Last night, I woke up at about 1:30am because I heard the water in the trailer thaw out and start running again. I never really fell back asleep as I anxiously tossed and turned thinking about the house and listened to a mix of rain and snow hit the trailer. The kids woke up early and I was exhausted, but there is a certain mentality of sprinting to the finish right now that has us on auto-pilot.
I blew the GFCI with the toaster making breakfast. Right before nap time, it happened again, but this time the reset didn’t work. After some exploration, it turns out the fence guys hit our power line earlier in the week, but it probably didn’t become an issue until the weather hit today. Our power wasn’t coming back on and we aren’t sure exactly how long the batteries will last.
New plan, we are all asleep in one bedroom of the new house. Not exactly how I envisioned our first night, but I love this little family of mine. We contemplated our options of packing up and going to a hotel or Mike’s parents, but the thought of packing up the kids to unpack then repack and unpack was just too much.
After living in a trailer for 7 months, we’ll make this work for a week!
Darwin says he loves the new house. Trixie is exhausted and already asleep in her pack n play.
