Well a few weekends ago we realized it was really cold in our house and by Friday night it was almost unbearable so we called the maintenance hotline for our property mgmt company (a huge benefit of renting) and they sent someone out. The bad news was that the part needed had to be ordered so we were without heat for the whole weekend. It was really really cold and we spent the afternoon one day at friend's house and then we hung blankets and used tiny space heaters to try to keep the living room and Shawn's office bearable but honestly it was just okay with several blankets and multiple layers of clothes. Our thermostat only goes down to 45 so I know it was at least that cold but I am guessing it was lower than that. Overall the kids did fine enjoying the adventure of it all but it was so cold the hardwood floors were like ice and the cold came through whatever shoes you were wearing. It made me so thankful for just a few days rather than an entire winter trying to get by with little money and no heat or living on the streets. Sometimes it takes something like this to remind you to be thankful.
