this is not a joke people.

Dr.'s appointment for me this morning
I had to fast and I had to be there early. I was, the doctor was not.
Hmmm...

Home to a 50 degree, and dropping, house.
Power had been out overnight and because so many people are without power, we have no idea when it will come back on.
(Seriously, McDonald's wasn't open because they had no power...MC DONALD'S!?)

car loaded for six people for unknown amount of days
toys and school packed,
clothes packed,
sleeping bags dug out of basement and packed,
pillows, books, toiletries....
you get the picture.

Eat lunch, wipe the table, do a few more shovels full of snow,
COATS ON and car warmed up.

And THAT is when our power came back on.

right.

On to Plan C for the day.

Plan A included a 'day out' for me.
Jake was taking the day off, I had a Dr's appointment and then a hair appointment, I was going grocery shopping by my lonesome.  :-(
Scratch most of that (all the fun parts of it anyway)

Plan B was to go to friends house to thaw out.
Scratch that.

Plan C....I'll be back with pictures for Plan C.

Wow, and I thought my day was crazy! You win! Sorrry about all the snow and cold and no power! I'm glad it came back on. I guess I shouldn't tell you that we had n unseasonably warm-spring like day here. It was strange for January. Hope to hear some fun news from you about the weekend and "plan C". Hugs!
