Now, that I have spent the last 4 days with on again/ off again electricity, I have decided that slowly baking to death is not a good way to go. The inside of my house was literally 89 degrees at one point. I couldn't even have a cold glass of water from my fridge and every time I walked in to a room and tried to turn the light on, I became increasingly more upset. D works during the day and at nights, so I was also incredibly bored and the only thing I could do was play solitaire on my phone, but even that had to be rationed because I had no way of charging my phone if the battery died. It was like a mini natural disaster. Tuesday night, I decided to take the kids and go stay at my moms house and this decision was made just as the sun was going down. It was like I was packing up the house and leaving because of a flood or something.
I was like, "Move, move, move! Before it gets too dark outside! C'mon people! Let's go, go, go!"
We all lived, thank goodness, and I'm just so happy to be in my own house, AC cranked, TV on, time displayed on every digital clock in the house, surfing the web, and using every ounce of electricity I can. No, I'm only joking,... well, sorta. ;)
Another form of torture that I did not enjoy was not being able to do anything crafty. I have so many things on my list and absolutely zilch was created the past 4 days. (Sniffle)
Yesterday and today I did work on organizing my pictures, though. I bought this awesome Power Sort Box from Creative Memories and I transformed this:
Into this:
I organized everything by date and it makes me smile when I look at it. On the back of pictures I wrote the date, who is in the pix, and the event and I also put all the photo CD's, misc. memorabilia, greeting cards, and anything else all in this great sort box.
I know it's a bit late, but don't forget to link up to the Crazy Cute Link Party!

That electricity situation does not sound fun at all. That picture organization looks great though...I need to do that too.
