What to do without electricity

Just when you think that your plate is full, that nothing else crappy can happen to you.....just when you think that things HAVE to be looking up......does it?  Weeelllll.....NO!

                                                                         

OK - last couple of days of Spring Break - everyone is back at home and I do not have to be driving all over the state - Dennis is taking Lillianna to a scarrryy movie and I can settle down on a Saturday night and get caught up on school work and getting ready for the following week....and....

                                                                                    

the electricity goes out - ARG!

                                                               

I called the power company and they said that it would be back on by 3:30 pm the following day.....as I said before, when it rains, it pours!

                                                      

Spring Break

For once, I was not looking forward to Spring Break - my 84 year old mother was having total hip replacement on Tuesday.  I planned on staying the first night with her at the hospital in Huntington and then driving back and forth the rest of the week.  She did pretty well except that she has been sick to her stomach every day.  The Dr finally figured out that it was the pain medication that was making her sick - they tried different medicines but everything made her sick.  They finally figured out that she will just have to take Tylenol - that is a little medicine for a big operation....

It seems that it doesn't just rain, it pours....there are other things going on in my life that required that I drive back and forth to Beckley every day, too.  Sometimes there is just too much to take care of all at once :(

But, as always, I will make it through....
