Oh what a Friday
Emma starting coming down with a cold on Tuesday and Xavier soon followed. Now it's Friday and they are both still stricken with an awful cough and little runny noses.
This morning did have an interesting start however. I woke up just before Richard was heading out for work, once he left, I felt it was a little cool. I checked the thermostat, it was set a 66 degrees, but the interior temp was 64... hmmmmm. I turned the thermostat up to 70 and.... nothing. I waiting about 15 minutes, still nothing, went downstairs to look at the furnace, couldn't figure out how to check on it, so called Richard. He suggested that I call a service man since he couldn't leave work.
By the time I came back upstairs, Xavier had woken up and was wondering around the house crying looking for me. Poor little guy. I set up a little heater, changed the boys diaper and dressed him up to keep him warm. About 30 mins passed by and the interior temp had dropped another degree. I called the service man and about 10-15 mins later, the furnace just started working again. Weird. So I called back to cancel the service man, he suggested I keep an eye on the furnace, because there must be a reason why it stopped working in the first place.
The kids are both cranky and whiny, Emma is mad at me for deciding not to take her to school today (it's her turn for show & tell, but I'm sure the teacher will let her do it another day).
Now I'm waiting for 9 am to call furnace guys during regular hours so I can schedule an appointment for a furnace inspection.
8:30 am and I feel like I've been through a whole day already! This is going to be a very long day....

Just a little tired
I have been suffering from a cold since last week. Am doing better, but still really tired. I could go to sleep right now if it wasn't for my two (hyper) little munchkins. Baby seems to be as active as it normally is, my cold hasn't seen to affect the little one. Maybe that's why I'm so tired, sapping all my energy! LOL!
