I now know for sure that I could have survived back in the olden days, but maybe only a day or two. So, we have been without power completely since Thursday at noon. We have all been staying warm as best as we can. Brian finally got a generator Friday night and plugged in our heater and fridge. Then Saturday we plugged in the TV with the DVD player. So, we have been watching movies non-stop. Brian cooked a big pot of Taco soup for everyone Saturday, my sister brought beans and cornbread, and my Mom made a cake and spicy corn. Her electricity went out at the end of the cooking time for the cake, but she just left it in the oven for a while, and it turned out delicious. We have actually gotten to take a shower each day, and sleep in our own bed each night. Our water pressure is slowly dying, and now I hear another storm is headed our way. Marlow is saying that we will be without power until Friday, Awesome! Kenna and I are at work right now, they just got power fully back on late last night. So, we are here just for support right now. I sent some laundry home with mom last night and she kept Gracie and Addy. The attitudes have been for the most part great, just a little crabbiness, from boredom, I am sure. Needless to say, we are ready for things to get back to normal, but maybe this will be a new normal. Maybe we should turn off the TV every once in a while and let our imagination run free :) Gracie loves to make up stories now, and we know we can find stuff for them to do!
