Warm and Toasty

Well I sort've dropped the ball on the Week in My Life posts. Friday/Saturday/Sunday just kind of fell by the wayside. Oops. But no bother, the first 4 days were a pretty good overview on my life. Honestly, it's that my normal blogging time is either in the morning or during rest time. And typically M doesn't let me do much else but hold her during those times.

And I could stay up to write but I'm going to be honest, in our newborn parenting stage we have become senior citizens and the entire household is upstairs in bed by 9:00 nightly.

But right now she's sleeping without being held so I am going to try and pound out a post quick.

First the big news: our house is warm!! Our furnace has gotten slowly more and more temperamental and we had the guy come out and look at it yesterday. This is kind of a long complicated story but I'll make it quick.

The guy came out at 8:30 and by 9:30 gave us a clean bill of health on the furnace and was on his way. Only for the furnace to act up and die by 10:00. He came back about 11:45 (we called right away) and was with us until 2:30 making sure the furnace was playing along and working well. So to the tune of $700 our house is warm and cozy. Totally worth it. Plus, that cost also includes a check and cleaning of the air conditioning come spring.

We also ordered our Saran Wrap the windows kits (you know what I'm talking about right? When you use a hair dryer to shrink Saran wrap to make windows not drafty?) off of Amazon. (SO much cheaper than Home Depot or the Ace Hardware store prices.) So we'll be able to do that this weekend and the house will be even warmer.

In other news M's baptism is officially scheduled. After a very complicated process with some disorganized individuals in the Parish office I am very happy to say it all worked out great and I am looking forward to next weekend! It's handy we could combine it with our Thanksgiving weekend when my family is in town anyhow.

It snowed over the weekend. Not a lot, just about an inch but C very much enjoyed it. He got to play outside on Sunday for a while and LOVED that. The only thing about the snow is that he is fairly convinced that snow = Christmas. So he wants to watch Christmas movies and sing Christmas songs. He would also like a Christmas tree. I have given in on the movies and music but I am holding out on the tree until after Thanksgiving!

With that, M has woken up so I should go rescue her. Happy Tuesday!
