And guess what? It’s raining.

By Moriah on October 27th, 2009

My mom comes in tonight. Just in the nick of time, if you ask me. Tomorrow will be spent doing baby laundry, hunting down the infant seat, and packing my hospital bag. (No, I have not done that yet. Thanks for asking.)

(And if my water were to break tonight, I’d be in a wee bit o’ trouble. Because today I plan to spend on the couch, reading and folding the regular laundry that miraculously got washed yesterday.)

In a not-so-comical turn of events (as if we didn’t have enough going on), a man in a white truck pulled into our driveway and proceeded to turn off our electricity this morning.

!!!

At the time I had tried several times to pay the bill online and the company’s website had been down. No, paying over the phone never crossed my mind. (My brain? Have you seen it?) Then our transmission died and I forgot all about teeny things like electric bills.

So yeah, we’re currently waiting for them to come TURN IT BACK ON ALREADY. I had to boil water in a pot on the stove (thank heaven for gas and matches) to have a cup of tea since our normal kettle is electric.

And the food in the fridge? Just crossing my fingers it stays cold. Also? DON’T OPEN THE FREEZER.

***Edited to add: we’re back with modern times now. Yay.

    When is your due date?? I can’t believe you don’t have electricity! Hang in there or just go visit somebody with electricity. And, I love the skirts you made your girls.

    Glad your mom is coming today as opposed to tomorrow since a “significant” winter storm is on the way.

    What’s the status on your van?

    I am sorry to hear about the electricity, especially now that you will be having a new baby any time soon. Do you have an option of having the money deducted directly from your checking account without having to go anywhere or call them? It literally is a life saver for us! I don’t think we would have electricity/gas/water you name it if it wasn’t for that
