Day 11 without power

...and now back to the regularly scheduled whining about our power outage. Tonight I called for an update of the progress and I got "...we hope to have everyone up by Friday."

HOPE?

FRIDAY?

That's sort of NOT THE ANSWER I WAS HOPING FOR.

So now we're in the last 2,000 of 186,000 that were initially without power. I've never been in the last 2,000 of 186,000 anythings in my life. What an honor. My sis and I agree someone ought to be holding prizes for the last 100 or so poor souls to get turned back up...

Alex and Mickey are going to school tomorrow again...it's Christmas program day. Mickey told me tonight his class is singing "Go Tell It On the Mountain." For just a few minutes maybe I can forget about our problems and enjoying watching my sons onstage staring into space while their teachers frantically try to get them to sing. It'll be a welcome moment of tranquility.

Guess the only consolation is your December electric bill should be extra-low!

Well, dear Daughter,
It has been rather quiet here, but still busy.
Finally got the decorations on tree, moved the coffe table in the corner and put the rest of my decorations on it. I know 2 little boys will destroy it, however, with wall to wall people here maybe they won't notice it. Ya think???
