Helloooo Energy Bill.....
Just the other day the ladies at playgroup were comparing notes on energy bills. Our monthly bills are reaching 600 buckaroos! Which seems completely ridiculous to me! But we are billed on a "budget" which basically means that we get our yearly total divided equally into 12 payments instead of fluctuating up and down each month. Just seems easier to manage for us....of course, when we got home from playgroup, I was talking to Drew about it. Just saying how important it is for us to save energy- turn off lights, computer, etc. We keep the heat pretty low (just ask my sister, she insists on wearing turtlenecks and sweaters to visit!) Sooo....fast forward to today- I come upstairs to feed Olivia and put her to bed and something is just "off". I immediately get a headache, complaining to Drew and need some Advil. Now, this is weird because I never (hardly ever) get headaches and now all of a sudden I have a massive one. I feed Olivia, lay her in her crib, and stand back up and feel woozy- damn, its hot in here is my thought! I didn't even want to put her blankets on- she was going to overheat! I take a look at the temperature and someone, not me, not Olivia....hmmm, has set the thermostat to 70 degrees! It was honestly like a sauna. Well, that explains my headache! Needless to say, it is set back to 63!
