Staycation @ Mom's!

Thursday night, we loaded up the car with everything we had in the master that we were using at the time, and headed to my parents. When we got there, we got the kids and blankets in the house and then I got the food in the refrigerator and freezer.

When we finally settles down, it was almost and an hour and a half later. I played candy crush for my mom, while the girls ate supper. I was already stressed to the max and didn't want to do anything else. We got the kids to sleep, and I didn't fall asleep until 3am, because my mind was going stir crazy and wondering if my power was back on yet.

Friday morning, Cayce went to the bank and did some running around before he had to go to work at 1pm. That morning, I was bored out of my mind and wanted to go home. I did watch some Ghost Adventures with the kids and got some laughs out of my mom and grandma. When Cayce got off work, we headed to the house to get some clean clothes because we were looking at Wednesday till the power got turned back on. Right when we walked into the door, I broke down crying. It was dark and cold, and I hated being there without the kids. The girls got much needed baths that night and they slept GREAT! After, Cayce and I took ours, Addy started crying and my dad was going to go ballistic if we left with her still crying, so she took a trip to Walmart with us. We did a little grocery shopping and we got 3 more candles.

Saturday morning, my dad told us about the earthquake that happened at 10:23. Cayce and I didn't feel it in Orangeburg, but it shook my parent's house and woke the girls up. Thank goodness it wasn't serious and didn't cause damage. Cayce had to do some work for his boss around his house and work, picking up fallen tree limbs and branches. He had to work at bi-rite. At 10am, my grandma called my mom and we HAD OUR POWER BACK ON! I was excited. My parents had to do some errands and while they were gone, I got all of our stuff ready to take home.

My parents helped get everything home and when I walked into the house, and flipped the living room switch and the light came on, I was giddy and jumping up and down. It was a great feeling to be back home. I got the girls situated and Addy was a good baby because she was starting to get sick.

I got some lunch made and the girls down for naps and I had a ghost adventures marathon to get too. Cayce worked till 10pm and he went to sonic and got us some food. After I ate and the new episode of ghost adventures, I went out like a light. I never want another day like Saturday.

3 and 1/2 days with no power, sleeping on parents couch, moving things back and forth between houses and Adalyn getting sick wore me out and big stress load.
