What's An Ice Storm?

I don't know what happened, but Mom and Dad have been home for TWO DAYS! Normally I think that's pretty great for them to be home with me, but it wasn't this time. We couldn't go outside to play because the weather was really weird. It was really wet and cold outside, and the grass was sharp to walk on like glass. It hurt my feet! I had to tiptoe to go potty, and my poo poos were frozen solid! The trees in the backyard were totally covered in ice, and across the ground.

Then everything went dark. We couldn't watch TV, and Mom and Dad didn't turn on the lights! They also didn't turn on the heater. We only had the fireplace to keep us warm, and they lit candles for light. I couldn't see the food they ate to steal it. I was so tired from just being nervous because Mom and Dad seemed nervous and so cold, that I let Mom wrap me up on the couch, and I slept on her chest for a while.

Then Mom and Dad said, "Let''s go to bed, Lucy!" I was ready to go to bed and jumped right into the bed when they opened the door to the bedroom, but they said we weren't sleeping there last night. Instead, we went upstairs and slept on the guest bed! I don't know what that was about at all. It's all been very confusing.

Today, the sun was shining and there were some strange noises of stuff falling off the house that scared me. It was louder than when the branches would fall from trees yesterday. It was altogether not fun at all. Dad asked me if I was having fun this morning, and I just looked at him to let him know that I was not.

Tonight the lights and the TV came back on, and Mom and Dad seemed really happy. I was really happy too because things are normal.
