All my hard work....down the drain

[krisathome]

I've been very diligent keeping the heat down and using less electricity but someone named Nathan came home with head lice. Poor kid, he felt terrible and I really gave my washer and dryer a workout. 20 loads in 2 days and now my year old Maytag Neptune hates me and doesn't want to spin out.

I was just feeling bad about all the electricity and natural gas I had to use this weekend. It will probably be more than I use all month long normally.

And I'm sending Lice boy back to school tomorrow, I hope. He gets way too bored with me.

Look at it this way, at least you haven't been paying high utility bills up to now in addition to having to use a larger amount of electricity & gas. Kind of like an emergency fund
