Do you go about your day as regularly as possible?
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
@looch: I told my DH we need a generator.
@Foodnerd81: DD was kinda freaked out by the darkness until I showed her hand animals on the wall -
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.
-
I'd go to work!! Who wants to stay home with no power? That's no fun!!
-
@petunia354: exactly lol.
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.
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
-
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!
-
@LuLu Mom: Ditto!
-
Work? With heat and electricity? Yes please.
-
I would have rolled over and slept in during my kid free days. These days I have no choice but to be responsible.
-
Life goes on, even when the power is out! I wouldn't be able to take a day off work last minute like that.
-
Such good responsible women on here!
Years ago I seriously would have used it as an excuse to not go into work.
But now in my more responsible days I got ready in the dark, got DD ready and I'm at work.
