On Friday most of base housing had a scheduled power outage from 1230pm-830pm. Yes, for 8 hrs we were without power. I did find some things to be grateful for despite this power outage:
1. That the weather was overcast and not sunny and in the 90s like it was the week before. Our house didn't get unbearably hot which was nice.
2. We spent part of the time at Kayla's IEP meeting so at least that kept us busy and gave us something to do! When we came back it was almost time for Kayla's nap so she slept most of the afternoon.
3. Because I couldn't get on the computer and blog I was able to catch up on reading some of my magazines; and then I took a short nap myself!
4. I'm grateful this happened at this time of the year and not during the winter so it was lighter out later in the evening.
5. The community center wasn't affected so Joe was able to take Kayla to Oasis Pizza for dinner and then go to the Kid Zone so she could play for awhile.
6. "New" housing on base wasn't affected so we were able to move Bunco to someones house over there and still play on Friday night (which was nice because we already had to postpone it earlier for the exercise.)
As for the rest of the week:
7. I'm grateful Joe had a nice birthday on Wednesday! He was able to get a new bike seat he's been wanting. I made him a nice breakfast of scrambled eggs with ham and cheese and hasbrowns. Kayla doesn't have school on Wednesdays so we surprised him at work with a balloon bouquet and took him out to lunch.
8. Grateful that Kayla's IEP went so well and she has a great team of teachers and therapists working with her. They really tune in to her strengths and weaknesses and they all seem to just adore her.
9. On Saturday the spouse's group had a fundraiser both in town at Saturday in the Park. I'm glad it wasn't too hot for the 4.5 hrs I was there and also grateful we were able to raise some funds.
Hope everyone had a nice weekend!
