You’re the boss, Brandice

Tis the season

Yesterday, after my children asked me if they could wear their mittens and hats…inside, I thought I should check the thermostat to see what was up. It said it was 58, and the the thermostat was set for 65. I called my handy dandy brother-in-law, who’s a HVAC guy. He came over and then he told me a part needed to be replaced on my unit. Well, that’s fabulous.

It’s cold. Very, very cold. We have some electric wall heaters and some of those little heaters that you plug into the wall, the kind that look like little radiators. It’s not really warm enough though. My boys, the naked ones, have wanted 2 layers of clothes on since yesterday. So, I finally solved the whole “naked children” problem.

You should try it too. They wont even take clothes off long enough to change clothes. So, I’m not creating anymore laundry than I need to. When Summer gets here, I’ll go back to one allotted outfit a week…or two weeks. We’ll just play that part by ear.

I can hear little people foraging in the kitchen. I should throw some slop in the trough. Till tomorrow faithful readers!
