Still out of power

Well I was hoping to get back to normal life by now and not living out of bags with 2 kiddies but that is not the case :( Connecticut Light & Power has made a promise to get the 99% of the people without power back restored by tonight at midnight. Adam and I just praying we are not part of that 1% at this point! ugh....Thankfully, our friends not too far from our house got power back late in the evening on Wed. night so after 4 nights camping in our living room and living with sponge baths and cooking on a camping stove we moved in with them for a few nights. Then during that time Adam's parents who also live really close to us got power back too so we have been living here since Friday night. Living out of bags is getting really old! But we are safe, warm and have hot showers things could always be worse. The overnight lows are getting very cold here in CT so this beats trying to stay warm in our living room sleeping on the couches near the wood stove that Adam would have to keep going throughout the night.

I guess you could say we have made the best of it, this week was very hectic with work and dragging ourselves all around but by Saturday I decided to go with Adam's mom to Stew Leonard's with the boys and that was really fun. Stew Leonard's is a grocery story but very entertaining for kids so they loved it and it was Bo's very first time sitting in the front of the shopping cart, he did really well! He was a complete ham, every time he saw people looking at him he started flirting! Just too cute.

I would love to post the pics I have that I have been meaning to post but since I am at my in-laws and they just got their Internet back I am just happy to be able to post anything! When I get back to normal life I will have some cute pics of the boys to share.

Oh one good thing - my gym got power back late Friday night, I am going today for a much needed workout, I am out 8 days now with absolutely no working out. Couldn't even fit in a run when I did get to our friends house with power Thurs. & Friday. It has just been so hectic, I don't do well when my life is all over the place.

So after the 5lbs I feel like I have gained this week with eating crap and on the go, today's workout I am sure won't feel like the best but I have to get back at it!
