Waiting

I'm sitting here typing with my winter coat on and my houseslippers. The house is at a rockin 61 degrees!!! We have taken the girls to grandma's so that they can be warm until the house gets warmer or until we get this fixed.
Josh called the power company and they say they will be out today--crossing our fingers. They will check out what is theirs and see if that is the issue. If not, then it is something of ours--which Josh thinks it is this one portion in the disconnect box. They say we will have to call an electrician. We'll see what happens. For now, the fridge is plugged in through an extension cord into the living room. We are back to that main problem of the furnace not being on when it should be due to the "half-black outs".
We may have a "White Christmas" due to the snow coming down today. I think it's pretty safe to say that it will stay around through Christmas with as cold as it has been. I think it is only in the teens today. It is truly beautiful--just not so fun to drive around. I was driving down a street here in town this afternoon on the way to taking the girls to grandmas going 25 mph (being cautious as it is snowing)--a car came around and passed me. This isn't a "passing" kind of street. The speed limit is only 30 to begin with--and I've never seen anyone "Pass" people on this street. Well, it happened to me today! I'm sure the extra 5 mph got them to their destination so much quicker with all of the snow and the traffic crawling everywhere else--haha!
