Trapped

That is what I felt like today! Trapped in my own house...without power, without warm water, without the capacity to go anywhere! Jimmy is out of town and I have no idea how to use our snow blower. Even if I knew how to use it, what would I do with the girls? The Durango would have made it out of the garage and up the driveway, but wouldn't climb the small mountain created by the plow trucks. So here we are, 3pm and I haven't left my house for two days! Power went out this morning at around 6:45 and only after a small cup of coffee finished brewing. So I didn't have a shower and I didn't have coffee! Not a good day.

We had an OK morning...all things considered. My dear hubby called his co-worker who offered to come over to start our generator and snow blow the driveway. I told him that we were OK for now and that I didn't want him to risk parking his car on the road and trekking 250 feet of driveway with a snow blower that should have been run at least twice by the time this morning rolled around. Fortunately my buddy Sully will be over after work to plow the crazy long driveway. The girls and I are going to get the heck out of the house as soon as the driveway is clear. Not sure where we will go...just somewhere!

Good news is we got power back a few hours later - before the house got too cold and during Sawyer's morning nap, so I had a peaceful warm shower. My days don't start until I shower. I finished my coffee and we are back in business!

How do people manage without power? Without water? Oh well. We managed and we managed to have a fun morning. Both girls were perfectly content in the semi-warm house playing with their toys. I didn't worry about the laundry or any other chore, I just sat and played.

I guess if I have to be trapped, my home is where I want to be...and my babies are so entertaining.
