Stupid weather!

Sunday night we got a snowstorm with high winds and lost power at about 9:30am Monday morning. We waited and waited for it to come back on, but decided if it wasn't on by the time Kaylee woke up from her nap, we'd head over to my ILs house since they had power. We got over there around 3:30 and after having supper (McD's thanks to Barry's uncle who was visiting from Ottawa) I called some of our neighbors to see if the power was on yet but no one would answer their phone. Barry got frustrated so he and my FIL drove to the house 15 minutes away to see if the power was on and it was, so they drove back and Barry, Kaylee and I drove home. Kristen decided to stay the night there anyway. Turns out the power only came on right before Barry went over to check, so if he had've gotten there any earlier, he would've seen we didn't have power and would've stayed overnight at the ILs...that wouldn't be fun. LOL Anyway, the winds were strong until early afternoon so the power company couldn't start trying to fix things until then. Over 30,000 customers in Nova Scotia were without power. Good thing their website was wrong on their estimation as to when our area would be fixed - tonight at 11:30pm! The winds gusted to hurricane force at times - 120km/h, I could feel the house shaking - and knocked down a big tree in my neighbors back yard. I was so sad when I saw that as it had been there a long time and was so pretty in the summer with all the leaves on it and birds having nests in there. :(

And now we're supposed to get a storm on Christmas Eve too...wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have plans to go somewhere both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! Stupid weather! :(

I have only done one layout since the last time I blogged...no excuses, besides being addicted to the games on Webkinz.com so I can buy more furniture and stuff for my pets rooms. LOL
