Some of our kids were aggravated when I had to cancel their summer plans and extracurriculars, but I reminded them that getting the a/c fixed would be such a relief and a return to normalcy! Everyone has had trouble sleeping, since every one of us likes to keep the temperature control at a genuinely cold sixty-two degrees at night, so I was also able to use that promise to calm them down
My husband and I have a very large family. Life can get crazy with all the responsibilities that I have to juggle. Most of the time, I can handle things, but every now and then a real wrench is thrown into the works. This time around it was our air conditioner completely breaking down. When I tell you that this couldn’t have happened at a worse time, I mean it. It’s the middle of August and we live in a very hot part of the country. As a result, the cost to update an a/c is exponentially higher than it would be due to the busy season. Me and my family were planning a lot of mini getaways, so having our HVAC system break was definitely not a part of the plan. I even had a difficult time scheduling an HVAC mechanic to come out and examine our broken a/c. I am rarely home, plus the HVAC supplier was almost entirely booked.

It was a headache, but everyone was happy when we were able to get that taken care of.
