Beating the Heat

Its is the beginning of summer and so the beginning of breaking out the sandals, swimsuits, and sunblock. My house, which I have lived in for most of my life has never had A/C. I mean never! How did we battle the scorching summer heat you ask...well we pretty much walked around with as little clothing as permitted. You know if we could walk around naked we probably would but even the thought of that gives me the heebe jeebes.

After a month of begging my mom to at least consider installing central A/C in the house, she finally gave in and called a company for a free estimate. After much thought, the workers were at our door Monday morning ready to have it all installed. I was at work Monday and I was hoping that the workers would be finished by the time I got home, but I was proven wrong once I drove up my street and saw all the trucks still  in my driveway. Walking into my house which was about 90 degrees according to the thermostat was just awful. My daughter had to be undressed all the way down to her diaper so she can stay cool.

 She is the main reason my  mom finally decided to install the a/c. I'm thankful because I dont know how me and the crabby patty were gonna take a whole summer with type cooling system. After 12 hours of working on the a/c the house finally had everything installed, problem was it was 8pm the house was still at 86 degrees. It was a lot cooler outside than inside. But we turned on the a/c and just waited about an hour for it to cool off the whole house. It.Felt.Great!  I was even cold I had to sleep with the blankets.

All I know is that this is going to be a pleasant summer, now to convince my mom to build a pool out back.
