I could be grumpy

We haven't had power since yesterday morning at 4am. I am actually ok with that, if I didn't have to go to work. This morning we tried to herd 22 pigs down to their new home and it was actually funny. I had to leave in the middle of the literal chaos that was ensuing. I was an hour and a half late to work. Having no power has really not inconvenienced us that much, we have a spare kerosene heater that helps and last night I came home to a nice venison, cabbage, (which I am really getting to like now...shhh don't tell Stephanie)and broccoli stir fry. The kids slept in front of the fire and Steph and I used a couple more blankets and we did fine. I did get up early (4am) and try and start a fire. Then gave up and told Stephanie to start it. I can't seem for the life of me to start fires without my torch...

I have been in the office all week because of all the schools out. I may be back in business next week.

The pig barn is officially in use now. Flame will have her litter in less than 3 days I predict. charcoal will not be far behind. I would post pictures but we have no power at home where they are stored in our computer.

I will keep you up to date on the power. Linda (MIL, works for AEP) says we wight be getting it later tonight. Lets hope so.

Here is a funny bit from John Stewart. He makes fun of George W. (but when doesn't he when given the chance.)But he also makes fun of President O....

I never thought of cheese that way before, but they're all kind of cheesy aren't they? LOL

Hope your power is back on soon.
