Lightning Does Strike Twice
My posting has been a little light lately. First, our computer broke. Then Sunday night, lightning struck the transformer in front of our house and the power company was in the street all night fixing it. By 4:30 am on Monday, we had power again. Then last night a spectacular thunderstorm blew through town and knocked the power out again - this time for 27,000 people.
Az and I took the girls out for breakfast, then to the park. We just got home and found our air conditioner back on (YAY!) and the fridge running again. We are relieved. Az is grumbling that we should buy a generator, but since we live in the middle of a large-ish city where power outages are rare, I think that’s silly.
Speaking of lightning striking the same place twice, I have another post up at 5 Minutes for Parenting. In it I dare to question the culture of constant parental affirmation, and end up feeling rather grateful for the heretical realism of my own parents.

I remember once, our power went out and the AC wouldn’t work, and I said, in all seriousness, to Larry, “I guess we’ll have to turn on the fan, then.”

Just read your Mommy Wars post over at 5 minutes for Parenting–great job! I really appreciate your sentiments–and it does amaze me that the debate continues amongst women over this topic.
Again, great post!
Blessings!
