Day 177 & 178 - HOT HOT HOT!

Whew so I do apologize for missing yesterday's update. Our Air-conditioning unit decided to give up on us. We had a guy come out to look at the unit around 9pm and he was able to fix it by replacing a part. Then the freaking thermostat decided to fall apart when we put it back so the hubby had to run to home depot for another one. He got it back only to discover that the wall plate was different so he had to take that off too and install the new one from scratch. He had to figure out which wires went were and got it done. The diva and I were hiding upstairs melting - it was close to 10:30pm and she was still up - poor girl was just in her diaper and still melting. Hubby got the new unit in only to discover that the AC was still not turning on and now lights were flickering and not working in the basement.

We called the guys back and were told the message would be passed to the service technician. We waited... we were getting despondent... I called my mommers and asked if we could come crash there in 30 minutes if the guy didn't show up. The parentals were only too happy for us to let ourselves in and use the spare room. Mom said she would have the mattress ready on the floor for the little Diva too.

We waited another sweaty 15 minutes and decided to call it quits. By this point the Diva was asleep in the middle of our bed being slightly cooled by the ceiling fan and another fan on the tv stand. We quickly packed a few things and got the Diva into her pj's. She threw quite the fit when we squeezed her into the car but she was luckily soon fast asleep.

We got to the parentals and let ourselves in. As I suspected might happen we were greeted by a sleepy but happy to see us mommers! She made sure we were all settled and then everyone got to bed.

At 8am we got a call from the technician saying he's at our house so we quickly packed up after a cup of coffee and set off back home. The little Diva was really happy to wake up to Granny an Grandpa, even if she looked super confused at 6am trying to figure out where she was! Chasing Misty around was also definitely a high point!

We got home and thankfully by the time the little diva and I got back from the play center the house was staring to cool down. It looks like the guy merely tripped a fuse last night. He did however have to rewire part of the fuse panel though so who knows eh?

The Diva and I went for a mall walk while we waited for the house to cool (took a couple of hours_ and she ate a butterfly cooking while mom had an iced tea. It was all good fun!

I would keep typing but my eyes are actually closing on me. Night night everyone :)
