So it's pretty much a waiting game now. Not if but when will the power go out. I've gathered up all my flashlights and candles. We bought our lunchmeat, bread and enough Coke to last us awhile. Carbonated beverages trump milk in my book.
And so we wait.
The sound of it hitting the windows is getting old already - 2 hours into it.
Chris is at work. He wouldn't listen to me and stay home. He won't be home until 6 am. Hopefully sooner. I would be a lot more calm if he was here with us. Not gonna lie.
And this week, of all weeks, I'm dog-sitting for our neighbor. They're on a cruise. I hope they get sea-sick. Not really, just kiddng. Okay, maybe a little. And all I have is their garage door opener. So, what happens if the garage door is frozen... or the elecricity goes out... sigh.
The kids, I think, are a bit excited about the "idea" of it at this point. Let's see how they feel after a day of no power. I remember going through an ice-storm when I was about 12 and being without power for about a week. It was not fun. I think I re-read the whole Little House series.
So, I'm hoping that I'm just being overly cautious about all this. And tomorrow, or whenever, I can post again and laugh about how nervous I was. I'm crossing my fingers....
