I am extremely weary this afternoon. It was a very rough night. It started off with the absolute inability to fall asleep. I lay there watching the time move steadily onward and calculated ok if I fall asleep now that’s still 5 hours of sleep I will be ok. This continued for a while and then I finally fell asleep only to awaken up some time later and noticed the house was really dark and really quite, which is not a good thing when you live in Arizona and you need the air or at least the ceiling fan on in order to sleep comfortably. The power was off and I had no idea what time it was. I woke up my husband and told him the power was off and I don’t have any idea what time it is. He says” no problem we can fins the time from his cell phone” so I reach into my night stand drawer to get the flashlight I keep there so we can find his cell phone. Only the flashlight is gone, my lovely daughter was playing with it to make a light show in her room and naturally she did not put it back. Somehow my husband finds his cell phone in the dark and we find out it was 3:50 so Duane decides to shower and go to work early very early. After taking his shower by flashlight he leaves with the promise he will call at 6:30 to wake us up in time to get to school and work. Only the power came back at 4:40 which woke me up and then his alarm cloak went off at 4:50 which woke me up and then again ten minutes latter when the snooze alarm went off. And then finally I woke up at 6:00 are figured I might as well get up. I’m very weary.

Maybe they're just typos, but thought you might want to fix them since it's such a good blog.
quite = quiet
fins = find
You really were weary. ;)
