came back on around 5 p.m. - almost a full 24 hours after it went out.
I'm feeling quite thankful right now - but not looking forward to cleaning out the fridge tomorrow morning. :)
