38 hours later!!!

The second day without power. I had to clean up all the fridge and freezer, most of the stuff in the refridgerator are all to be thrown. Some stuff in the freezer needed to be thrown. Ammar bought gallons of water, so I tried to clean up our body just like an old style, with soap and towel with just a basin of water. Everyone in the family is depressed. Feeling not clean as usual, of course, that's made the thing even worse. We don't have the emergency old style phone, so we don't have phone line, our batteries on the cell phone are nearly dead. Ammar had to bring the charger to the office and charge his battery there, while mommy went to Nadia's school to charge the battery and made a phone call to the doctor's office for her first nurse phone appointment which they would call mommy home to ask all the questions about the health history and give some instructions about pregnancy. Since we don't have phone, I ended up going to the health center and have a personal interview. It works out... the second child due date is 2/26/2007.
Came back home at around 1 pm, still don't have power.. it's upsetting. Called the electric company, they didn't even know when the light will be back on. So after cleaning up all the fridge and freezer (oh yes, the ice in the freezer is melting, so our hard wood floor is soaked with water, and some of the stain is peeling...argh!@!!!!!), definitely will claim the damage to the insurance.!!!!
Went to Nadia's school and picked her up, the school actually has the gym and the full bathroom, the director's husband, Tom, he offers us to use the bathroom for us to clean ourselves good. We went home, and guess what !!! We have light on again. YAY!!!!
Ammar got home and the electric company called back, telling us that the supervisor still don't know when the light will be on, maybe another 2 hours, and guess what!!! at that time, the power went back on and they didn't even know about it!!! Gee!!!, not even waiting to have dinner first, Ammar went straight to have shower... hahahahah
Mommy and Nadia had shower after ward... wow... cleaning your self with a basin of water and taking a real shower, what a big difference, even Nadia got so happy afterwards, she drank 1.5 glass of chocolate milk.
We went to Meijer to get some milk, and half and half. Nadia enjoyed riding on the horsey and the dinosaurus with just penny for a ride while Daddy buy some stuff.
The house needs serious cleaning.... but we are happy that the power is back on.... exactly after 38 hours.
