Tulsa, OK

Mom woke us up at 4:30 yesterday morning because she thought the pilot light on the furnace had gone out. Of course, I’m the only one in the house who knows how to relight it (thanks Frank). Unfortunately for us, the pilot light was working just fine. Apparently, the furnace has another problem. We think it may be something in the thermostat, but we don’t really want to spend a couple hundred dollars getting that fixed when the whole furnace needs replaced soon. We won’t have the money to replace the furnace for a couple more weeks. I don’t know what we’re going to do. The weather has decided to act like its winter again, and the last couple of days have been terribly cold. At least the kids can go to school and warm up for a few hours before having to come home to the freezer we call home now. At least with this being Oklahoma the weather should change soon. In fact, it seems like the local weathermen are saying Monday’s temps are supposed to be in the 60s. We just have to make it through the weekend without turning into popsicles. Wish us luck.
