Getting ready in the dark

Nothing better than waking up to find the power is out. Poor Joel had to take a cold shower in the dark, I couldn't make him a hot breakfast, I couldn't make his tea!

A Tree fall on the power line so our whole block is dark. Estimated repair time between 10-4. Well that's awesome. I put flashlights in the bathroom so Star and Sissy can have some light when they get ready.

I also woke Sissy up to tell her the power was out. I talked about how her morning would be different, cold shower, in the dark. There is no windows in our bathrooms. Thankfully a cold breakfast was already planned so that won't change.

She took the news good.

So yeah great start to the morning. But hey I did get 3 hours of sleep last night so there is that!

We lose power here frequently every time it rains. Joel can stop on the way to work and get a warm breakfast and tea if he wants. I'm sorry, but I don't do cold showers. I would clean up in the sink and shower when I got home. I hope the kids see it as an adventure and don't get upset.
@Musicman yeah I know he can I just enjoy doing that for him. The boys take their baths at night so they will be fine. It's just our daughter I'm a little worried about. But at least I prepared her for it. I did tell her she could skip her shower but she looked at me like I was crazy lol.

@Cigarguy101 Yeah, that's not happening with girl's. Lol!!! You would be better off renting a hotel room so the girls can shower and dress.
@Musicman if it was going to be out for a few days I probably would but I think they will be ok for one morning.
