Brrrr

Our furnace broke a couple weeks ago. (Okay, it may have only been one week ago, but it feels like much longer!) Anyways, it only stays lit for like an hour. Then we have to go back downstairs and manually light it with a lighter. It's really annoying. I get to go to bed warm, but wake up just freezing! 

Me and Joe have it figured out so that who ever gets up first in the morning will turn the heat back on for when the other person wakes up :) so that's nice!

Well, seeing as how it was FREEZING outside today (December weather minus the snow?) I was not looking forward to coming home to a equally as FREEZING house. I made up a plan in my head on the way home. Brilliant!

Usually I get home and let the puppies outside right away. Tonight I wanted to get the furnace lit first so that while I was outside with the puppies the house would maybe warm up a little first. (now that I think about it, how warm could the house have gotten in a minute and a half?? not the point though!) So I get in the house and run up the stairs, turn the heat switch on and then run downstairs to light it quick before it shuts off.. ONLY to find that I left the freakin' lighter upstairs! So I run back upstairs, grab the lighter and light the stupid thing.

Poor dogs were still in their kennel barking their fool heads off the whole time.

They were probably wondering what had their mama running around like a crazy person!

On another note.. I was driving home last night and saw that the snowmobile markers are up! That makes me excited for snow :) .. but not the cold. I'm so indecisive!
