Last Tuesday was the first entirely chilly day of Winter time in the deep south where we live, chilly enough to turn the heat on, however unfortunately, the heat didn’t come on, and the vent was blowing chilly air.
It was in the thirties outside, and thirty is entirely chilly to us, so, I decided to let our hubby handle the Heating and Air Conditioning maintenance company while I took the kids out in search of warmth.
I thought that our brother’s apartment would be a nice start. I knew he would have his heat on and his apartment would be toasty, and the kids always love to see their cousins. I wasn’t able to reach our brother on his cell PC, so, I thought the kids and I would just drop in, surprisingly, our brother wasn’t home. It was about more than eight o’clock on a weekend day and not a nice time to go out to lunch. So, I did what I thought I would never do. I loaded them up with sugar. The two of us stopped at a donut shop for sizzling cocoa and sugar laden donuts while we soak up the warmth of the heater. It felt great! Hyped up on sugar, I decided to take the boys bowling. It was a little chilly in the bowling alley, but not as chilly as it was outside. Then, of course, I had to feed the kids again. Then, I took them to an day movie. To our relief, our hubby shot me a text that the heat was working and we could go home to a nice sizzling house, however yay! I spent a great day with our kids and now I can go home to a nice sizzling apartment and curl up with a nice book.
