Monday morning Justin got up at 3:30 so he could leave the house at 3:50am to pick up a coworker and catch the red eye out to Houston. This is after he has been working literally 72 hours strait. He was doing some contract work for a friend from 8:00pm until 7:00 or so the next morning Thursday and Friday night after putting in a full days work for GE. He would catch a couple of hours through the night but for the most part worked. He was exhausted and really did not want to head to Houston.
He sent a text at 5:50 that morning saying they were pulling away and would let me know when he landed. Another one shortly followed with they are heading back to the gate for mechanical problems. I get the boys off to school and when I get home at 7:45 he sends another text saying they are now boarding the plane. Needless to say he was a little tired from getting up at 3:30 for no reason.
The day goes on and I notice it getting a little warm in the house and just figure its really hot outside and do not think about it. I go and pick the boys up at the bus stop and when I get back I really notice it so I walk over to the thermostat and it is 82 degrees. I am melting people... melting. Do you remember what you just read people? JUSTIN IS OUT OF TOWN! Of course he is. It is the first day of school and we are trying to get in a routine so its not like I can just pack up and go stay with my parents for the night.
I call my brother since he just had problems with his and he gave me the name of a guy. He first said that he would come by and take a look. He got here and went and took a cover off the unit and said there was a little problem... a wire had burned and he saw metal pieces down in the bottom of the box. I am no AC repair guy but I know that can't be good. So the temp is now 84 degrees upstairs and Sophia's monitor is reading 88 in her room. THANK GOODNESS we have three units and the one in the master bedroom and the office is working.
The repair man could come at 11:00 the next day so I brought the boys mattress' downstairs to my room and Sophia's pack n play to the office. We had an early dinner and headed into my room to shut the doors and watch tv. It was finally bedtime. I could not wait to crawl in bed. Then the teeth grinding started and the talking in their sleep. It was a sleepless night but at least there was air conditioning!
The guy came out the next morning and fixed it within a couple of hours. It was cooled down by 2:00 or so and I could not have been happier.
