Yup, I'm such a big girl. Today M had to go into the office because his boss is in town from California. That resulted in two things: First, my barrista was not here to make me coffee and second, I had to figure things out when the power went out. The first issue was not a problem. I can make my own coffee, it's just nice when I make breakfast and he makes the coffee. Total teamwork. The second issue was more of an adventure.
Just as I was getting the boys dressed to take Z to school our security system started beeping. I realized the power was out but didn't put two and two together. We had our shoes on and were just about to head out the door when it hit me. You can't get out of the garage with the garage door opener when the power goes out. Heelllooo! So we wait. And we wait. 30 minutes into it I was determined to get Z to school and on to HEB. So I yanked the red cord and pulled the garage door up. A little voice said, "Woooww!! Mama, you have big muscles!!" Then we hit another snag. My house key was with our favorite dog sitters/babysitters/friends. So we ran over to their house to get the key. On the way we saw 6 electric trucks parked in a cluster and 4 guys sitting on the rock wall. I wanted to shake my fist and yell, "Get to work!! You're throwing a kink in my day!" We got the key, came home to lock the house and the power was back on. All in a day's work...
I learned a lot today: How to get out of the house when the electricity goes out; I need to make another house key; electric men don't work very hard - they just like to mess with people; and most importantly....I have big muscles.
