Always when I'm alone

I wasn't going to post today, but after the day I've had I couldn't resist. The day isn't even over yet, but it's been so chock-full o' fun!

Husband is working this weekend, which means it's just me and the younglings. No big deal there. The day was going along smoothly until just after lunch, when we heard "tap tap tap tappity tappity" and couldn't figure out what it was. The wind has been a-blowin' all day, and apparently loosened a piece of siding on the house. I called Husband to report that, and also to ask if there was anything I had to do in case the generator kicked on. (Rural electric is prone to going out in windstorms.) Basically, I would have to do nothing.

Okay, Son and Daughter are both taking naps because they're both sick, so I'm watching Down with Love on A&E. Yes, it's a completely ridiculously idiotic movie, but the delicious Ewan "swooner dreamboat" McGregor is in it, so I put the TV on mute and drooled over that sweet Scottish piece of ass....

...

Oh! Yeah! Okay! So, guess what happens? The generator kicked on...and the electricity hadn't gone out. Damn damn damn. I call Husband again, he has to call me back, but the generator does a weekly test, it seems. Yeah, okay, it scared the poopy out of me, but it eventually shut off and now all is well.

On a side note, after I closed out my ebay account (damn spam e-mails) I shot over to Kos to see what the monkeys are chattering about. Nothing has changed over there, they're still living in that sparkly rainbow world, riding their pink unicorns and singing "Give Peace a Chance." Kumbaya, I guess. *gag*

Anyway...so much for taking the day off from la blog.
