powerless
/We've had two days of storms that left us in long stretches without electricity. Perfectly timed to disturb afternoon naps, keep my children up too late, and wake my children way too early. You'd probably think that someone like me would welcome the chance to rough-it, to get in touch with my inner pioneer. But this time, I just wasn't in the mood.
I think grumpy, tired, impossible children elevated my lack of patience. (Though I always think it is one of those which came first, the chicken or the egg? kinds of questions. Which came first the grumpy mama or the grumpy children?)
I tried to think of Melissa, who just went through six days without power. She says she's still recovering.
We lost a large branch from our Polonia tree and our Ash tree split in half, neatly falling between another large tree and an outbuilding. It was as if someone just laid it down between the two. For now, it makes for an amazing (tick infested) tree house. And in a few months, it will make for great firewood.
I'll be back tomorrow with another fun review and giveaway from Chronicle Books. In the meantime, I hope you'll take a moment to check out my new sponsors for July. There's some good stuff in that side bar!
