Yes, I have been slack on my blogging....sorry! We have been busy for the most part. So lets do a little catching up.
Saturday I had to do some grocery shopping. Met one of my friends for a yummy lunch and then headed home. Mark and I had a baby shower to go to Saturday evening. So I spent a little time cleaning and then we were off to the baby shower. We got home around 8:30 and I think both of us were dead tired. We went to bed early...on a Saturday night! Yes we are getting older.
Sunday I really don't remember what I done... I think laundry and caught up on all my tv shows. Katie stopped by for a few minutes while Mark and Dusty went to check fox traps so we had some chat time and coffee. Oh yeah...Sunday we had a little adventure at our house. Mark had a fox in a dog kennel in our shop. Sunday morning he comes in the house and says "The fox is gone!!!". Of course I was like what do you mean it's gone? To which he replied it was not in the kennel. Basically this meant we had a wild fox loose in our shop. Oh goodness =) So he called over Dusty and Little David so the three of them could find it and hopefully wrangle it without getting attacked. So I went in the shop and stood on top of the 4 wheeler (I wasn't getting attacked) while the 3 boys looked in every nook and cranny. Finally they found him in a corner. So after freaking out a little they cornered him and got him safely into another kennel. I think stuff like this only happens at our house!!! It was a very entertaining 15 minutes watching the guys...LOL
Monday I came home from a LONG day at work and went to Mom's to get my hair colored. As soon as I was done I came back home to help Mark process our last deers. Basically this means cutting the meat off the bone, grinding it into hamburger and cube steak then packaging it and putting it away in the freezer. I went and picked us up some dinner because we didn't get done until a little after 8:00. After eating we went to check fox traps...no foxes this time. Then finally back home. I think I really sat down for the 1st time last night about 9:20...yeah that's a long day!
Then while I was sitting on the couch watching TV I noticed it was really cold in the house. I looked at the thermostat and it said 64 degrees. I thought that was weird since I have it set on 68. About 10:30 I knew something was wrong. It wasn't getting any warmer in the house and the heat had not stopped running. I finally went to bed and left the heat running to see what the situation looked like this morning. This morning the thermostat said 61 degrees. We HAVE a problem...I knew it at that point! So I got to work and called the service people to come out and take a look.
We already knew our coils in the house were leaking. We have had the problem since this summer, but it was only a small leak so we have been letting it slide. In December they had to come out and fill the unit with freon because it was almost out. Low and behold a month and 2 days later we are out of freon again. The leak has gotten really bad, and that is why the heat wasn't working. They filled it up with freon and it now we have heat. But since freon is $20 a pound and we had to have 6 pounds today, we can't ignore the leak any longer. I had them order the new coils today =( It really makes me want to cry because it is $990.00 for the new coils plus probably close to $200 on our service call today. It never fails...when it is time to get some tax money back something snatches it right up. Oh the joy's of home ownership!!!
I had to run some errands after work today. When I got home about 6:30 you better believe I took me an hour nap. I am stressed out and exhausted!!! So that's what I have been up to...and now I am going to bed!
Night!
