"You're hot, then you're cold..."

"You're yes, then you're no..." I am a huge Katy Perry fan but I have that song in my head solely because this counts the third morning in a row that I have taken a COLD shower. And it's not because I am just so hot that I feel the need to do so. We had our little AC overflow problem two weekends ago which we still haven't begun the renovations on and then this past Sunday I noticed we had no hot water. Well, actually Jon Walker noticed and gladly screamed at me to let me know. We had been playing outside and I put the kids in the tub but never paid attention to the temperature of the water. I mean, my hands were in the water with them, scrubbing heads and dirty fingernails, and the water felt okay to me. But when I poured the water over his head to rinse the shampoo, you would have thought I was drowning the boy. Poor Kennedy's lips turned a not-so-pretty shade of purple and I knew we had a problem.

I have been a good mommy and have taken the kids to friends' homes the past couple of nights for a warm bath, but I have somehow managed to freeze to near death in the middle of the summer. I don't think many of our friends want me in their homes at six something in the morning so I can get a hot shower...no.

Hubby is home today fixing the problem, which is only the pilot switch and just so happens to be recalled, so it was a FREEBIE! You can bet I will be taking a long, hot bath tonight. And I'll think about giving the kids a warm one too!
