Wasted energy and a Death in the family

Well nothing really new these days.

We got a new washer and dryer it is an energy star front loader washer and dryer. I absolutely love it. I got it for xmas and it was delivered around the 19th of January. Nope I did not pay for it. As I said it was a gift.

My biggest pet peeve of the holiday season was not the gifts or the money that paid for the gifts. It was my electric bill and the sad part is that I didn't have lights on anywhere not on a tree, not out on the house, I would turn off all the lights . The other day peanut was telling a kid that wanted to play with him where he lived and he told him and the little kid said ohhhhhh you live in that dark house. HAHAHa. Oh well I try but still the electric for the last two months was 300 dollars WHAT!!!!!!!!!! I am so made we have doubled the plastic on the windows. I have shut the flew so the heat would not go out the top of the house. I have shut all the lights off and the kids have shut of the lights when they leave a room. everything is on power strips we had already changed all the light bulbs to CFLs and we regulate everything that involves energy we have unplugged the microwave the cellphone chargers everything. I don't understand but if someone has any ideas please feel free to tell me.

Anyway that is my problem right know.


Oh and D's grandpa passed last Saturday from the late stages of Alzheimer's and so the funeral is tomorrow and the boys are honorary pall bearers I think that is how you spell it. anyway that is what is going on now.
