Dentist and Cupcakes!!!
Today I went to the dentist to pay my bill and to pick up my bite guard to wear at night. I have problems with my jaw popping, so this is supposed to help, we will see. Right across the street from them is a Gigi's Cupcakes!!! So I had to go by there on my way home and grab some of them to bring home! At $3.00 a cupcake, they are good, and worth it, and they taste so much better than a Krisy Kreme donut. The icing on top of them is about 3 to 4 inches high, or more, it's insane, but oh my gosh, they are heaven!!! For today, for me, it was better than chocolate or sex, lol.
On the sides of the road though, on the way there and back, you could see just how high the lake was that it about 15 minutes from our house. It was awful. It covered the whole parking lot and area where people could let their boats into the water. There's an area there marked off for children and people to go into the water to play also, very nice in the warmer months here in Tennessee. But I guess because of all of the sewage, etc. in the water now, no one will be doing that at all this summer. The rain really hurt many people, their homes, and businesses here in Tennessee. So sad. Even the Opry Mills Mall had 5 feet or more of water inside of it. We have been to this mall several times. :( So sad that there might have been cupcakes, clothes, shoes, toys, etc. floating around in the water. I just can't believe that this mall will probably be closed all summer, if not longer. I hope that everyone can rebuild and afford to reopen.

This Morning, the power went out...
So about 8:30a.m., the power went out at our house for about 2 1/2 hours. So my husband jumps up and says, "Well, I'll go take a shower, take the trash to the dump, and then go to the Hallmark store to buy some Mother's Day cards." Ok, sure honey, and I will take care of both kids for the 2 hours that you were gone without any power in the house. So I did just that.
It was sort of like the airplane rides that we took the end of January to CA to see my parents for my mom's 55th birthday. I just came up with new things to do as soon as my 2 1/2 year old son got bored. We colored, sang and danced to music from my IPOD, thank goodness for them. I couldn't live without mine. He watched an episode of Oso from the Disney channel that I downloaded for him to have once in a while, such as the power going out. I fed him breakfast, and we played some more in his Cars tent and read some books to both kiddos. I am really glad that my 9 month old is so into crawling around and playing that to her, it doesn't matter if the power is on or not.
To me, I am happy without or without it. I have a stack of magazines to read and some books laying around that I will get to read someday. So it wasn't a big deal. I have 2 mp3 players, so listening to music is always fun, so is listening to the rain and thunder. :)
I hope that everyone who is dealing with these storms stays safe. We are under tornado watch and I am very scared. I am trying my best to be brave and I even cleaned out the closet just in case we all need to go in there. I am hoping that we won't, but living here in TN, you never know...
