Suck it Up? I Don't Think So!!!

I hate bills!!! I know everyone hates bills. However, it is part of life. You pay the mortgage, car payments, utilities, medical things, groceries, etc. No big deal, you just deal with it. Until yesterday when I open up my latest Energy bill....I seriously fell to the floor...I was hollering "HUBBY!!!!!" you will not believe this! I say this is the largest gas/electric we have EVER had. I dreamt about it last night, I was a crazy person with the kids talking about being wise about using power, I am unplugging, turning lights off, etc. The thing that gets me is that our heat is never set above 67 degrees. We turn it down to 60 when we are not home....what gives?

New Practices that will happen: We walk around in robes, blankets, and use candles for light! (not really candles, but just making a point) We must cut down on video gaming...damn Wii Fit must be sucking up all the power. If no one is watching TV...off it goes. We must learn to entertain ourselves without sucking up energy. I hope next month is better because this really sucks! I am not talking a little higher, but $100.00 more than last month!
