No, the title of this post does not refer to feeling helpless and lost or at the mercy of someone else's whims (someone under 6 years old and weighing less than 40 pounds).
No, I literally lost power for 3 days this weekend ... no electricity .... no TV, no internet, no CD player or lamps. There was a BIG storm here on Thursday and the power went out around 5:30 p.m. We FINALLY got it back at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday.
We were very lucky -- no flooding in the basement. And we were able to save that expensive soy ice cream because my parents had (1) power and (2) a chest freezer in their basement, amongst lots of other food of course. But when my husband was packing up the coolers, I made sure to tell him "don't forget all the soy stuff, it is costly!"
So, now we have power and I can check email and blogs again. Hurrah!

I totally stock up on "allergy foods" when we think there's going to be a hurricane. I always panic and worry (we did go through 3 in 2004) because while we can scrounge around the house, he can't just eat anything.
Glad you got your power back!!
Good words.
