Blackout

Last night around 7:30-8 we went into a brown out. My tv started freaking out and so did my dishwasher. Then my lights were on but very dim. So annoying. Then it got worse... it went totally black. Lucky for me we had the brownout first because I could tell something was up and I got my flashlights out and candles then got my kids in their pj's. Bryan didn't come home until 9:30 and it was hard to keep the kids entertained in the dark that long. I've now learned how unprepared I am for something like that. I was especially worried about it getting cold in my house without power to run the furnace. Lucky for us the power came on around midnight and we kept warm enough.
Then this morning we spent a fun filled time running errands while Blake was screaming his head off. I have yet to see a kid act that bad in a store- mine or someone else's even. So embarrassing.

I'm glad you shared your story. It reminded me of how unprepared I am if something happens. I only have one working flashlight in the house, except the toy one that my son has. And to think we need to prepare ourselves for something a lot worse than just a blackout.
