So.... Our electricity went off and I was unsure what was going on. I called the electric company and spoke with someone who told me that the smart meter on our house had sent a signal to the company and that there was a power outage. He then gave me a number to call and report the outage and to find out an estimated time for the power to be turned back on so I do this and the estimated time for power restoration is 2pm. Ok so here we go 2 little boys and myself in the dark for 2 and a half hours...sounds like fun right :-). Well eventually 2 o'clock comes and sure enough all of the lights come back on and we are officially back on the grid. Then comes a knock on the door and the man from the power company stands before me and announces that he has restored the power and then he proceeds to say " Your breaker on the outside was flipped and that is why the power was off" I did not know what to say, I had not even thought about checking the breaker box. I stammered out an apology for not checking it and then feebly announce that my husband is at work (yes apparently the only thing to pop out of my mouth is I can't flip the breaker back on with out the assistance of my husband) so the nice man from the power company then shows me how to flip the breaker back on and as I am continually apologizing for him having to come out for such a trivial problem he says no problem that's what we are here for. I am sure he will be telling this story when he gets back to work, home, etc... :-)
