of course it sucked not having power, air, refrigeration etc for so long......BUT
I have to say that it MADE me slow down and do some things that we're long over due!!!
I had no cell phone, no fax, no e-mail, no home phone so I spent some much needed time catching up on stuff around the house.......
I played card games & board games with my kids by candlelight, we went for a bike ride, we did yard work. My 17 yr old couldn't watch MTV or talk on MSN so she had to spend time w/ me...she talked my ear off all nite
I cleaned off my desk and organized my briefcase & I packed for the week (I'm leaving tomorrow for vacation)
the best moment was watching my two younger daughter's sit on the love seat & play electronic battleship by candlelight ( that games makes noises and has lights which was cool in the dark) and then my older daughter wanted to play Trouble and we couldn't find all of the parts so we used candy.
You have to picture us playing Trouble w/ Banana & Lime Runts as our tokens....it's was priceless and we laughed out butts off the whole time!!!
