power. out.
This has been a busy/crazy week complete with power outage. Let's just chat about that for a moment.
Thursday was a normal day at work. I began my 8 mile commute home at around 5pm and called my sister to chat. I was so into that conversation (probably about vegetable smoothies or our husbands or working out) that I did not even realize that I had gone about 3 miles in 45 minutes. All the stop lights were out and it was stop and go stop and go. A normal 15-20 minute trip home took... 2 1/2 HOURS!!!!! I learned quite a lot on that trip home.
1. always go to the bathroom before leaving work.
2. always make sure your phone is fully charge.
3. buy a cooler to store the new gallon of milk and carton of eggs I had just bought.
4. have cash on hand.
5. get those little battery operated touch lights.
There were other things I thought about, because 2 1/2 hours is a long time- but those were my top 5, an emphasis being on #1 because I had to go SO bad.
That night Michael and I had to babysit for a family in our ward. Since I was stuck in the horrible traffic, Michael had to go there himself. He had a 6 month old he had to bounce in his arms and a 3 and 4 year old running around wanting to water the front patio with the hose. Everyone was doing so well- until I got there. Turns out that baby knows exactly what her mom looks like and knows that I definitely do not have short blonde hair. Husband to the rescue. He took that baby in his arms and soothed her crying soul. He is going to be such a great dad!
All in all, it was a very interesting day.
