Welcome to HELL!
I couldn't wait for the warm weather to come and now it's finally here. Well, I want it to go away now. It's been 2 days and I had enough already! Yesterday I decided that it was time to turn on the AC because it got up to 79 degrees in the house. So here I go and close all the windows up tight and finally broke down and cut the dang thing on. I thought since I'm waiting for it to cool off I'll take a trip to Joanns. Well, a couple hours later I get back home hoping I'd enter a nice cool comfortable house. WRONG. What the hell? I look at the thermostat and it says 81 degrees. Did I turn the damn heat on by mistake? Lemme check. Nope. It shows a little "snowflake" and that means cold. Well, maybe since it's a little bigger house it needs more time. I check back 30 minutes later. It is now 83 *&^%$#@! degrees. Scott and I checked everything. We checked the wires to the unit outside, cleaned and replaced the filter with a new one, tore open the thermostat to make sure it was ok. Ckeck it again....it's now 84 degrees. I think I figured it out. Our air conditioner is not working. I now saved us about $65 for a guy to come out and tell us that. So we prayed for the sun to go down and for a nice cool summer breeze to relieve us from our misery so we can get some sleep. Did we? No. We didn't. After getting a little sleep I woke up feeling like I was back to being 2 years old and waking up to a wet bed. Eeeeew! I walked in the kitchen and believe it or not it was quite cool in there. I knew it wasn't going to last long though. I tried to call sis because we did have plans on her coming here and us scrapbooking all day. I wanted to give her a warning of what she was getting herself into and if she wanted to cancel I would completely understand. Nope. She was going to be a brave soul and deal with it. After all, we had WORK to do! We braved it pretty good by shutting all the windows and blinds and by turning all the ceiling fans on. We got a couple pages done but not anything like we had planned. I, of course, had to "take a break" which consisted of me laying on the couch for just a minute to cool off some. Next thing you know dear ol' sis was waking me up with bags and a cold drink in her hand saying bye to me. Was she leaving so soon? Buy why? Why was her face so shiny and her shirt all wet? I just don't understand? We still had work to do didn't we? I didn't even get to the front door to see her off and she was gone. Disappeared. What is that in my driveway? Skidmarks? Hmmmm.....

LoL! You are so silly!
Amen though! I was like "yay, summer" for about a day and now I'm ready for fall. It's so humid here for some reason. Now you know how I feel with no air conditioning...it sucks. :( I'm going to read this blog regularly so keep it up. :) Love ya Mommy!
---------------I laughed sooooooooo hard!!!! You've become quite the
writer! Or maybe you've always been and I just didn't know
it? But I swear, I love reading your writings. I know you
read alot but I don't think a person can establish writing
skills just from that -- do you? So is this newly exposed
talent something you recently acquired or have you always
had it and kept it under wraps? I was laughing so hard
David had to know what I was enjoying over here on my side
of the room so I read it to him. He laughed alot too!!!
He agrees with me, "you can really write!" Hope you keep
it up -- it's good therapy for you I suppose but very
entertaining for me -- so keep sharing!! I LOVE IT!!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
