We lost power for a few hours this morning.
No big deal. They’re changing the power lines on our street so it was bound to happen. When we spend a day at home, we’re pretty good at entertaining ourselves anyway.
So ironically here’s what I got inspired to do while the power was out:
- put a load of laundry in the washing machine and turn it on
- pick out a dvd to watch since the TV “wasn’t working”
- put the baby down for a nap, including trying to heat her bottle and turn on the monitor
- surf the internet
- recharge my laptop because the battery was low
- recharge my dying phone while I was at it
- change the light bulb in the bathroom including trying to test it
- make eggs. (I stopped myself before I cracked any but then proceeded to start to…)
- make soup.
Wuh-wuh.
And that was just in the first hour. God I’m awesome. The only break in this display of stupidy-dumb was when I got frustrated and started dressing the kids to go somewhere only to realize that the car was in the shop.
Remember?
When I had taken the car to the shop two hours earlier?
WUH-WUH.
Who says routines are good for us? They just turn us into idiots.
Or maybe I was already there.
Anyway, here is what we wound up doing in the end.
Yeah. That’s right.
The kids hucked stuff down the stairs and I fell asleep while being the human baby gate.
I heard it’s what they did in the olden days.
You can bet my house was a-hummin’ when the power came back on.

Yup. I hear this. Like when the water was out here, so I decided to take a long bath until it came back. Smart.

My phone doesn’t work without power. I can use me bbq to cook, still have gas heat…but without a phone I can’t even call people to explain why I’m off line. Which reminds me … I wonder when the last hydro bill was paid ….
