Last night was the best sleep that I've gotten in ages.  Greg was in KC, the kids were with Pat because of the snow and I was home alone.  Granted I didn't get to have quite the relaxing evening that I would have liked, but still.  I got a full 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep! 
Last evening when I got home from work (1.5 hours after I left because of the snow and road conditions) I walked inside so that I could pump before I picked up the kids.  Then I realized that it happened again.  Our heater has been throwing a breaker for a couple of days now and since Greg is out of town, I'm left to my own vices to figure out what is going on.  I called Greg and he had me call Greg Hatcher to come look at our heating unit.  Greg came over (bless his heart, in the snow and everything) and said that he couldn't see anything that was wrong with it unless it was something that required that he take the ENTIRE unit apart and look at the internal wiring.  Before he left he wanted to look at the breaker box.  When he saw it, he felt how hot the breaker switch was & told me to call Dad and have him take a look at it.  I called Dad and he took a switch out of their breaker (the one for the stove) and replaced ours.  Lo and behold, the damn thing worked all night long!  Hooray!  Now dad is going to pick up a replacement switch for ours and replace it tonight so he can have their's back.  I've never been more grateful for a warm house when it's snowing & -15 degrees with the windchill outside!
