Not the post I promised.

Ice storm 2008-

Well, I have December daily days 10 and 11 completed, but not posted due to some unexpected events today. We have been without power since 2 AM. This just isn't my week! Somehow, all the photos I took last night at the CASA Christmas party mysteriously disappeared from my memory card--especially a really nice one of Bre and Helen. Speaking of that, Breanna has been totally beside herself with the stressful events from today. I don't even known what to do for her. I'm at work now, and we are staying in a hotel tonight. Last night I woke up as soon as the power went out at around 2AM. I couldn't go back to sleep, my mind was just racing and my stomach was tight just thinking about the disaster I would wake up to in morning and how UNPREPARED we were yet again to deal with a power outage. Everything in our yard is covered with a thick layer of ice, which under different circumstances would look quite beautiful. We cooked our morning breakfast on our gas grill outdoors and read books under the down blanket with a flashlight. When the temp inside dipped below 60 we headed out in the car. The roads were fine and I headed over to the gym to take a shower before work. I know, it could be worse. I'm thankful we are all safe and have food for our bellies and a warm place to sleep tonight. Let's pray that our power is restored soon so we can get out and buy that generator as our Xmas present!
