Went with my oldest sister today over to our mom's house. We try to go over once a week to vacuum, mop, and dust. When we first got there, as usual, we sit with mom to have a cup of coffee. Since it was already 80 inside mom's house, we only needed one cup! Then, after our coffee, we do the cleaning which really isn't hard to do because mom's house is always neat and tidy! We finished about an hour later and, since it was too early to eat lunch, we ran our errands. When we got to the car, my sis says,"man, is it hot in the house or what"! By this time, my hair is almost dripping wet from sweat! Anyway, we got cooled off while running our errands and then went back to mom's for lunch. The ac was on at this point, so the rest of our vist was really nice.
I try to keep in mind that I probably will have my house hot too someday. We love our mom and since her health is not the best in the west, we try to do what we can to keep her with us longer.
Don't worry. I'll put you in a home where you can't play with the thermostat. man...that makes me giggle.
ReplyDeleteOf course you do what is best for your momma. She did the same for you.
Ha Ha. I was thinking the same think as Debbie. If you want to work up a sweat from cleaning and not just the temp of the house...COME ON OVER :) I hate dusting. This is why minimalist live the way they do. Tell Grandma we love her! And we won't put her in a nursing home...even if we thought so when we were little.
