Because God reads my blog....

He blessed me with a day off!

Last night around 9:40, our power went out. It did not come back on until 3:40 this afternoon. The power was also out at school, so it was canceled meaning no rushing around to get ready (although if Uncle E hadn't called & told me school was out, we'd have been there early), no Spring Musical, no planned events. Instead I got to load up all our food in coolers & take it to Busha & Bucka's to stash in their fridge (thank you, Lord for grandparents with an extra fridge!!). They were one of the lucky homes to have their power come back on at 4:30 this morning.

So the day was spent cutting up magazines to make collages, teaching BabyGirl to make paper beads, reading, lounging about, breaking up the occasional argument, and washing dishes while Bitsy dried.

I needed a down day. This wasn't what I had in mind, but it sure fit the bill.

Glad you all are OK! We had another whopper of a storm last night, and it was only God's grace that kept our power from going out.

So glad that the Grand's are close enough to allow you cart everything over and keep it safely chilled for you all!

Hoping that Thursday treats you well...

Love me a surprise day of nothing. It stormed here on... crud, I have no idea, we'll just say a few days ago. So anyway, we decided to just do nothing and enjoy the rain. It was heavenly!
