"I don't have gas!"

That was the first thought this morning, after looking at the gauge on my propane tank. My second thought? "Oh shit!" That's because propane is my source of heat for the house I rent.

Actually the tank was at 5%...enough to last another day and a half perhaps.

So I called Ferrellgas and had to set up a same day delivery (an additional $105). The driver just left...grand total: $668.62. This was the second tank full of gas I've had to buy this winter. I shouldn't have to buy any more gas. If I do I may try eating a can of kidney beans and farting into the tank. Will the neighbors approve?

As luck would have it, I found out the truck driver was already in my area when he came by. In other words, he would have been able to come by today WITHOUT me paying the extra fee. Of course the charges had already been assessed by the lovely people at the office. The driver couldn't help me out, but sanity did prevail. I called the office back, explained the situation, and a nice gentleman issued me a refund for the $105. I feel better now.

I've got a busy day today (well, busy for me). Matthew has an appointment at 4:30, then basketball practice at 6:30. We'll be on the go, but it will give us a good bit of quality time.

The kids started fighting over the weekend about who got to sit in the front seat, so I had to pull out the rule my sister and I had as kids. And now Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday belong to Sarah, and Monday, Wednesday, Friday belong to Matthew. Sundays are alternated. Problem solved.

lol...So you think problem solved. I'm sure there will still be some bickering involved.
