Can you see the Morning After

[totite]

Hi Pam. So even if it is cold out - crack your windows a bit to get some fresh air in the house. Look in the phone book under gas company and call them - they can tell you if you are a customer or not. Or go look on the meter on the side of your house - their name and number are likely on it. Better safe than sorry. And if it is a gas issue, you should not use the phone (especially cell) as they can throw an electric spark in the air and ka-boom!

I will also second the suggestion of buying a carbon monoxide detector for each level of your home. CO is a colorless, odorless gas that can kill. Most people get drowsy, go to bed and never wake up. A good detector will run $35 - $50 or so, plug in and have a battery back-up.

Was last night the first time you used your fireplace this season? Call the company that installed it and ask them if an off-gasing occurs with the first use. If not, it should be under warranty and they can send someone to check to see that it is working properly. Sensors break or are defective too sometimes.

You are right in keeping an eye on the Shelties as they do have sensitive noses, but also listen to your body.

Well, it seems like you made a list of things to do this weekend. I am not sure if you are accepting my challenge, but since my back is killing me, I won't be doing the playroom this weekend after all. I do however, plan on keeping up with the flylady ideas and some other light projects around here.

Keep checking things off your list and you will feel great!

Hey - I bought Nemo too - the kids have already watched it 2 or 3 times. It is such a great movie - look for the fun references to Toy Story in it too. And if you haven't seen that - add it to your rental list. Let's see....Lion King, Toy Story, Finding Nemo....all you need is a fire and some popcorn - and David! You can have a marathon!
