Man the wind was blowing last night. I woke up at 1am and was up until sometime after 2 as I had to run down and do some last minute things on the computer. It didn’t rain but trees and power lines are down around us. They say the winds were 70 miles an hour plus. Luckily we appear to be ok. Today we’re having our sprinkler system winterized and getting an estimate to insulate our attic. I think the insulation is around $2000! When the man told me this on the phone I told him we should probably wait as there’s no way we can afford that but he said he’d come do an energy audit anyhow for free so we know what we’re dealing with. You see our energy bills are twice what our neighbors are according to the power company. Some of this is due to all the computers and phones but a lot is due to poor insulation and living in a house built in 1967.
We’re all up and it’s 7am now. We have lots to do this weekend around here. We need to get the boys their snowboard boots from the rental shop for the season as the ski areas open next weekend! Lacey has a doctor appointment for her ears, taxes are due Tuesday and we just found out they’re double what we were told yesterday, uggh, and we need to find something fun for the boys to do tomorrow, maybe go get our pumpkins!
I also need to go see my Mom. It’s funny as she lives so close (I could throw a baseball and hit her house) but we just don’t get up there much. We all said how we need to make a point to do so as she surely doesn’t come over here!
Time to run, hope everyone is well, God Bless!
