I feel for y'all. We were without electricity for 9 days, twice, within a month because of two hurricanes in 2004. I sure do like me some 'lectricity, let me tell you. Especially fond of air conditioning.
Hope they get up and running before you miss all your favorite shows.
One thing you can do when there is no power: try for an other baby! ;)
You are hilarious! Hope you get your power back soon!
I would panic if we were without power for that long. I have 3 freezers (1 deep freeze and 2 fridge) freezers, plus our 2 fridges full of food at all times, because I only shop for groceries a couple of times a month. We would lose a lot of food and $$$ if that happened to us. Cooking would be the very least of my worries. I could work my way around that by using our barbecue, which has a gas burner on the side.
lol at yofed's comment. ;)
when a mean storm passed by, our electricity was cut off for around three days, and we didn't like it one bit! yeah, no electricity means no internet, emails, blogging, tv... :(
hope it'll come back real soon!
I lost electricity this morning and had to ask for help to figure out how to get my car out of the garage to get to work. I'm blond.
One thing I did when I was home alone - before the grandkids moved in - when my electricity went out was fill the bathtub with sleeping bags and pillows and put candles all around it, got a glass of wine and read. It was wonderful while it lasted - 15 minutes. lol
Couldn't you call your mom on your cell phone? I lost your number.
There was a really bad ice storm here right after Christmas break back in 01 or 02. My in-laws were without power for a month. They had a generator for the heater and stove. It was crazy around here.
Hubby and I were away at college, so we got off easy.
Hope you get back to normal soon. Can a household ful of kids survive very long without Spongebob? Thanks for stopping by my Thursday 13 #44, the 13 Really Really Bad Movies Edition.
