The weather in the midwest is always unpredictable and this week is no different. Yesterday it was a nice 30+ degrees.. today, -15 with -50 wind chill. Of course, living in the midwest means your house is insulated differently, but as we learned this evening, it's always helpful to have heat for your house!
Our power went out around 4:50 pm and unfortunately our house only has electric heat. So, the boys and I hung out in the semi-dark until Ben and Serenity got home and then we all packed up and went out for a long dinner. Before we left, it was estimated that the power would be fixed by 9:30 pm. When we returned from dinner, about 7:50, it was estimated that the issue would be corrected by 10:30. UGG!!
After sitting in th warm van we opted to stay home until 11:00 and if the power wasn't on by then, we would go to a hotel. So, we made the kids wear two pair of jammies and we all camped out in the living room upstairs under piles of blankets. It was soo quiet since the boys were asleep most of the time and there were no noises in the house. About 9:10, the power came on and we moved the kids to their beds... the temp was 57 in the house... brr! My nose was so cold as I sat in the candlelight doing a crossword puzzle that it started to run. It will be so nice to go to bed in our own warm bed tonight.
