SEPTEMBER 7th- SWEATY PITS

We were lucky enough to spend our Labor Day weekend hot and sweaty and bitter. Our air conditioner decided to go out not only for the holiday, but was totally useless for 11 days straight. The kids both happened to get sick during that time. At one point Cole had a fever of 102 and it was 94 degrees in the house. It was absolutely miserable and so very frustrating. Since we rent the house the situation was completely out of our control. The owner of the house could have had it repaired within a couple of days but chose to depend on a 2 man crew that he is friends with regardless of if they rarely returned phone calls or showed up when they were supposed to.

If someone doesn’t provide the service that you are paying them for…Seriously, call someone else…And quickly!! I won’t go into all the “heated” mess we had to deal with while the A/C was out, but I will say that even though the noisy window units may have briefly given us a lovely white trash status, they do actually work fairly well.

Don't get me wrong, I do understand that sometimes things happen that are out of our control, but when a situation could have easily been prevented if people weren’t too ignorant to realize what needs to be done…That’s when I get very upset and am no longer understanding.

In the 6 months we’ve lived here, we’ve noticed that people are just not in a hurry to do anything around here…But they are always doing something. Maybe if we had a fishing boat, a four wheeler, camouflage trim on our vehicle, a lawn mowing side business, or were constantly working on anything in the garage...We might fit in a little better.

It was actually cooler outside than inside the house so, the kids tried to cool off and have a little fun.
Needless to say, this time for us was not spent smelling like roses. :)
