Clearly, I have no shame.  It’s been so hot.  And we made it an extra two weeks this summer before turning on the air…and then we did.  And, then we got the electric bill.  And figured out that it costs roughly ten dollars A DAY (!) to air condition our house.  Yes, we live in an old farm-style house.  It’s a four bedroom, so not overly big.  With its original 1938 windows.  And our bedroom has three big windows that face due west.  With no tree shade in the afternoon and evening.  So.  I did this:

Yes.  That’s aluminum foil.  And yes, it helps.  And yes, I’m embarassed.  But I’m also cheap. 

To help thwart my feelings of shame, we did this:

I ran through, too.  And got my shorts all sprinkly.  And Tara and Tim giggled with glee.  And Tim shouted “Mommy, ‘gain!!  ‘Gain!!”  (Seems no child ever says the first ‘a’ in the word again.  At least no child I have known.)

It helped the embarassment.

And every day we’re one day closer to getting our new windows…hopefully the end of July.
