Not too much information to go on, but it is possible that you have a loose
or broken wire somewhere on the line. Start at the electrical panel and
tighten all connections on the circuit breakers and the neutral bar. While
you are in there check to see that you are actually getting "Juice" off of
each circuit breaker.

If that doesn't resolve the problem, the next step would be to open up each
receptacle, switch, and light fixture on that particular circuit in search
of a broken or loose connection. The problem could even be in a receptacle
that is still working.

If you are not comfortable doing this, I suggest that you call in an
electrician.

My wife was using the vacuuming and what seemed like a simple act of
circuit breaker's just doing their job has turned into a mystery to me.

All circuit breakers are on. The outlets that are affected are NOT even
on the same circuit (i know this from the breakers go off in the past),
and some of the outlets that I know are on the same breakers as the ones
that don't work are working fine.

I have two GFI outlets (one in each bathroom) and one works fine and one
does not. I am truly stumped.

Any help would be appreciated.
