It was a longggg weekend. Between tornados sirens & funnel clouds….to Hurricane Helene doing a hard number on my southern Ohio city. And still being without power & it’s already been 3 days (right after a grocery trip), homecomings were cancelled. Soccer games & footballs games cancelled. To school being cancelled today bc they still have no power & no one around the school has power still today. Estimated restoration is tomorrow at 11pm. God willing at this point. DH had to go back to work this morning running on fumes. Thankful to have friends who share generators & being able to afford gas for a week of running one. But I’m not sleeping much. The kids aren’t sleeping well. It’s just frustrating & I just want a good nights sleep & a hot, home cooked meal.
I’m done ranting. Happy Monday!
I hate this for you 😔 I know how hard it is, we did 16 days no power after the freak tornado we had christmas day. I hope they restore it for you soon and I'm glad you're all safe! I've seen it on the news over here, it looks absolutely frightening
@love_linds we were lucky we lived in an awesome neighbourhood at the time.. we all helped each other out amd spent alot of time in the street set up drinking with the kids playing lol 😆 alcohol fixes everything!
One neighbour had a generator, we had hot water still somehow so we all pitched in together. Definitely made it easier to cope with.
It's the throwing out food and everything that's the horrible part. It was all our Christmas stuff too 😔
Oh my goodness, all the headlines are about other states, I had to dig to see stories about our own state. How miserable to spend 3 days, and I know that 11 pm feels like another 3 days away. Sending you lots of love, I know all you want to be is comfortable again.
I just want the kids to be rested & not so whiney. Bc I am also worn out & my patience is thin. Not with them, just with the situation. 🤦🏻♀️😅
Could have been much worse though, and I’m grateful it wasn’t. I’m just tired & felt like complaining to get it out of my system lol
At least our drought has ended…silver linings, right?
Nothing compared to your tornados out your way, but your girl is just exhausted over here lol. I’m trying to have more patience with the kids bc I know I need them to have more patience with me. But when they can’t even go outside to burn off energy, it makes it hard. Grateful to not of been in NC or somewhere else under water though & that we just got a tropical storm, not an actual hurricane hit.
@love_linds, it’s a rough situation for all of you and I hope you make it out with all of your hair 😆
I’m sure the kids are about to climb the walls with their pent up energy and I wish you the best on that. Maybe they need to make a big indoor fort or something to occupy them.
Me too!! Thank goodness it had finally cooled down though & having the windows open makes the house a perfect temperature.
Who would have thought that a three day break from cooking would make me miss cooking?! lol 😆
