I am getting cranky

[sjh722]

It is 9:50 and we still have not eaten dinner.

My kitchen electricity and power has been killed since 6:15, when H started working on changing out receptacles on the outlets. Apparently the wiring is wonky, because everything is not turning off as it should with the breaker box.

This also means the water pump got turned off around 6:45.

Then he left for 1.5 hours to go on a fire call to search for a missing person.

Now he is back stomping around at the receptacles again.

DUDE, you do not leave a pregnant lady to wait for you for dinner, then not want to go get dinner because you are in the middle of a project, then have the fridge/stove/power all turned off.

I would go pick something up but since we live in a tiny town the restaurants are all closed, except the truck stop, and I don't think I'm desperate enough to eat at the truck stop or drive 15 miles up the road to the truck stop with an open McDonald's.

Not cool! I probably would have made a grocery store run by now for something instantly edible.

[sjh722]

Our grocery store closes at 9.

It's like living in the wild west!

[tarheels]

No! Dude, where do you live?! Even our Kroger and WM are 24 here! Poor, poor pregnant woman. DH is in trouble

[sjh722]

The closest WM is about 20-25 minutes away. And it smells like pot at 2:00 p.m. on a weekday so I'm not willing to try it at 10:30.

The only thing open 24 hours is a gas station where you can pay-at-the-pump (no convenience store), or the aforementioned truck stop out by the interstate.

I am only 25-30 minutes away from Costco, Target, 24 hour grocery stores etc, but where we live closes up at 9 or 10. IT SUCKS. And yes, DH is in big trouble. This was a bad idea. I don't care, at this point, that he doesn't think the refrigerator, stove, and 3 outlets should not be on the same circuit. If the house hasn't burned down from it in the past 40 years since it's been built, it's not going to happen in the next day.

Oh, and if I hear ONE MORE TIME to not touch live wires? I will shank someone. No, I saw those wires dangling out of an outlet and thought it would be a good idea to touch them. It's not?

Ugh I understand your pain! Hope you got something to eat.

WHAT?! How did your H not think to text his wife on his way home to see if you needed anything? He deserves a GBCN beating.

I volunteer myself. I'm not pregnant and my H knows better than to mess around with my food access.
