ROAD RAGE

Last night we were hit with a HUGE storm....HUGE! So today, we wake up (with 10 mins to get out the door) and there is NO power! so there were no alarm clocks. no lights, no electric shaver, no microwave for a bottle, oh, and NO hot water for quick showers! so we all get ready as fast as we can, with what we have. well christian does. i opt to stay in jammies with the kids until we get back, hoping for electicity and water once we are home. what a pain it is to have one car! so we take christian to work (he LOVES his new job,btw) usually takes about 15 minutes to get there. it took an hour! in case you dont already know this, i am one of those people who cannot have any type of bumper sticker on my car proclaiming my faith in God because of my "behavior" in traffic. ok, its not that bad, but....people cant drive. i am forced to think i am the only one who should even have a drivers license and its expired! it wasnt even traffic, all the street lights were out from the power lines down. but it made me think of the last time i was in traffic, and some guy cut me off, i yelled and the boys say "mom, why are you yelling?....he cant even hear you!" i laughed, and then lectured them that its not nice to do that and that mommy shouldnt have done that. its a bad habit i really need to learn to control. or my children might turn into one of those people you see on the news pulling some guy out of his car in the middle of an intersection because he didnt use his blinker!

needless to say, we came home to power! yeah! got the kids ready and ran off to school. and we still made the carpool on time. what a morning! the day has somehow mananged to stay at that pace, i just have a minute while grace is taking a nap thats way too late, and im sure i will regret it, but the girl is sick, and needs it bad!....is it bad to say that i need it too??? anyway. there you have it. gotta get back to the boys!
