Oh the joys of old houses!

So, last night for dinner the kids and I decided to have some waffles and bacon. I know, healthy and well-balanced. Anyways, I started cooking the bacon on my griddle, and plugged in the waffle iron to preheat. The bacon started getting all translucenty and I put in the first waffle. Of course, the twins were screaming, because we had been at the park too long and they were beyond hungry, and Olivia was insisting that she stir the waffle batter, and spray the waffle iron EVERY time. So, moving right along, and I look down to see the lights OFF on both the griddle and the iron! Oh no! So, I move them both over to the ONLY other outlet (out of five) that works in our kitchen. Yea!!! The lights both came on and we were back in business. I get the kids in their highchairs, and get them their milk to tie them over, and go back to check on things, and guess what? The lights are OUT again! And, the fridge light is out, too. So, I am not an electrician, but I do know where the electrical box thingy is and I got an idea, I ran down to flip the breaker to off then back to on. Yea! Lights again, but I figured I was overloading the system, so I made Olivia my pastry chef and put her in charge of cooking the waffles in the BATHROOM!!! It was a pretty funny sight, this bathroom cooking, but we got our waffles and bacon and ate them too! And, Jon was out of town and missed the whole show!
