I wanted to share with you all the latest trend -- yes, that is carrying your house key with you at ALL times. The short story goes like this... I went out one afternoon quickly to run a couple errands and didn't bring "the works" diaper bag. I only had bare essentials, and really not even that. I had even done the once monthly entire diaper bag clean out earlier that day because my diaper bag had accumulated so much stuff I could hardly manage it anymore. Anyway, I came home to find that the power was out which then meant my garage door opener wasn't going to work. The first problem was that I didn't have my house key with me! The second, and most important, problem was that Jeremy was out of town for the next couple of days! Aghhh! I decided to go to a friend's house (with power) to hang for a while in the hopes that the power would be restored soon. At 9:30pm the power was still not on and my kids were crazy tired so we decided to hunker down for the night. The only other problem was that I didn't have enough diapers, wipes, clothes, or even a bottle with me. I ran to another friend's house to get these supplies and came back to settle in for some good old 'Pride and Prejudice'. That movie can really turn a day around, can't it?! The power was restored sometime in the middle of the night and all was well in the end, but I have learned a very important lesson -- always carry your house key with you!!!
(Thanks to Christie for all that you did and for letting us crash your birthday party and thanks to April for all your essential supplies! You guys are awesome!)
