Tears for Fears

BA BA

Last night around six pm. we experienced the heavens opening up and pouring down on us, we had one horrific storm that shook my little Jilly beans existence. My little princesses are scheduled maybe to the point of insanity but it works for Mommy, well last night the power went out around 6:30. For a while it was party time with snacks , bath and flashlights, then 8pm rolled around and it was time for bed, Jilly bean was looking for her BA BA, a stinky little elephant that she sucks on to comfort herself to sleep, after an exhausting search we discovered he was outside in the downpour(crap***), no electricity, no dryer. Mommy tried bribing her with other cute cuddly animals no avail, she refused to sleep, the comfort bottle could not be given, no friggin microwave. By this time Mommy is beside herself, but darling dad gives her a flashlight that she could hold and she had to shake it to keep it lit, this amused her for a while, we ultimately heard little snores(ahhhh, yahoo). About 10 pm hubby and I retreated to bed for a good night sleep with the crank radio serenading us to slumber when all of a sudden a shrill shriek in the silence bolted us up like we had been tazered. After fumbling in the dark for a flashlight I ran to Jilly, well the screaming continued until 11;30, we tried everything, rockin' in the rockin' chair, a little Advil(yes, I resorted to drugs, call the damn CAS)and walking the halls.
At this point I thinking of hunting down the Hydro one guys and leaving them with my little bean when lo' and behold there was light, ya baby!
The first thing I ran to hubby threw that frickin' BA BA long and wide and he was already running down the kitchen, caught and dashed to the dryer. I with Jilly on hip run to the fridge grabbed bottle, used my mouth unscrewed top poured in milk and microwaved until warm. While guzzling I explained BA BA was in the dryer getting warm, she finished and then continued to scream , I have now pulled out the Advil for me. Twenty minutes the elephant is dry , she is in bed , night light is on and snoring is once again a welcomed white noise in small town Ontario.
Oh ya by the way, Princess Puddin' Pop slept soundly through the whole ordeal, unreal??
ZZZZZ...........
