Finally, after 4 chilly days and nights of no heat, we are in business again! We don't appreciate the little things, until they're gone. Like heat.
We got home on Christmas Eve night anticipating cozy sugar plum dreams and all of the wonder that accompanies Christmas Eve night. Instead we stepped into another kind of dream. An ice-cold one. Our heat had mysteriously quit. So, we bundled up, tried to keep warm, and slept a cold, cold sleep that night. The next night we were more prepared. My papa brought us a space heater for Cale's room and Carl and I slept in the living room next to the gas fireplace. I know you're probably asking yourself, "Why didn't you sleep in the living room the first night?" Well, you're right in pondering. To answer that question, my husband the "tight wad", thought it would be too expensive to run the gas fireplace all night. Sooo, instead we froze our buns off!
But, today on this glorious Monday morning, we have a nice, toasty home once again.
The crazy thing is, I'm going to miss the ambiance of sleeping next to the glow of the fireplace. And, I'm going to miss the fireplace in general because having heat=no fireplace!
