Tonight the electricity went out for a few hours.  You would think something tragic really happened. 

All I know is that the house went black.  The lights flickered about 4 or 5 times and there was an erie silence…until the lights stop flickering and everything was blacked out again.  Aryanna was in the shower.  I was in her bedroom right next to her bathroom.  Jordyn was in the living room by himself watching T.V. and Patrick was in the office working furiously on a project…so furiously that he hasn’t come out of the office since he woke up except to eat and pee.

Back to the lights going out.  It goes pitch black in the house.  All at once Aryanna squealed screeched screamed and Jordyn yelled, “MOOOOOOOOOOM!!” as if I’m the one that shut the lights out.  Patrick was quiet until 30 minutes passed and he still couldn’t work.  Then it was, “I can’t believe the lights are out.” or “I wonder what happened.” or “Why are the lights stillllll out?”. 

I helped Aryanna out of the shower.  Everyone frantically looked for candles to light.  I think my husband wouldn’t have made it through the pioneer era unless he had a mobile battery and a laptop he could access.

It happened right at bedtime but the kids were too excited to go to sleep so we wound up playing cards and hanging out for a little bit until they were calm.  Then it was off to bed.

How eventful, huh?
