Wednesday we had an ice storm. We lost power for a couple of hours and it was fine. We got it back in a hurry so no problem. Thursday it warmed up and some ice started melting. Friday it was really warm and a lot of ice melted and there was wind. When ice falls off of power lines they bounce and if they bounce high enough they will hit the other wire that is up there also. If that happens then they break and people lose power. We just happen to be some of the lucky ones that lost power.
I called into the power company and they told me it would be 48-72 hours before we got our power back so I packed us up and told the hubby, "We are going to stay with your parents. Warn them that we are coming."
He didn't even argue and he stayed the night.
It was a night full of uncomfortable silences... awkward moments of them trying to interact with their grandson... horrible food... and a huge black lab that likes to lick...
Totally not my definition of fun.
Saturday I had to escape and went and got my hair cut. I have never driven so slow in my life!!
On my way back to their house the neighbor called and said that our power was back on. I have never been so thankful for anything in my whole life!!
