Oh girlll we did wonderful. I have 25 trees in my back yard and NOT ONE of them fell. My neighbors had some damage and we had a whole lot of trees down around us, but none in my yard. Of course I had this picture of angels with wings spread protecting my house through the night....that's all I can imagine because it was a miracle we didn't have any damage. I work near the airport so we had power back by that Monday at my office and my neighborhood is on the same grid as a water pumping station and we also had power by Monday at our home. We camped out for 4 days with neighbors, but it was nice not to have distractions for a few days. You realize when things are simple (without power) how much time is actually diverted to unimportant things when you have electricity. Every couple of years we seem to have a good storm roll through that knocks power out for a few days and brings us back to those simple times where the only thing to do to occupy the kids is spend time with neighbors and family and play board games.  It's a nice break. It's unfortunate though that many in our area were without power for 14-18 days. Simplicity has a whole new meaning when you can't wash clothes, cook a nice meal, or take warm baths for 2+ weeks. So it's for those people I had the most sympathy.

Yikity-yikes!!!
Had a peach for breakfast- gonna go have a shake now.
I'm gonna have to try the Fuze stuff- the lowcal one- sounds yummy.

No school today- home with the triplets- I've really gotten used to that 3 hour break.  When they're driving me crazy I'm going to take half a Zanax instead of eating carbs and chocolate.  Hope that doesn't sound as apthetic as I think it may- it's just you know- Mondday morning- I got stuff to do!!!  :)
Have a good one...
