Came home Monday and we still don't have power. We don't have family in the area. It is a lot to ask friends to take in 3 toddlers, two dogs, one adult and a hormonal mother so we have split up. Family went one way while the baby, who is delicious and sweet, and I are camped out at another friend's house. I love my friend. She has been so great. My DH is goon to bring the kids over to visit and do some fireworks. Then I will see them tomorrow?

OP here: Thanks for sharing your story! It's much better perspective than people who are not in the same boat telling me to "be thankful." Glad to hear you are weathering it and so sorry you have to be split up from your family right now. Best wishes for a return of your electricity...

Best advice is start planning now for a winter outage. Where can you take an infant to stay warm? Etc...
