A $500 utility bill made me realize my house needed some serious work so I am putting plastic on windows and covering them up to cut down on the drafts. I also made sure all the vents weren't covered up by something kind of hard tho when I have a cat who believes the vent in the kitchen was made specially for her and I have a dog who thinks the other vent in the bedroom is hers but nonetheless I have made the attempt of clearing the vents so the hot air can come up. I also get to yell at kids who like to leave doors open or open garage doors after I get them all shut tight. You would think teenagers would have enough sense not to open windows in the winter time or shut a door behind them when they come in but um I think my kids were born in a barn or something because i'm constantly yelling "SHUT THE DOOR!!" or I go in a bedroom and find a window open because they say " I was hot" Hello it's winter time you do not open the window! The one I loved is I go in my daughters room and find window open and heater on and her smoking a cigarette and blowing the smoke outside. First of all I know she smokes so she isn't hiding anything second why open a window? " I didn't want to fill the room with smoke" I roll my eyes " Shut the __ __ Window!!!!!" Got to love kids at least they say you have to. A well placed screw fixed the opening windows I will worry about getting it out come spring time. I also covered the window with plastic to further detere the hot little girl from opening the window in 7 degree weather. I thought of electrifying it but thought that might be a bit much. I am also considering putting a padlock on the thermostat so nobody can touch it. Anyway I was delighted to say that I did get the utility bill completely paid off which was a nice Christmas present to myself and my mother now we just need to keep it that way.
Merry Christmas everyone I hope you all stay warm :)
