coooold

our heater started blowing cold air last night just before we went to bed. this happened several times in new jersey when the weather got cold and we were just hoping that was what was happening here. after all this is the original unit from the house. we shut off the heater (so it wouldn't blow cold air all night long) and decided to give it a break and try again in the morning.

the house was 56 degrees when we woke up.

the house is now 57 degrees =-(

the heater still doesn't work.

we have a fire started but it's not hot enough yet. brrrrr we are like Popsicles over here!!

brayden, not understanding what is going on just asked, 'mommy, why do you keep opening windows?' i told him i wasn't opening windows and the heater was broke and he looked at me, sighed and then proceeded to ask, 'mommy, i wish i had hair all over my body like sally.' heehee!! sally is our golden retriever. he said she looked warm and he really wanted to be warm. for the record, sally was huddled up in the corner of the love seat, on a blanket, partially covered by the blanket. i'm not thinking she was that warm either, lol. taffy (our toy poodle) hasn't even gotten out of bed yet. she is still hiding under the covers with only her head poking out, lol. smart dog!!

hopefully the pilot light has just blown out in the storm. chuckie will be checking that shortly.

on a side note - 'bell-bell' has officially been found!! ab's is beyond happy! she has been carrying her around since daddy found her (hiding under our pedestal bed) she currently sits inside my robe since she is 'cold' too while ab's plays with her taking her in and out and in and out disturbing my typing, lol.

all is worth it though =-) she is happy but we are still cold!!

**an update**
the pilot light had burned out in the storm but my fabulous huband fixed it!! THANKFULLY we don't have to buy a new unit just yet =-)
