I wouldn't be able to take a day off work last minute like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wake-up-and-your-power-is-out#post-2084427 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 09:41:18 +0000 coopsmama 2084427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have rolled over and slept in during my kid free days. These days I have no choice but to be responsible. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wake-up-and-your-power-is-out#post-2084425 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 09:40:14 +0000 blackbird 2084425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Work? With heat and electricity? Yes please. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wake-up-and-your-power-is-out#post-2084419 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 09:34:04 +0000 Alivoo01 2084419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: Ditto! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wake-up-and-your-power-is-out#post-2084381 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 09:08:44 +0000 LuLu Mom 2084381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably email work and take the day off trying to get it fixed otherwise I would go about it as normal. If daycare had power I would send LO there so she wasn't stuck in a cold house with no lights! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wake-up-and-your-power-is-out#post-2084371 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 09:04:29 +0000 Mae 2084371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: exactly lol. </p> <p>This hasn't happened since LO was born and now it would not be a normal day because I wouldn't stay home all day with a baby and no power. We'd get up and get ready and go camp at a friend's house until it came back on. </p> <p>But if I had a job I would definitely go about my day because why would I want to stay home with no power? Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wake-up-and-your-power-is-out#post-2084368 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 09:02:29 +0000 petunia354 2084368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd go to work!! Who wants to stay home with no power? That's no fun!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wake-up-and-your-power-is-out#post-2084334 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 08:39:19 +0000 Shutterbug 2084334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd get up and go to work because it is 7 degrees out and I'd freeze my bum off if I stayed home with no power and no heat. I'd probably go to my parents' house to drop the dog off and shower there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wake-up-and-your-power-is-out#post-2084282 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 07:36:25 +0000 Ajsmommy 2084282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I told my DH we need a generator.<br /> @Foodnerd81: DD was kinda freaked out by the darkness until I showed her hand animals on the wall </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wake-up-and-your-power-is-out#post-2084280 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 07:33:41 +0000 Foodnerd81 2084280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If the power went out, C's soubd machine would go off and she would wake up immediately... So yeah, no sleeping in. I might try to convince her to snuggle in bed a while longer. I SAH, so my Dady starts when she wakes up. Dh would go to work in sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wake-up-and-your-power-is-out#post-2084276 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 07:31:14 +0000 looch 2084276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband would discover it before I would (he gets up earlier) and he'd go fire up the generator. Unless the power outage is coupled with extreme weather, a day off isn't an option, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wake-up-and-your-power-is-out#post-2084274 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 07:27:09 +0000 Ajsmommy 2084274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Woke up at 5 am and power was out. In my younger days this would have been an option 3 day :) But now in my more responsible days I got ready in the dark, got DD ready and I'm at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wake-up-and-your-power-is-out#post-2084273 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 07:23:06 +0000 Ajsmommy 2084273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you go about your day as regularly as possible? </p>
