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!

I am familiar with such mornings. I clearly remember when we (parents and four kids) moved into an unfinished house. The basement was the only finished part - and we’d sprint out of bed to the stove which had been parentally pre-warmed, and we’d get dressed by the open oven door.

The reason we moved there was because my Dad was a pastor and the deacons & such wanted to sponsor bingo games in the church for revenue. Dad said no, they said yes, and we packed up the next day and left the city.

I was a kid. It was an adventure.
@Mamapolo2016 yeah just goes to show how spoiled we have gotten over the years. Lol
@Cigarguy101 Me too! Electricity outages feel like returning to prehistory.
