{Just like Old Times}

Remember back when we lived with mom and dad for 6 months? Well, we're back. No, we didn't exactly "lose" our house - it just has no heat. Yes, you heard that right. We have no heat on the coldest days of winter. We still have a foot of snow outside covered with ice since it's been about 4 degrees out. New Years Eve around 4pm I started smelling something burning, or melting, I wasn't sure, but knew something wasn't right. If something smells funny in our house it's usually Lucas at this point - and it wasn't him. Luckily Shawn was home and eventually found that our heater had melted or the motor had or something of that nature - not fixable at this point. We have calls in to a couple heater guys, but still haven't heard back. We're assuming no one will show until monday at the very earliest. So, needless to say we had to pack up and move down the street. It could be worse I suppose - we are so lucky to have family so close, and family that doesn't mind an extra 6 people in their house (that are not quiet people by any means). It's been a huge pain, but oh well. Not exactly the way I wanted to bring in 2010. We did have an awesome New Years Eve though - we spent the night with the Punswicks and had a blast. The kids were awesome and all stayed up til 11 - our kids have never stayed up that late and they thought they were pretty cool. We hardly even saw the kids all night - they were so good. Thanks for hosting a great night guys! Anyway - I'm off to crawl back in my old bed.
Hope you all had a great first day of the year!! I'm hoping tomorrow goes a bit better...

I'm out -
