Well, we were out of power since Sunday night, now there is a lot of cleaning and catching up on stuff since it took the power company till Wednesday Evening to get the power on. The power company around here can make you so mad, I have been mad since Monday 5:00 pm. I will try to make this a short story, am laughing at myself now. David called around 10:00 Sunday night, to report that our power was out because of the snow storm, when he got to talk to an actual real person, that person said our power would be back on Monday at 5:00pm. Well, that person got our hopes up to have them crushed. We stayed home that night because the roads were a mess, and we have two little ones that needed to sleep. On Monday we kept warm by covering up and almost everyone laying on each other. I was a little impatient with the waiting, but David was waiting to see if the mail person could make it down to our house, once he seen the mail person we got in the car and went to Grandparent's Moss's house. Since we was told the power would be on it 5:00 we went to get some food, then we went back home to find the power still out and it was already past 5:00. Needless to say from that moment on we were told so many times that the power was going to be back on that I lost count. Time Wednesday came around I was ready to strangle someone it the power company, when I called them on Wednesday because they had it on the news that power in our area would be on by 5:00 pm, and my power was not I called them and had to hang up on them before I did not tell them so nicely where to go. (I was at my mom's to watch the news.) I even called the new station, they told me to wait till 6:30 pm and if the power company still did not have my power up to call the new station back. I had my mom come back to my house, so we could wait until 6:30 to see if any power was back on. My power was back on when I got home but they had only turned at on it 6:00 pm, not 5:00 pm.
Now if the power company would just have said that they did not know when our power was going to be back on I would have been alright. I just do not like it when someone gives you a time and does not do something by that time. Since, they kept giving us times when the power would be on, we lost a lot of food. If we were not giving times, we would have took our food to my parents so it would not have went bad. We even stayed at a hotel for one night, and the bad thing is the power company will want their payment but they will not reimburse us for our loss.
The power is back on but our faith in the power company to give us honest information is gone.
Hopefully, in another post I will get the pictures of the snow up.
