Out of Power for three hours and I had no idea what to do

July 16, 2009 by MomStart 7 Comments

 

.

So the electricity went out last night at seven after I put the kids down to bed. I think there must have been a pop or something that scared my daughter because my bath was shortened to the sound of tears. I rushed to get out of my bed and went to console her. Her white noise was off. She went back to sleep after she calmed down and I went on a search for my cell phone. I am addicted to checking my e-mail. If I can’t do it on my computer then I check it on my cell.

I went from room to room and couldn’t find it. I looked for a flashlight because it was starting to get darker and darker. I could not find a flashlight. I was at a loss. What do I do with now power and no light. My husband was working late and tried to call me but you can’t answer the phone when you don’t hear it ring or have no idea where it is.

So, I went to bed.

Going to bed early never works, why, because I wake up at midnight and feel like I slept a full night’s sleep. Then two hours later, I’m exhausted. When I work up this morning I was so tired I had no idea how I was going to get through the day. Let, alone, I still had no idea where my cell phone was. The good news being that the power had been restored at midnight when I awoke. I e-mailed my husband and he came home from work to help me find my cell phone.

He found my cell phone in the van this morning before he went to work. All this being said, I don’t think I could survive without my technology. I’m getting a new phone from Microsoft and Sprint today. I’m going to be apart of a few moms that are testing the new HTC Snap. http://www.htc.com/uploadedImages/Common/Shared_Image/Gallery/HTC_Snap/large1.jpgI’m really excited about it, I just hope it has a homing device so I can find it every day. I invite you to follow my experience with my new phone and whenever you leave a comment on a post that has HTC Snap, it’s an entry to win one yourself. They are giving me one to giveaway too. So the secret word of the week is HTC Snap.

    Our power went out a few months ago for several hours, and it was shocking how lost we were! I would love to win the HTC.
