Surprised

Yesterday was kinda a crazy day.  I watched a friend's little girl in the morning and then subbed for the preK class again.  Valentine's Day party + 8 four year olds = craziness.  It was fun though I'm glad their teacher is back!  After that I ran some errands.  Pretty uneventful.

When I got home was spending some time unwinding online before making dinner and straightening the house.  It was raining pretty hard and i was enjoying the sound of it on the roof.  Then the lights flickered.  Then flickered again.  Then they went out.  No power is not fun, especially when it's dark out!  I got some candles lit and then just sat.  No TV, no internet, no computer, no cook so no dinner.  Gr.  I was kinda tired so I decided to take a nap.  I slept from about 5:30 till 8.  By that time I was hungry and we still didn't have power.  After texting with The Man letting him know that there was still no power, I headed to McDonald's for dinner.  Not the same as the Chicken Parm I was going to make for dinner but at least they had power!

The best part of the day?  Pulling into the driveway about 3 minutes after The Man and realizing that we each bought each other something for Valentine's Day even though we said we wouldn't!  I didn't go crazy...he's been eating smarties a lot lately so I decided to enable him.  I bought him two bags as a way to show my love.  The Man got me flowers and candy.  Cliche, yes but I loved them just the same.  It was kinda hard to enjoy them in the dark but I could tell they were beautiful.  I cut off the bottoms and got them in a vase so I could enjoy them today.  I had to put them on top of my dresser otherwise Iggy mans would eat them...and he tried several times last night.

 We spent the little time we had together before bed getting a fire started and standing in front of it so we could heat up the house a bit before going to sleep.  Cause no power=no furnace. Not to worry, we were plenty warm!
