1. Pretend for the kids' sake that this is all perfectly normal and yes, Mommy loves using open flame candles in her children's immediate presence and my, aren't we having fun?
2. Cook all the stuff in the fridge that will go funny if you don't and have a smorgasbord. Having friends over for this is even better.
3. Clean up what you can, but remember, no one can see the dirt anyway.
4. Count how many clean pairs of pants the kids have handy and wonder what you can get them to wear twice.
5. Go to bed early, early and not feel guilty.
6. Don't bother calling CEI. They don't want to talk to you.
7. Keep the kids outside as much as possible. The fresh air will wear them out. Put them to bed early too. Remember, three year olds can't tell time.
8. Thank God this isn't happening in January.

LOL! I think you've got it down. :) I love reading about your experiences. You know, we should have a neighborhood support system of some sort, because we had power but weren't able to reach anyone without it. I realize phones aren't always operational in power outages... I am so glad you had "fun"!
