Once again, we are experiencing life in a cold climate. Heating oil is a wonderful substance. It easily burns to heat water that flows through the radiators in our home. However, it is a sad day when the heating oil man does not come and there is no more oil. Our complex ran out of heating oil today. As of 6pm our house was a cozy 60 deg F. I am not going to be able to get out of bed tomorrow, and I am not looking forward to anything hygiene tomorrow. Our house will be in the low 50's by the time the alarm goes off. If it gets much cooler, we will be driving to Patch Base Library for school tomorrow.
The kids have come up with there own ideas on how to survive without heat. Ethan's solution is to sleep in his longjohns which are under his t-shirt, sweater, and jeans. He does not plan to remove any layers before bed. Smart guy! Daniel is excited that the temp is finally about right for him. Matt will ignore our pleas for warm pjs and just freeze. He literally sleeps in the rafters (loft bed above the top floor bathroom) so he should be in the warmest area of the house. Oh yeah, we have a playdate tomorrow here. Looks like we will be serving lots of hot chocolate.
Just makes me appreciate the heat when it is available!
