In the Dark on a Sunny Day

Woke up early this AM, like aro3:und 6 to find that I had missed a call from hubby at 3:57 AM. I was so upset that I slept through the phone ringing. Hubby left me a message saying someone's wife had hurt themself, the Grandma, and the kids in an accident cause she was texting and driving at the same time. He told me not to text and drive and to take care of myself and that he loved me. He did call me back later in the morning but I want every opportunity to speak with my love. He wouldn't tell me who the person was who had the accident. More secret squirrel...
We talked about Christmas gifts to possibly get the kids. Talked about the kids recent exploits. Talked about the weather, how much we missed each other and lots of little things. Just the sound of his voice... Ahhh...
I went to see Surrogates today. Had to get out of the house and away for a bit. It was ok. The power went out when I got home so we tried to open the windows but it started to get dark and hot... So we all went to the park. The captain's chicken I started this morning in the crockpot didnt get to finish cooking by the time everyone was hungry since no power, so we went to eat chinese food. I didn't want a hamburger at all, nothing "fast" food. I was in the mood for veggies and stuff. Since I couldn't have my captain's chicken, chinese food was awesome. And baby, if you are reading this, we got our names on the wall at the mongolian grill joint down the street. By the time we got home, the lights were back on. Gave kids a much needed bath and twins are down for the night. The rest of us are watching ET on cable. Family fun...
The weather here was beautiful today. Sunny. Not too hot, not too cold. Perfect weather. There was an ugly preying mantis on the car. I didn't realize they were in these parts. Bubba saw PacPac's gift outside an said "boo boo" so he learned a new word apparently. :)
All in all, except for the power outage, which was the whole culdesac as far as I know, it was a happy day.
