• I woke up pretty early this morning when I heard Bentley bark. I didn't look at my clock, but I knew that it was still dark outside. I did know that it wasn't too much later when I woke up again when the lights went off. I did look at my clock this time, and it was near 6:30.
• Hearing Bentley bark plus the immediate silence with our fans off caused Marley to wake up. Robby turned on a white noise on his phone in hopes that Marley would go back to sleep. I'm not sure she really did go back to sleep, but she did at least only whimper every so often for the next hour and a half.
• With the power out, Robby wanted to shave so he headed to the camper to get things set up for him to shower there. I had washed my hair yesterday so I was good. I had worship care plus I had to get food to Pops (their fridge is out right now), so the girls and I left fairly early. Thankfully, the light did come back on a little bit before we did have to leave so I was able to at least look in the mirror to make sure that I didn't look too scary.
• Robby's car stopped at the doughnut store on the way to church. He said that he felt like he needed a little something to wake Whitman up. After church we hurried on to Nonna's house so we could watch the Hogs basketball game. We watched the beginning, ate, and then watched the end.
• When the game was over, the kids come home to do their chores (not of their own free will) while Robby and I went out to run some errands. Since we stayed longer at Nonna's house, we didn't make it home for a good bit. 
• When we came home, it was almost time for Campbell to leave for Rock Creek. I hurried her up telling her to leave earlier because it was about to storm. By the time she made it to the car, it had already started pouring and hailing. She came back in the house for about 3 minutes, and then the sun was practically out again and things were calm so she headed on. Once she made it safely there, we both napped for a little bit.
• Then we worked on supper for our Sunday night supper. We made sloppy joes which the kids have always abhorred-they have had them maybe twice when they were tiny so really, they don't even remember them. We like them though, plus we had chicken patties for them so no one went hungry tonight especially when we ended the meal with oreo delight.
