Not the Xmas I had hoped for

PsyDr04

DS has been super cranky, crying almost constantly and sleeping like st for the last few days. Thought it was teething pain but he appears to mainly have tummy troubles though he is teething I think. Now here it is Xmas night and me, DH, and DS are at my SIL's apartment one bedroom because we lost power about 4 hours ago at our house thanks to a winter storm that is rare to Arkansas. I'm sure one day I'll laugh about this but it won't be for awhile. Oh did I mention DS had to have tubes in Friday, his birthday is in 2 days and grandma may not make it in time because of the weather? This is just the icing on the cake of everything else that's gone on the last couple of months. Anyway, I guess I shouldn't complain at least we have somewhere to go.

I got so caught up in my rant I forgot to say Merry Christmas to you all!

Sorry to hear that things aren't going well. Hopefully things will get better by your LOs birthday.

Sorry that your xmas was so crappy!

Can you make the best of it and take LO out in the snow? It may make for some adorable pictures if the weather isn't totally yucky.

Hope your power is on soon!

It's way too cold to take him out even if we had proper outdoor snow attire which we don't. Plus there is at least 6 inches of snow. We tried going back to our house to get some things a couple of hours ago and couldn't get up the relatively small hill on the street next to ours. Had to turn back. Trees are down across roads, it's not good. Power may not be restored for a few days. Luckily my SIL never lost power at her apartment hope it stays that way so at least we have lights and heat. Just hope our kitty has not frozen!

Cats are resourceful. As long as you left food out, they should be fine. Maybe a little mad when you get back.

I hope you get back into your house soon. Stay safe!
