Baby when the lights go out

This is a blog post about the night the power went out in the  Morley home. It is not a blog post about how we spent the next seven hours playing games and laughing and learning that we don't need electricity to be happy. It is a blog post about the agony of trying to use the bathroom in  the dark and the growing fear that we might freeze to death and the good fortune of a fully charged ipad. It's a blog post about how silly my family members look while wearing headlamps, and how I instagrammed lit candles and how moods soured with depleting phone batteries. So I guess it's a blog post about how I should have learned a lesson about love and togetherness but really I was super relieved when the power came back on.

  1. Is the post title a reference to a song by 5ive? Either way, I feel just a tad embarrassed I thought it was...

  3. I totally thought so too. But I'm not embarrassed. I'm proud of my boy band heritage BOOYA

  4. Stumbled upon this one the night of the great Boston blizzard of 2013. It's perfect.

    Also, so is your daughter. Congrats on that :)
