We just got back from our little trip to Kentucky Lake last Thursday and then on Saturday our air conditioner died. We live in the South and the temperature is around 100 degrees right now, I don't want to even guess the heat index. We were walking out the door Saturday afternoon to go to a friend's outdoor birthday party when the a/c quit. I was one HOT mama and not in a cute sexy way! When we got back home to pack our bags and go to my mom's house to stay the night it was hotter inside my house than it was outside.
So off we went with food, clothes, toys and whatever else I could shove in my truck before I passed out from heat exhaustion. Thank goodness my mom has a BIG house and we could dump ourselves and all our stuff in her nice air conditioned house for the weekend. Whatever parts we needed or god forbid a completely new a/c unit wasn't going to be purchased on the weekend. I know this because we own a commercial heating and air service company and I have worked there my whole life. My brother came over Saturday evening and sure enough we needed to replace the ancient antiquated energy sucking piece of.......................oh sorry I was just seeing the $$$$$ signs flash before my eye for a minute there.
Anyway 6 days at mom's house with one kid sleeping in the guest bedroom with me; the other one on air mattress with my hubby in the living room and way too much gas burned driving back and forth to our house while repairs were being made, I am officially, completely exhausted. What a week, certainly not what I had on my "To Do List"
Being displaced, out of our home has really made me appreciated what I have. I missed my little house, my bed, my kitchen and my shower!!!
