Blackout

Sunday morning at 1:30am the power went out. I know because Aaron was still up! I was woken up from my slumber by crying and it took me some time to figure that out and get up. I found Karen on the floor in the pitch darkness. After I dealt with her Aaron showed up. (Why couldn't he come to her since he was still up?) I think he was turning off the computers... So, on Sunday morning there was still no power. It was very cloudy, so also very dark in the house. The kids were slow to rouse. Aaron used the lack of power as an excuse to stay in bed. Then he got up and refused to shower by candlelight as I did. He also told the kids they didn't need to hurry and eat or dress. The power came on at 10 to 9am. I hurried the kids and left Aaron in the shower. We got to church 10 minutes late. He made it in time for Sacrament meeting! He had to shave and iron his shirt. It takes 45 minutes to iron his shirts... So, hopefully he has learned to prepare and to have faith! Probably not.

I should probably mention it is my birthday today. Aaron gave me a card that said "Let's eat out." I hadn't made dinner, so that sounded good. But he told the waitress that it was my birthday. Just as I thought we were preparing to leave I got a sombrero on my head!!! I've got to get him on his next birthday. I feel old to have hit the big 3 0. My grandma and parents gave me twice the usual birthday gift and we are not in dire need of money this year. So, now I get to have fun thinking of 100 ways to spend money on myself. Still, I keep thinking about car seats...
