Massive power outage of Summer 2012

This has been a very long week for us.  On Friday, (6/29) a bad storm called a Derecho came through and knocked out our power!  Well, today…supposedly the power is coming back on.  That’s almost exactly 1 VERY LONG WEEK LATER!  Daddy went crazy, bought a generator, hooked it up to the power line and did his very best to make it as comfortable as possible.  However, he couldn’t get the AC in there because it uses too much power.  So although eventually we had lights and fan…that did nothing to help with the 100+ degree temperatures.  We did the best we could to cope.  Riley and I slept at Wheelie’s and Susana’s.  We got a room air conditioner to atleast help 1 room(altho it really didn’t do much).  Daddy slept down in the basement but Mommy couldn’t take the bed.  I think we all need a vacation!
