So take off all your clothes...."
Yes, in the words of Nelly, this is what I wanted to do last night ...and unfortunately this is the song I had in my head when I woke up this morning at 6am. Its a horrible song (and its a few years old) so you might be wondering why I would have this stupid song in my head. As lame as this song is, when I opened my eyes this morning (wondering & hoping for the night to be over) this is the song that played in my mind.
So...let's see..... it all started about a month ago when our AC at home started "teasing" my husband (as he liked to call it). The fan would turn off for no reason and warm air would blow out for sporadic periods of time. But we could always mess with the thermostat and seem to get it to work again. After rigging up a few things with tape, buying a new thermostat, replacing batteries, Luke getting shocked a few times....it finally just quit yesterday afternoon. We pressed buttons, Luke messed with more stuff and nothing! We were dead in the water.
So, at 9:45 last night we were loaded up in the car and on our way to Wal-Mart to find some cheap fans for our room and the boy's room. (See.... Grandma Hogue this is another reason why I couldn't move somewhere like Bear Valley! :)) Needless to say, we all slept horribly. I woke up at 1am to check on the boys and the thermostat said it was 88 degrees in the house.
"Are you kidding me?" I thought to myself.
The good news of course is I am sitting here with a blanket wrapped around me while I am typing because it is nice and chilly in the house....just like my polar bear (aka Luke) likes it. We got the AC fixed this afternoon and its a brisk 72 degrees in our house. I can't tell you how we did it, but it was legal. Thats all that matters! Its one of the few perks that I can honestly say is worth the stress of my husband's job. Its not always what ya know...its who ya know!
