Our power went out on Sunday night and didn't come on until 10 pm last night.

Being with out power for 28 hours makes you think deep thoughts...such as:

• Your kids in NO WAY understand the statement "We don't have power."
• The children will also act like you intentionally turned off the power just to ruin their day.
• When you tell your younger boy that we don't have any milk, it will be the end of the world as he knows it.
• Even though the power is out you still turn on the light switch when you walk into a room.
• Replacing the contents of your freezer for the second time in a year sounds so disheartening.
• Your kids don't normally eat a lot of ice cream. But when the power is out and the stuff is melting, it becomes a free-for-all.
• When you take your sheets off of the bed in the morning expecting to wash them when the power turns back on. It is humbling to put the dirty sheets back on the bed at 9 at night because the thought of folding more sheets than you have to sends you into a frenzy.
• You're glad that you prayed for patience today. At about 8 pm that prayer was running out.

Reasons I Love Blake On Tuesday:

• When Penny wakes up at night he always grabs her, changes her diaper and then hands her to me.
• When you ask him in the middle of the night to go upstairs and get you something such as a breast pump, or a q-tip, or a water he does it.
• When you are burping Penny and you are so tired that you start to fall asleep you pat him on the shoulder to tell him that you want to trade...he does.
• When telling him what you purchased with your allowance he listens, and knows what you are talking about. Then when you tell him that you can't make any guarantees about not going over he just says "All I ask is that you try."
