Not bad. I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. Woke up at 7am to a broken furnace and 52 degrees in our home. Got an HVAC to come out by 8am. Need a new motor which isn’t something that is just in their work truck (didn’t mean to have any tone here lol just more of a factual statement—so many different make models it’s just not feasible). Not sure if the HVAC supply store will be open tomorrow so lookin like no heat till Tuesday. Shut our water off, tried to plug any drafts around doors as much as possible, packed the kids up, and headed to grandmas. Kids had no idea we just put on extra pjs and wrapped in blankets to open our presents at home quick. Just checked my thermostat via next. Shows 46 degrees at my house currently. Hoping for the best when I head back to scope things out tomorrow. This is one for the books.

Ugh I'm so sorry! My husband works HVAC and was on call this weekend. He worked 30+ hours in 2 days. This weather is killer. Hope you get your heat back on soon and there's no lasting damage to your pipes!

I'm sorry but thankful to you and your husband! Hard to have him work over the holidays, but he saved so many holidays for others.

He only had one call yesterday so we were able to have an awesome Christmas. I'm just thankful that he got a break. Thank you!

We really appreciate families like yours that have their spouses sent to work on a moments notice on some of the most important days of the year. Thanks again and merry Christmas!

I appreciate it—I’m glad too! Definitely not taking it for granted. It’s been a day but thankful for how it turned out.
