We passed around the stomach flu, had the coldest month we could remember, and had a gas leak that resulted in co2 poisoning, and having our gas turned off because of a leak, taking with it our heat and hot water.
Our home was swarming with these guys late last Friday night as they tried to detect the source of the gas leak. |
But seriously--get a CO Detector! People can go years not knowing they're being poisoned, if the leak is small. Who knew?
Needless to say, we're very happy to be moving into February, with slightly warmer weather, slightly more light, and instead of focusing on "long suffering," we get to be "kind." How bad can it be?
To celebrate, the littles and I made this super easy poster. We used potatoes and a red and black ink pad, and viola! A reminder poster.
Happy February!
Scary, Ariel! We have a carbon monoxide detector, but I don't think it's plugged in. I'll make sure it is. Did your family get to wear some awesome uniforms, tanks, and masks, too??
ReplyDeleteCute poster! Maybes I'll cut a few potatoes like hearts and do one for Valentines. Thanks for the idea!
Yes, it is a dangerous thing to pray for patience. I've stopped doing that. ;)
ReplyDeleteYour family does endure so well with grace and good humor. I want to live with you guys, disasters and all.
(It's CO. CO2 is what we exhale and plants breathe in.)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'll fix it! (chemistry was my lowest grade in HS :S)
DeleteI know the feeling!! But thanks for fixing it … and I apologize for my Grammar police coming out!! It does that sometimes!
