Lemonade

Sometimes...
You just gotta shake your head
in defeat
and smile
and laugh
and think to yourself
"Yep, this would only happen to us..."

Like coming home from a cross-country flight
at 11pm at night
to a mile-long line of people waiting for a taxi
just like you
all cold, tired and hungry
all wanting to get to their nice, warm homes

Finally arriving home
to a 56 degree home
where you see your breath when you walk in
(mmmm nice and cozy)

try turning on the heater
try turning on the lights
...and they don't turn on
half of the house has no power
for no reason

Go light the candles!
Go grab extra blankets!
Get cozy!
...

And here I sit in 3 layers of clothing
laughing that I can see our breath
and can't feel my toes

Loving that my husband is so handy
and full of common sense
calling an electrician

Sometimes...
you just gotta make lemonade with those darn lemons

(Thank the good Lord above the coffee maker still has power...
or I can tell you one thing. There would definitely be no lemonade in this house)
